494. The State had the opportunity to submit its comments on the outlays made in this case,
totaling USD 1,685.36 (one thousand eight hundred eighty-five United States dollars and
thirty-five cents). Peru recognized that the itemization of expenditures as presented had been
certified by the Court Registrar and therefore was sufficiently reliable. Moreover, these outlays
were consistent with the terms of the orders by the President of the Court on August 28, 2012
and December 19, 2013. The State recalled, however, that before ordering a State to
reimburse the fund for expenditures incurred, the Court must first verify that the particular
case does entail violations of the American Convention, which in the State’s view, had not
occurred in the instant case.
495. In view of the violations declared in this judgment, which are consistent with the
requirements for using the fund, the Court orders the State to reimburse the fund the amount
of USD 1,685.36 (one thousand six hundred eighty-five United States dollars and thirty-five
cents) to cover expenditures incurred for an expert witness to appear at the public hearing on
the instant case and to formalize and send two affidavits. This amount should be paid within
90 days of the date of notification of this judgment.
G.

effect in the Central Bank of Peru the day prior to the payment.

fees shall be disbursed in their entirety to the organizations named, as ordered in this
judgment, with no deductions for possible fiscal fees.
