Respondent State argues that the Applicant, apart from requesting an order for his acquittal and compensation, he has not proved violation of his rights and any loss or damage suffered as a result of such violation. Accordingly, the Respondent State submits that the Court should not award the reparations requested by the Applicant. *** 121. Article 27(1) of the Protocol provides that: If the Court finds that there has been violation of a human or peoples’ rights, it shall make appropriate orders to remedy the violation, including the payment of fair compensation or reparation. 122. The Court has consistently held that for reparations to be granted, the Respondent State should first be internationally responsible for the wrongful act. Second, causation should be established between the wrongful act and the alleged prejudice. Furthermore, and where it is granted, reparation should cover the full damage suffered.40 123. The Court reiterates that the onus is on the Applicant to provide evidence to justify his prayers, particularly for material damages.41 With regard to moral damages, the Court has held that the requirement of proof is not strict,42 since it is presumed that there is prejudice caused when violations are established.43 40 Ally Rajabu and Others v.
