VIII. REPARATIONS 144. 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.” 145. As per the Court’s jurisprudence, for reparations to be granted, the Respondent State should first be responsible for the wrongful act. Second, causation should be established between the wrongful act and the alleged prejudice. Furthermore, where granted, reparations should cover the full damage suffered. 146. The Court reiterates that the onus is on the Applicant to provide evidence in support of his/her allegation.43 With regard to moral damages, the Court has consistently held that it is presumed and that the requirement of proof is not strict.44 147. The Court also restates 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, considering the circumstances of each case.45 148. As this Court has earlier found, the Respondent State violated the Applicant’s right to legal representation and his right to dignity, guaranteed under Article 7(1)(c) of the Charter as read together with Article 14(3)(d) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 5 of the 43 Kennedy Gihana and Others v.
