120. The Court notes from the record that the Applicant did not specify the provisional measures that he requests. In any event, the Court holds that this decision on the merits renders the request for provisional measures moot. Consequently, it is no longer necessary to rule on the request for provisional measures. X. COSTS 121. The Applicant prays that the costs of this Application be borne by the Respondent State. 122. The Respondent State prays that costs be borne by the Applicant. *** 123. The Court notes that Rule 32(2)42 of the Rules of Court provides that: “unless otherwise decided by the Court, each party shall bear its own costs, if any”. 124. The Court does not find any justification to depart from the above provisions in the circumstances of the case, and therefore rules that each Party shall bear its own costs. XI. OPERATIVE PART 125. For these reasons: THE COURT, 42 Rule 30(2) of the Rules of Court, 2 June 2010. 30
