Access to Justice and Electoral Integrity
Adequate, effective and prompt reparation for damage suffered;
Adequate, effective and prompt reparation is intended to promote justice
by redressing violations of human rights linked to political and electoral
participation. Reparation should be proportional to the severity of the
violations and the damage suffered. This stage requires the satisfaction of
two criteria:
•
Restitution should, whenever possible, restore the stakeholder to
the original situation before the violations of their human rights law.
Restitution includes, as appropriate: restoration of liberty, enjoyment
of human rights, identity, family life, and restoration of employment
and restitution of a candidacy.
•
Compensation should be provided for any economically assessable
damage, as appropriate and proportional to the gravity of the
violation and the circumstances of each case.
Access to relevant information concerning violations and reparation mechanisms.
•
This entails the effective and open dissemination by States of information about all available judicial remedies which is accessible in
clear and simple language for all stakeholders.
