The Respondent State prays that the court dismisses the Application and make any orders it deems necessary. '143. The Court notes that an individual's identity and sense of belonging is intrinsically tied to the social, physical and political connections that they have with their country of origin. The Court further notes that the arbitrary revocation of the Applicants' passports resulted in the violations found against the Applicants. Since 14 May ZO12 when the said passports were arbitrarily revoked, the Applicants have been unable to leave their country of residence and to travel back to their country of origin and to other countries. This has adversely affected the aforementioned connections that the Applicants had with their country of origin. The Court finds that this caused them emotional anguish and despair, occasioning them moral prejudice, therefore this entitles them to reparation. 31- /d
