Having regard to the final judgment transmitted by the Court to the Committee in this case and to the violation of Article 3 of the Convention on account of lack of adequate medical care and incompatibility of the conditions of the applicant’s detention with his health;
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:
