V. CLAIMS OF DAMAGES 19. Before considering specific claims for compensation, the Court would first like to make a number of preliminary observatio ns of a general nature. A) Preliminary Observations 20. The Court recalls , firstly, that under international law, a country found guilty of an International crime is required to make full reparation for the damage caused. This obligation was stated by the Permanen t Court of International Justice in a dictum in The Factory at Chorz6w case, in the following words: "It is a principle of international law that the breach of an engagement involves an obligation to make reparation In an adequate form Reparation therefore is the indispensable complement of a failure to apply a convention , and there is no necessity for this to be stated in the convention itself. 3 21 . This statement was subseque ntly put in the following words by Article 31 ( 1) of Draft Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts adopted by the International Law Commissi on (ILC) and submitted to the United Nations General Assembly 1n 2001 : "1. The responsible State is under the obligation to make full reparation for the Injury caused by the internationally wrongful act"_. . 22. In the context of the African human rights protection system, this principle is reflected in Article 27 (1) of the 10 June 1998 Protocol establishing this Court, which 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".
