UNION AFRICAINE AFRICAN UNION ~...iil .lb.J""::il UNIAO AFRICANA AFRICAN COURT ON HUMAN AND PEOPLES' RIGHTS COUR AFRICAINE DES DROITS DE L'HOMME ET DES PEUPLES IN THE MATTER OF INGABIRE VICTOIRE UMUHOZA v. REPUBLIC OF RWANDA APPLICATION NO. 003/2014 DISSENTING OPINION OF JUDGE RAFAA BEN ACHOUR I do not subscribe to the Order issued by the Court in Application 003/2014 (Victoire lngabire Umuhoza). I indeed believe, on the one hand, that the Court was not obliged to make an Order at this stage of the proceedings and, on the other, that the reasons advanced by the Court do not, in my view, seem to be relevant, even assuming that the Order is well grounded and appropriate. I - It should be recalled that the said Application was filed before the Court on 3 October 2014 by Ms. Victoire lngabire Umohoza, relying on Articles 5(3) and Article 34(6) of the Protocol and on the declaration made by Rwanda on 22 January 2013, accepting the competence of the Court.
