CHAIRPERSON
No we understand this, we understand, but what is the situation?  We are a statutory body created by the Act, the promotion of natonal unit and Reconciliation Act No.  34 of 1995.  Our powers are derived from the Act.  We don't have any inherent jurisdiction as such.  Section 5(e) of the Act says, inter alia, that "...provided that" I'll read the last, the proviso, "...provided that no decision, or the process of arriving at such a decision, of the Committe on Amnesty regarding any application for amnesty shall be reviewed by the Commission."  And then there's nothing elsewhere in the Act which specifically gives us the power or the jurisdiction to review our own decisions, set them aside, or disregard them, etc.  What do you say about that?  Would we have any, no matter how compelling a case may be, would we have any power or authority to disregard a decision that, on the face of it, appears to be a final decision, although it hasn't taken into account all the facts, in that it would also appear that the persons who arrived at that decision didn't have reference to the second application?
