*** 169. With respect to the principle of reparation, the Respondent State submits that a request for reparation must fulfil three main conditions, these being, a deliberate or negligent failure of the State to comply with its international human rights obligations, a recognised harm suffered as a result of the failure and a direct injury to the Applicant. Comparing the present case to that of Norbert Zongo,51 the Respondent State avers that no reparation should be ordered in the instant matter because there is no link between the wrongful act and the prejudice suffered, as agents of the Respondent State were not implicated. 170. The Respondent State also alleges that there is no evidence of victimhood in this case given that the Applicant is not a victim of deliberate actions or negligence of the Respondent State. The Respondent State avers that domestic courts had sufficient evidence to show that the Applicant was involved in the crime, and his conviction and detention were as a result of his actions and the operation of domestic law. According to the Respondent State, such facts cannot be considered to have led to mental damage, emotional suffering and loss of earnings. 171. Regarding the victimhood of relatives, the Respondent State acknowledges the Court's finding in the Zonga case, but submits that the finding cannot apply in the instant case because the Applicant caused the deceased's death as established by domestic courts; he is serving a sentence for a crime he committed; and his acts as a dependant of the deceased among many others have caused the direct heirs of the deceased including a son to suffer emotionally, psychologically and financially. 172. With respect to the claims of long imprisonment following an unfair trial and emotional anguish during trial and imprisonmeht, the Respondent State alleges that they should be dismissed since the domestic processes followed fair trial requirements, and anguish was as a result of the Applicant's guilt. 51 Norbert Zanga and Others v.
