violated the Current Applicants’ right to assemble freely contrary to Article 11 of the African Charter. REPARATIONS 87.It is a fundamental principle of international human rights law that every right violated by a State obliges reparation. Were it not so, as observed by the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, the “rights guaranteed by the African Charter would be an empty proclamation if it was not backed by the guarantee of a right to restitution or compensation in the event of violation’. http://www.Achpr.Org/Communications/Decision/302.05/. 88.In the instant case, the Court has held that there was a violation of the Applicants’ rights to assembly consequently the Respondent has an obligation to provide reparation accordingly. 89.Reparations is an overarching term that covers all types of measures a court or human rights body may order, or a State may take, to remedy the harm caused by a violation. Such remedies should attempt to restore the victim to the original situation before the harm and/or compensate him/her for damage suffered. 90.This Court summed it up when it held “A State must make full reparations for any injury caused by an illegal act for which it is internationally responsible. Reparation consists of full restitution of the original situation if possible; compensation where it is not possible or satisfactory that is, acknowledgement of or an apology for the breach, may contribute immensely to resolving wounds from the violation.” MOUKHTAR IBRAHIM V.
