ii. Rehabilitation measures 236. The Applicants request the Court to order, as reparation, the provision of medical assistance to the victims, in particular, for the treatment of new symptoms and chronic diseases caused by toxic waste. They also pray for the establishment of adequate health facilities, with qualified staff and appropriate equipment, so that health care can be provided with a view to improving the health of toxic waste victims. * 237. The Respondent State did not submit on this point. *** 238. The Court notes that in the present case, the victims are in urgent need of medical assistance in the form of health and psychological care to be provided by the Respondent State. This measure, which would have been of greater use immediately after the waste dumping, is no less important at the time of the present judgment, given that the consequences of the violations have continued over time. 239. The Court, therefore, orders the Respondent State to ensure that the victims receive adequate and appropriate medical and psychological assistance. iii. Guarantees of Non-Repetition 240. The Applicants pray the Court to order the Respondent State to implement legislative and regulatory reforms outlawing the import and dumping of hazardous waste. They also request the Court to order the Respondent State to hold companies accountable for the protection of human rights and the environment. 58
