VIII. REPARATIONS 66. The Applicant prays the Court to order the Respondent State to quash his conviction and sentence; order his release, grant him reparations to the tune of Tanzanian Shillings Two Hundred and Eighty-eight Million (TZS 288,000,000); and grant any other remedy that it deems fit. 67. The Respondent State prays the Court to dismiss the Applicant’s prayer for reparations. *** 68. Article 27(1) of the Protocol provides that: If the Court finds that there has been violation of a human or peoples’ rights, it shall make appropriate orders to remedy the violation, including the payment of fair compensation or reparation. 69. In the instant case, given that no violation has been found, the consideration of the prayer for reparation is no longer warranted. The Court, therefore, dismisses the Applicant’s prayer for reparations. IX. COSTS 70. The Respondent State prays the Court to order the Applicant to bear the costs of the application. The Applicant did not make a prayer on costs. *** 71. The Court notes that Rule 32(2) of its Rules provides that “unless otherwise decided by the Court, each party shall bear its own costs, if any.” 72. The Court finds no reason to depart from this provision. Consequently, it rules that each party shall bear its own costs. 16
