Rule 63 of the Rules of Court allows the Court to:
“… rule on the request for the reparation, submitted in accordance
with Rule 34(5) of these Rules, by the same decision establishing
the violation of a human and peoples’ right or, if the circumstances
so require, by a separate decision.”
The 2nd Applicant in his prayer reserved his right to elaborate on his
claim for compensation and reparation. He has not done so nor did the
parties address the Court on this issue. As a result, the Court cannot in
this judgment make a pronouncement on compensation and reparation.
The Court decides to call upon the 2nd Applicant, if he so wishes, to
exercise his rights in this regard.
Costs
125.
The 1st Applicants prayed the Court to order that the Respondent
pay their costs. The Respondent prayed that the Court orders the
Applicants to pay its costs.
The Court notes that Rule 30 of the Rules of Court states that “[U]nless
otherwise decided by the Court, each party shall bear its own costs.”
Taking into account all the circumstances of this case, the Court is of the
view that there is no reason to depart from the provisions of this Rule.
