149. The Court recalls that any prayer for reparation must be linked to the violation of a human right established by the Court.

Accordingly, the prayer for payment of the expert’s fees is dismissed. vi. Loss of investment opportunity 151. The Applicants argue that if they had actually received the sum of Eight Hundred and Twelve Million Four Hundred and Eighty-eight Thousand (812,488,000) CFA Francs in 2007, they would have invested it in various profitable ventures, such as real estate projects, on the remaining ten (10) hectares of their land. It is the Applicants’ contention that this sum would have constituted a good financial basis for their banks to trust them with substantial loans to fund large-scale real estate projects. The Applicants further contend that the Respondent State’s bad faith caused them to miss out on that opportunity. They therefore pray the Court to grant them the sum of Two Billion (2,000,000,000) CFA Francs as reparation for the harm resulting from this loss of opportunity. * 152. The Respondent State submits that regarding the payment of the sum of Eight Hundred and Twelve Million Four Hundred and Eighty-eight Thousand (812,488,000) CFA Francs, the Applicants have already carried out a seizure-attachment of AGEF’s accounts and that it is in no way concerned by the unsuccessful outcome of the seizure. The Respondent State prays the Court to dismiss the Applicants’ prayer. *** 36
