VIII. REPARATIONS
100. The Applicant prays the Court to restore his right to a fair trial and his right
to property. He further prays the Court to order the Respondent State to:
a.
Pecuniary reparation:
i.
Pay him the sum of CFAF One Million (1,000,000) as reparation for
material prejudice.
ii.
Pay him the sum of CFAF Five Billion (5,000,000,000) as reparation
for moral prejudice.
b.
Order the Respondent State to pay all the amounts awarded in the
judgment within six (6) months of delivery, failing which the Respondent
State shall pay default interest based on the applicable rate of the
Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO), throughout the period of
delay and until full payment of the sums due.
101. The Respondent State emphasises that it did not cause the Applicant any
harm.
102. It therefore prays the Court to dismiss the Applicant’s prayer for reparation.

103. Article 27(1) of the Protocol provides:
“[i]f the Court finds that there has been a violation of a human or
peoples’ right, it shall make appropriate orders to remedy the violation,
including the payment of fair compensation or reparation”.
104. The Court recalls that it has found no violation of the Applicant’s right to a
fair trial. His requests for reparations are therefore unwarranted, and the
Court accordingly dismisses them.
