Environment at all its ports, and to confer on them the power to inspect
waste on board ships, as is done by representatives of the Ministry of
Transport.

253. The Court notes that in addition to the prayers on reparations considered
earlier, the administrative measures sought by the Applicants under this
section fall squarely within the government’s competence and it is therefore
appropriate to examine them separately.
254. The Court considers that the Applicants’ action before it will help to
enhance the Respondent State’s capacity to deal with such violations more
effectively in the future. The Court, therefore, orders the Respondent State
to implement structural reforms with a view to boost waste treatment
capacity at the port of Abidjan.
255. The Court also orders the Respondent State to ensure the presence of one
or more representatives of the Ministry of Environment at all its ports, with
power to monitor waste removal from ships.
v. Publication
256. The Applicants pray the Court to order the Respondent State to ensure that
the Court’s decision is published in the national print and electronic media
outlets and on an official government website where it will remain
accessible for a period of one year from the date of service of this
Judgment.
