145 51 Eliécer Martínez Vaca (victim) 52 Uriel Garzón (victim) 53 Ana Beiba Ramírez (victim) 54 Manuel Arévalo (victim) 55 Raúl Morales (victim) B) PECUNIARY DAMAGES Pleadings of the Commission 262. The Commission asked the Court to set the amount of compensation for consequential damages and lost earnings in fairness. In this regard, we must take into account that as a consequence of the loss of their next of kin –who in most cases were the financial mainstay of the family-, the displacement, the persecution and the fear, the next of kin of the victims have suffered significant and decisive pecuniary losses –the assets to which the consequential damages refer were never recovered or, if they were, only precariously-, and they no longer received their customary income, necessary for their subsistence. 263.
