It is in light of these findings and principles that the Court will consider the Applicants’ claims for reparation. A. Material prejudice 123. The Applicants pray the Court to grant them reparation for material damage as follows: (i) compensation for the loss of customary rights plus statutory interest; (ii) pecuniary reparation; (iii) costs in respect of domestic proceedings; (iv) costs of executing court decisions; and (v) experts’ fees. i. Compensation for loss of customary rights and statutory interest 124. The Applicants pray the Court to order the Respondent State to pay them the net sum of Eight Hundred and Twelve Million Four Hundred and EightyEight Thousand (812,488,000) CFA Francs for the loss of customary rights, which was awarded to them by the Court of Appeal of Abidjan in 2007 and confirmed by the Supreme Court in 2009. 125.
