A. Pecuniary reparations i. Material prejudice 94. The Applicant claims pecuniary reparations for material prejudice, the amount of which is to be considered and assessed by this Court according to the period the Applicant spent in custody and the national ratio of the annual income of a citizen of the Respondent State. * 95. The Respondent State submits that this claim for pecuniary reparations has no basis, as the Applicant has not established the nexus between the alleged violations and the harm he suffered. *** 96. The Court notes that for reparations for material prejudice to be granted, 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.33 97. In the instant case, the Court notes that the Applicant has not established the link between the violation found and the alleged pecuniary harm. Rather, the Applicant’s claims are directly linked to his conviction and incarceration, which this Court did not find unlawful. 98. The Court, consequently, dismisses the Applicant’s claims for pecuniary reparations for material prejudice. 33 Kijiji Isiaga v.
