alterations in their living conditions. On the other hand, since it is not possible to assign a precise monetary equivalent to non-pecuniary damages, the victims, to be integrally repaired, can only be compensated by a monetary payment or by the assignment of goods or services that can be assessed monetarily, as prudently determined by the Court, applying judicial discretion and the principle of equity”.191 172. In consideration of the circumstances of the instant case, the violations committed, the suffering caused and experienced to different degrees, the time that has elapsed and the denial of justice, the Court fixes in equity the compensation for non-pecuniary damage in favor of the victims. 173. Accordingly, the Court orders, in equity, the payment of the sum of US$ 10,000 (ten thousand United States dollars) to each of the victims in this case, that is, to Mr. Rodríguez Revolorio, Mr. López Calo and Mr. Archila Pérez. 174. With respect to the compensation for Mr. López Calo, the amount established by the Court shall be paid within one year of notification of this Judgment in accordance with the following criteria: a) Fifty percent (50%) of the compensation shall be paid to the Mr. López Calo’s wife, Mrs. Mirian Floridalma Osorio García de López. b) The remaining fifty percent (50%) of the compensation shall be paid to the children Jeennley Yanira López Osorio, Alex Fernando López Osorio and Yazmi Lisbeth López Osorio. 175. With respect to the compensation for Mr. Archila Pérez, the amount established by the Court shall be paid within one year of notification of this Judgment in accordance with the following criteria: a) Fifty percent (50%) of the compensation shall be paid to Mr. Archila Pérez’s wife, Mrs. Irma Morales Morataya de Archila. b) The remaining fifty percent (50%) of the compensation shall be paid in equal parts to the children Sendy Mabelly Archila Morales, Yoselin Edith Archila Morales, Aníbal Estuardo Archila Morales, Irma Yazmin Archila Morales and Yeremi Yanira Archila González. G. Costs and Expenses 176. In their final arguments, the representatives requested the Court to order the State to reimburse the expenses incurred before the authorities of the domestic jurisdiction and those incurred before the Inter-American system based on the principle of equity. 177. The State alleges that the representatives have not reliably demonstrated the expenses incurred during the litigation, and therefore rejects these measures and requests that they be declared inadmissible. 178. The Commission did not take a position on the matter. 179. The Court reiterates that, in accordance with its case law,192 costs and expenses form part of the concept of reparation as long as the activities deployed by the victims to obtain justice, at both Cf.
