Applicant is, therefore, entitled to reparations commensurate with the
established violations.
65. The Court notes that the Applicants’ prayers relate to both pecuniary and
non-pecuniary reparations.
A. Pecuniary reparations
i.
Material prejudice
66. The Court recalls that for it to grant reparations for material prejudice, there
must be a causal link between the violation established by the Court and
the prejudice caused and there should be a specification of the nature of the
prejudice and proof thereof. 24 Further, this Court has held that an Applicant
bears the burden of providing evidence to support his/her claims for material
prejudice.25
67. In the instant case, the Applicant simply prays the Court to grant reparations
to the extent that the Court deems fit. In any event, he does not support his
prayers with proof of the loss incurred.
68. In the circumstances, the Court, therefore, does not grant reparation for
material prejudice to the Applicant.
ii. Moral prejudice
69. While not specifically referring to moral prejudice, the Applicant prays for
the Court to order the Respondent State to pay reparations in such amount
as the Court deems fit.
