reunite families and ensure that children with albinism in these shelters have
access to basic services.
C. Implementation and reporting
422. The Court notes that the Parties did not make any prayers in respect of
implementation and reporting.
423. However, the justification provided earlier, in respect of the Court’s decision
to order publication of the judgment, is equally applicable in respect of
implementation and reporting. The Court also notes that the order on
reporting of the measures taken by a Respondent State is a matter of judicial
practice.121
424. The Court holds, therefore, that the Respondent State is under an obligation
to report on the steps taken to implement this Judgment within two years
from the date of notification of this Judgment.
IX.
COSTS
425. The Respondent State prays the Court to order the Applicants to bear the
costs. The Applicants did not make any prayer as regards costs.
426. Pursuant to Rule 32(2) of the Rules “unless otherwise decided by the Court,
each party shall bear its own costs.”
427. The Court observes that it does not charge any fees for any of its procedures
and the Respondent State has not substantiated its claim for costs.
Therefore, the Court rules that each party shall bear its own costs.
