The Court notes that though the Applicant has not made any submissions in support of the contention that Article 1 of the Charter was violated by the Respondent State, the Court will however exercise its discretion to consider whether this Article has been violated. Article 1 of the Charter places responsibility on all States Parties to take legislative and other measures to ensure that rights in the Charter are respected. 66. In the instant case, the Court has found the Respondent State in violation of several rights contained in the Charter, which means that the Respondent State did not take measures to ensure that the rights in the Charter are respected. The violation of the abovementioned rights therefore brings about the concurrent violation of Article 1 of the Charter. The Court therefore finds that the Respondent State has violated the provisions of Article 1 of the Charter. ISSUE NO 4 67. Whether in the light of the facts and evidence adduced the Applicant is entitled to the reliefs sought. It is an established principle recognised in international law, which has been reiterated by the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, that when a State has violated the rights of an individual as enshrined in the Charter, it should “take measures to ensure that the victims of human rights abuses are given effective remedies including restitution and compensation.” See Communications 279/03 and 296/05 Sudan Human Rights Organisation and Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions (COHRE) v Sudan, Twenty Eighth Activity Report: November 2009-May 2010 para 229 (d); Reverend 30
