Having regard to the final judgment transmitted by the Court to the Committee in this case and to the violation established concerning the authorities’ failure to place the applicant, who had been sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment, and suffering from a chronic psychotic illness, in a psychiatric hospital or a prison equipped with a specialist psychiatric department where he could receive constant monitoring and medical treatment suited to the prison environment;
Recalling the respondent State’s obligation, under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention, to abide by all final judgments in cases to which it has been a party and that this obligation entails, over and above the payment of any sums awarded by the Court, the adoption by the authorities of the respondent State, where required:
