95. The Applicant did not furnish the Court with any guideline for an accurate calculation of the amount involved as reparation for the harm pleaded. The Court deduces thereof that an all-inclusive amount may be paid to the Applicant. 96. A close examination of the facts in cause clearly demonstrate that the Applicant has gone through undeniable physical, psychological and moral harm, as a result of her nine (9) years of servitude, justifying the award of a relief in reparation for the harm thus suffered. Consequently 1. Whereas in any instance where the texts do not make provision for particular conditions in respect of admissibility of applications, the Court cannot impose heavier ones thereof; 2. Whereas the practice of 'wahiya?? or 'sadaka' - founded upon considerations of belonging to a social class - put the Applicant in an unfavourable condition and excluded her from the sure and certain benefits of equal dignity recognised for all citizens; whereas she was thus discriminated against by virtue of her belonging to a social class; but, whereas such discrimination is not attributable to the Republic of Niger; 3. Whereas the Court finds that the Republic of Niger did not sufficiently protect the rights of the Applicant in regard to the practice of slavery; 4. Whereas this condition of slavery has caused the Applicant undeniable physical, psychological, and moral harm. 5. Whereas the Applicant is therefore entitled to an all-inclusive relief in reparation for the harm resulting from such practice of slavery.
