132. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Court finds, for reasons now well
established in its practice, and in the particular circumstances of the instant
case, that publication of this judgment is necessary. Such a measure is
meant to ensure non-repetition of the violation found25 in the sense that it
reminds domestic courts to comply with the provisions of Article 7(1) of the
charter and Article 14 of the ICCPR, which stipulate that all judicial decisions
must be delivered in open court.
133. Consequently, the Court orders the Respondent State, within three months
from the date of notification, to publish this judgment on the websites of the
Judiciary and the Ministry of Justice, and to ensure that the text of the
Judgment remains accessible for at least one year after the date of
publication.
ii. Implementation and reporting
134. The Parties do not make specific prayers in respect of implementation and
reporting.
***
135. However, the justification provided earlier in respect of the Court’s decision
to order publication of the judgment equally applies to implementation and
reporting. The Court also notes that the order relating to reporting on the
measures taken by a Respondent State is a matter of judicial practice.26
136. The Court therefore finds it appropriate to order the Respondent State to
submit to it, within six months of notification of this Judgment, periodic
reports on the implementation thereof, indicating the measures taken to
comply with this Judgment, in accordance with Article 30 of the Protocol.
