142. In the circumstances, the Court orders the Respondent State to take all necessary measures within one (1) year of the notification of this Judgment, for the rehearing of the case on the sentencing of the Applicant through a procedure that does not allow the mandatory imposition of the death sentence and upholds the discretion of the judicial officer. iii. Implementation and reporting 143. The Court 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. The Court holds, therefore, that the Respondent State is under an obligation to report on the steps taken to implement this judgment within six (6) months from the date of notification of this judgment. iv. Publication 144. None of the parties made any submissions in respect of the publication of this judgment. *** 145. The Court considers, however, that for reasons now firmly established in its practice, and in the peculiar circumstances of this case, publication of this judgment is necessary. The Court also notes that it has not received any indication that necessary measures have been taken for the law to be amended and aligned with the Respondent State’s international human rights obligations. The Court thus finds it appropriate to order publication of this judgment within a period of three (3) months from the date of notification. 37
