IX.
COSTS
213. The Applicant prays the Court to order the Respondent State bear the costs.
214. The Respondent State submits that the costs associated with the instant
Application should be borne by the Applicant.
***
215. Rule 32(2) of the Rules of Court stipulate that, “[u]nless otherwise decided
by the Court, each party shall bear its own costs, if any”.67
216. The Court reiterates its jurisprudence that reparations may include legal
costs and other costs incurred in the international proceedings. Further, it is
up to the Applicant to provide justifications and proof any cost incurred. In
the instant case, the Applicant has not done so.
217. The Court thus holds that there is no reason for it to depart from the
provisions of Rule 30 of the Rules and, consequently, rules that each Party
shall bear its own costs.
