|. SUBJECT OF THE APPLICATION 1. In its earlier Judgement of 28 March 2014 on this matter, after finding that the Respondent State had violated Article 1 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (hereinafter referred to as “the Charter’), Articles 7 and 9 (2) of the Charter, the latter read jointly with Article 66 (2) (c) of the Revised Treaty of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Court decided as follows on damages: “6. Defers its ruling on the issue of damages; 7. Orders the Applicants to submit to the Court their Brief on damages within thirty days from the date of this ruling; and also orders the Respondent State to submit to the Court its response on the damages within thirty days after receiving the response of the Applicants”. 2. The present Judgment is therefore in respect of the claims for reparation filed by the Applicants pursuant to the afore-cited Judgment of the Court. According to the Applicants, the claims concern, firstly, the violation of Article 7 of the Charter by the Respondent State, as it had shown no diligence to apprehend, investigate, prosecute and put to trial those responsible for the murder of Norbert Zongo and his three companions. The claims also relate to the violation of Article 9 (2) of the Charter read jointly with Article 66 (c) of the Revised ECOWAS Treaty, to wit, the violation of the right of Burkinabe journalists to freedom of expression, in the sense that “the Respondent State's failure to find and put to trial the assassins of Norbert Zongo caused fear and anxiety in [local] media circles”. It is to be noted, however, that no argument was advanced and no specific application for reparation filed in furtherance of the Brief on Reparations for the aforementioned violation of freedom of expression. The Court will therefore not make any ruling on reparation in this regard.
