140. In view of the foregoing, the Court deems it necessary to order the Respondent State to report on the implementation of this judgment in accordance with Article 30 of the Protocol. The report should detail the steps taken by the Respondent State to remove the impugned provision from its Penal Code. 141. The Court further notes that the Respondent State has not provided any information on the implementation of its judgments in any of the earlier cases where it was ordered to repeal the mandatory death penalty and the deadlines that the Court set have since lapsed. In view of this fact, the Court still considers that the orders are warranted both as an individual protective measure and as a general restatement of the obligation and urgency behoving on the Respondent State to remove the mandatory death penalty and provide alternatives thereto. The Court holds, therefore, that the Respondent State is under an obligation to report on the steps taken to implement this judgment within six months from the date of notification of this judgment. IX. COSTS 142. In their submissions, both Parties prayed the Court to order that the other Party bears the costs. *** 143. Pursuant to Rule 32(2) of the Rules, “unless otherwise decided by the Court, each Party shall bear its own costs”. 144. In the instant case, the Court does not find any reason for departing from its established practice and thus orders that each Party will bear its own costs. 33
