SOLOMON MFA & 11 ORS V FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ECW/CCJ/JUD/06/19. 167. In view of the above reasoning, the Court is equally persuaded that in the instant case, it cannot do justice in awarding damages to an indeterminable number or unidentified victims and therefore declines to award the sum of sum of five hundred million (500,000,000) CFA Francs as compensation claimed by the Applicants on behalf of the Senegalese people. 168. The Court is, however, mindful that its function in terms of protection does not stop at taking note of human rights violation. If it were to end in merely taking note of human rights violations, the exercise of such a function would be of no practical interest for the victims, who, in the final analysis, are to be protected and provided with relief. The obligation of granting relief for the violation of human rights is a universally accepted principle. The Court acts indeed within the limits of its prerogatives when it indicates for every case brought before it, the reparation it deems appropriate. 169. In the instant case, in making orders for reparation, the Court in ensuring that measures are taken to guide the Respondent – the Republic of Senegal to achieve the objectives of Article 9 of the Charter as it concerns the Senegalese People, namely guarantee of freedom of expression, the Court therefore orders the Respondent to repeal the contested Order No.007580/MINT/SP dated 20 July 2011 to maintain the enjoyment of the said right. 51
