On its part, the Respondent State prays the Court to dismiss the Applicant’s prayers for reparations in their entirety on the grounds that they are baseless since the Court has no jurisdiction to quash and set aside the conviction. *** 149. The Court notes that Article 27(1) of the Protocol stipulates that “[lf] the Court finds that there has been violation of a human or peoples' right, it shall make appropriate orders to remedy the violation, including the payment of fair compensation or reparation.” 150.
