America and eighty cents), for expenses incurred by the representatives to attend the public hearing, to which supporting documentation is attached. 127. The Court has indicated that “the claims of the victims or their representatives concerning costs and expenses, and the evidence to support them, must be submitted to the Court at the first procedural occasion granted to them, namely, in the brief of pleadings and motions, notwithstanding the possibility that these claims may be updated subsequently, in keeping with the new costs and expenses that may have been incurred as a result of the proceedings before this Court.” 80 Regarding reimbursement of costs and expenses, the Court must prudently assess the costs, which amounts to the total incurred before domestic authorities, as well as those before the Inter-American System, in consideration of the circumstances of the specific case and the nature of the international jurisdiction for the protection of human rights. This assessment can be made based on the principle of equity and taking into account the expenses indicated by the parties, provided that the quantum is reasonable. 81 128. The Court notes that the representatives did not submit any evidence of the amount that the victims had paid their lawyers in the domestic proceedings or in relation to their participation at the public hearing before this Court. However, the Court may infer that the alleged victims have incurred those costs and, therefore, decides, in equity, for each of them, the sum of U.S.$ 5,000.00 (five thousand dollars of the United States of America) for expenses related to the domestic proceeding and U.S.$2,000.00 (two thousand dollars of the United States of America) for expenses related to their participation in the public hearing. 129. Regarding the request for reimbursement of the expenses listed by the Center for Legal and Social Studies in its capacity as representative in the proceedings before the Inter-American System of Human Rights, the Court orders that the State must pay for costs and expenses the sum of U.S. $7,770.00 (seven thousand, seven hundred and seventy dollars of the United States of America). 130. Lastly, the Court finds that the State shall provide the amounts indicated in the preceding paragraphs to the victims (supra para. 128) and their representatives (supra para. 129). The Court also stated that in the process of monitoring compliance with this Judgment, it may provide for the reimbursement to the victim or their representatives, by the State for the reasonable expenses incurred in this stage of the proceedings. E. Method of compliance with payments ordered 131. The State must make the payment for costs and expenses as well as for compensation of the amounts accumulated as a consequence of the domestic judgment pursuant to that noted (supra 128, 129, and 105), within the period of six months and a year, respectively, as of legal notice of the Judgment, under the terms of the following paragraphs. 80 Cf.
