VIII. REPARATIONS 107. The Court notes that Article 27(1) of the Protocol stipulates that “[i]f the Court finds that there has been violation of a human or peoples’ right, it shall make appropriate orders to remedy the violation, including the payment of fair compensation or reparation”. 108. In line with the Court’s jurisprudence, for reparations to be granted, the Respondent State should first be found liable for an internationally wrongful act and a causal link must be established between the wrongful act and the harm alleged. Furthermore, where it is granted, reparation should cover the full prejudice suffered. 109. The Court reiterates that the onus is on the Applicant to provide evidence in support of her allegation.37 With regard to moral prejudice, the Court has consistently held that it is presumed in case of violation and that the requirement of proof is not strict.38 110. The Court also recalls that the measures that a state can take to remedy a violation of human rights includes restitution, compensation and rehabilitation of the victim, as well as measures to ensure non-repetition of the violations, taking into account the circumstances of each case.39 111. In the present case, the Court has established that the Respondent State violated the independence of the judiciary and the legislature, protected by Article 26 of the Charter. It has also found that the Respondent State violated the principle of separation of powers between the executive and the 45 Kennedy Gihana and others v.
