Interpret the Charter in such a way as not to be inconsistent with any international obligation – whether sentences violate articles 16, 27 and 31(d) – whether mandatory sentencing regime of MODA contravenes article 19(1). The sentences of 20 years imprisonment do not violate articles 16, 27 or 31(d) of the constitution or any international obligations – the sentencing regime under MODA 2016 does not contravene article 19(1) of the constitution
