154. The Respondent State did not specifically address this prayer.
***
155. The justification provided earlier in respect of the Court’s decision to order
publication of the judgment is equally applicable in respect of
implementation and reporting. The Court notes that reporting on
implementation of its judgments has now been established in its practices.
Specifically in relation to the time within which to report, the Court notes that
in its previous judgments the Respondent State was directed to implement
the decisions within one year of issuance of the same.80 In subsequent
judgments, the Court has granted the Respondent State a period of six
months to implement the same order.81
156. The Court holds, therefore, that the Respondent State is under an obligation
to report on the steps taken to implement this judgment within six months
from the date of notification of this judgment.

157. Although the Applicant does not make an express prayer in respect of costs,
