ESSONO MIKA MIHA v. EQUATORIAL GUINEA, Comm. No. 414/1990,
para. 6.5; PAUL KELLY v. JAMAICA, Comm. No. 253/1987, para. 5.8).
231. Based on the information presented, the Court finds that the Respondent
violated the Applicant’s right to liberty and security guaranteed by Articles
6, in fine, of the African Charter, 9, paragraph 2 of the ICCPR, and 9 of the
UDHR.
XII – REPARATION
232. The Applicant seeks to be compensated in the symbolic amount of 01
CFA franc for the damage he suffered.
233. The Respondent said nothing in connection with this relief sought.
234. In the instant case, it was established that the Respondent State, through
its agents, violated the Applicant's rights to freedom of opinion liberty and
security, which grants the Applicant the right to reparation, according to the
principle of international law, which establishes that “everyone who is a
victim of a violation of his human rights has the right to fair and equitable
redress”, whereas in terms of human rights violations, full reparation is, as a
rule, impossible. (See Judgment No. ECW/CCJ/JUD/01/06, rendered in the
case DJOT BAYI TALBIA & OTHERS v. FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF
NIGERIA & OTHERS in CCJ ELR ( 2004-2009)).
235. Now, considering the seriousness of the violated rights and their
consequences for the Applicant, making a global and equitable assessment,
the Court attributes to the Applicant, as compensation for immaterial
damages that he suffered in the amount of 1 (one) FCFA, as he claims.
XIV. COSTS
236. The Applicant sought that the Respondent be ordered to pay the costs.
