2018, with thirty (30) day extensions on 27 September 2018, 20 December 2018, and 15 February 2019 respectively. 104. In the instant case, the Court has established that the Respondent State did not violate any of the Applicant’s rights as alleged. 105. In view of the foregoing, the Applicant’s prayers for reparations are dismissed. IX. ON THE REQUEST FOR PROVISIONAL MEASURES 106. The Court recalls that the Applicant prayed for provisional measures “due to extreme gravity on account of his being on death row”. The Respondent State did not respond to this prayer. 107. The Court holds that this decision on the merits renders the request for provisional measures moot. Consequently, it is no longer necessary to rule on the request for provisional measures. X. COSTS 108. The Applicant did not make specific prayers as to costs. 109. The Respondent State prays that the Court orders the Applicant to bear the costs of the Application. *** 110. In terms of Rule 32(2) of the Rules, “[u]nless otherwise decided by the Court, each party shall bear its own costs, if any.” 111. The Court orders that, in the circumstances of this case, each Party shall bear its own costs. 27
