Respondent States to report on the implementation of its decisions within a specified time.® 55. The Court notes that such reports assist it in fulfilling its obligation of reporting on States’ non-compliance with its judgments, especially since it does not have its own enforcement mechanism. 56. The Court also observes that according to Article 3(1) of the Protocol: The jurisdiction of the Court shall extend to ail cases and disputes submitted to it concerning the interpretation and application of the Charter, this Protocol and any other relevant Human Rights instrument ratified by the States concerned.” [Emphasis added] 57. Accordingly, the Protocol does not make a distinction between the type of cases or disputes submitted to the Court, as long as it concerns the application and interpretation of any of the instruments listed in Article 3 of the Protocol. In the instant case, a dispute is submitted to the Court concerning the application and interpretation of Article 30 of the Protocol, an instrument clearly listed in Article 3 of the Protocol. 58. Furthermore, the Court notes that Article 30 of the Protocol explicitly imposes an obligation on States to comply with its judgments. In fact, it considers that this obligation constitutes the conditio sine qua non of any international litigation. It is the existence of this duty that distinguishes international judicial mechanisms from quasi-judicial mechanisms that are not authorised to issue binding decisions. In other words, the Court distinguishes itself from other mechanisms that do not have the authority to make decisions that carry an explicit obligation of compliance with their decisions. 6 See, for example, Tanganyika Law Society, Legal and Human Rights ChristopherR Mtikila v.
