4 imply the objective reduction of freedom and the loss of a value which cannot pass unnoticed from the observation of this Court"11. 16. The project of life encompasses fully the ideal of the American Declaration of 1948 of proclaiming the spiritual development as the supreme end and the highest expression of human existence. The damage to the project of life threatens, ultimately, the very meaning which each human person attributes to her existence. When this occurs, a damage is caused to what is most intimate in the human being: this is a damage endowed with an autonomy of its own, which affects the spiritual meaning of life. 17. The whole chapter of reparations for violations of human rights ought to, in our view, be reassessed from the perspective of the integrality of the personality of the victim, bearing in mind her realization as a human being and the restauration of her dignity. The present Judgment of reparations in the Loayza Tamayo case, in recognizing the existence of the damage to the project of life linked to the satisfaction, among other measures of reparation, takes a correct and reassuring step in this direction, which, we trust, will be object of further jurisprudential development in the future.
