A. Pecuniary reparations i. Material prejudice 185. The Court recalls that for it to grant reparations for material prejudice, there must be a causal link between the violation established by the Court and the prejudice caused and there should be a specification of the nature of the prejudice and proof thereof.60 186. In the instant case, the Applicant simply prayed the Court to grant him reparations in accordance with Article 27 of the Protocol, without specifying the nature of the pecuniary reparations sought. He has not indicated the nature of the material prejudice he suffered and how this is linked with the violation of his rights, particularly, his right to life, right to dignity and the right to a fair trial protected under Articles 4, 5 and 7(1)(d) of the Charter. 187. In the circumstances, the Court therefore does not grant reparations for material prejudice. ii. Moral prejudice 188. The Applicant requests the Court to grant reparations for moral prejudice. The Applicant prays the Court to presume a causal link between the established violations of the Applicant’s rights and any moral harm suffered without additional affirmative evidence. 189. The Respondent State maintains that the Applicant’s conviction and subsequent sentencing were a direct result of his own culpable actions, thereby asserting that he should not be entitled to any form of reparations. *** 60 Kijiji Isiaga v.
