64 184. Based on the foregoing, the Court finds that it is fair to grant the victim a compensation of US$20,000,00 (twenty thousand United States dollars) for moral damages. 185. Regarding the Commission’s request to order Peru to adopt the necessary legislative and administrative measures to avoid a repetition of events of the same nature in the future, it is a well known public fact that the State has already taken steps to this end (supra note 72), so that the Court finds that it does not need to take a decision in that regard. * * * 186. The Court considers that States Parties have the obligation to prevent, investigate, identify and punish the masterminds and accessories to human rights violations113. Based on this obligation, the State has the obligation to avoid and combat impunity, which has been defined as “the overall lack of investigation, tracking down, capture, prosecution and conviction of those responsible for violating the rights protected by the American Convention114”. 187. Consequently, Peru should investigate the facts that resulted in the violations established in this judgment in order to identify and punish those responsible. * * * 188. With regard to the expenses and costs in this case, the Court considers that it is appropriate to recall, as has been stated on other occasions 115, that it must evaluate prudently the specific scope of the costs, taking into account not only their justification and the circumstances of the concrete case, but also the nature of the international jurisdiction for the protection of human rights and the characteristics of the respective proceeding, which has its own distinctive character that differs from that of other proceedings of a national or international nature, and observing the standards established by this Court in the resolution of other cases. 189. To this effect, the Court considers that it is fair to grant the victim the amount of US$50,000.00 (fifty thousand United States dollars) in reimbursement of the costs and expenses incurred in the domestic and the international jurisdictions. 190. In accordance with its usual practice, this Court reserves to itself the authority to monitor full compliance with this judgment. The case will be closed once the State has fully complied with the provisions of this judgment. XVII DECISIONS 113 Cf. Constitutional Court, supra note 8, para. 123; and Blake case.
