sufficiently specified. This was the case in the decision in the case of Kenneth Good v. Botswana, where the Commission stated that “The compensation should include but not be limited to remuneration and benefits he lost … and legal costs he incurred during litigation in domestic courts and before the African Commission.”45 It is also clear that the quantum of monetary compensation is left to the domestic courts.46 136. The facts allow the Commission to observe that the domestic procedures lasted more than four years before the Commission was seized in May 2005. In all, at the date of this decision by the Commission, 10 years have elapsed, during which period the Complainant must have invested significant resources in the process, including procedural expenses. This is evidenced by the fact that the Complainant has been represented by a lawyer throughout the proceedings both in his country and before the Commission. 137. Under Rule 112 (2) of the Commission’s Rules of Procedure, in the event of a decision against a State Party, the parties shall inform the Commission in writing, within one hundred and eighty (180) days, of all measures, if any, taken or being taken by the State Party to implement the decision of the Commission. Decision of the Commission The Commission, For these reasons, 138. Declares that the Democratic Republic of Congo has violated the provisions of Articles 3, 7 (1) (a) and 7 (1) (c) of the African Charter.
