failed to honour its commitment under Article 2(3) to ensure that its citizens, whose rights and freedoms were violated, including the right to a fair trial and the right to reparation as protected in the ICCPR, are afforded an effective remedy to redress the harm suffered, and that the matter be brought before a competent authority to rule thereon. ii. Find that the procedure initiated in 2001 to recover his rights following a labour dispute is unduly prolonged and that it is therefore difficult to obtain a final judgment in the case in 2018 and, similarly, it is unlikely that a final judgment will be obtained in 2019; iii. Find that the Respondent State violated Articles 14(1) of the ICCPR; iv. Hold that by virtue of Article 2(3) of the ICCPR, the Respondent State is under an obligation to provide an effective and enforceable remedy for violations of the provisions of the Covenant and, therefore, that the Respondent State is under an obligation to provide full reparation and adequate compensation for the harm suffered as a result of the violation of Articles 2(3) and 14(1) of the ICCPR; v. Find that in the second case relating to the complaint regarding the seizure of his vehicle, there was a plethora of remedies that were not effective and constitute a violation of Article 8 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and that by refusing to hear his petition against the Director General of National Police, the Constitutional Court of Benin also violated Article 8 of the UDHR; vi.

Hold that the Respondent State violated Article 17 of the UDHR and Article 14 of the Charter as regards his commercial vehicle; ix. Find that as regards the third petition relating to the attempted murder of his father, he filed a complaint with the public prosecutor in June 2006 after the armed attack on his father in 2004 and that he sent a copy of the complaint to the sitting President of the Republic of Benin in June 2006; 5
