Regarding the requirement that any victim requesting support must “lack
sufficient economic resources”, Mrs. Feria Tinta did not submit, together with her
request, any evidence of her own lack of resources or that of the other two people
mentioned in her brief of July 13, 2013. However, the Acting President considers that
Mrs. Feria Tinta’s lack of resources was demonstrated in evidence provided for an
order issued in October 2012 in another case regarding Peru.
15.
The Acting President considers that her application also complies with the
requirement that any support requested must be used to cover reasonable and
necessary expenses to appear at a hearing on monitoring compliance summoned by
the Court. Mrs. Feria Tinta requested limited and specific financial assistance to appear
at the private hearing to be held by the Court on August 19, 2013 at its seat (supra
Having Seen 4 and Considering para. 3). Given that Mrs. Feria Tinta represents the
majority of the victims and relatives in this case, the Acting President considers it
reasonable to grant assistance, both for the appearance of Mrs. Feria Tinta, and for the
appearance of one of the two persons specified by Mrs. Feria Tinta (supra Considering
para. 3). The Acting President also takes into account the explanation provided by Mrs.
Feria Tinta that, because she lives in England, she has been unable to participate in
the domestic procedures in Peru at this stage of monitoring compliance with judgment
and that these procedures have been carried out by the other victim and by a relative
of a victim who live in Peru.
16.
Based on the foregoing, the Acting President considers admissible the request
of Mrs. Feria Tinta and orders that financial resources from the Legal Assistance Fund
be assigned to cover the travel and board and lodging expenses necessary to enable
Mrs. Feria Tinta, and one of the two individuals mentioned in the request, to appear
before the Court on August 19, 2013 at the private hearing on monitoring compliance
with judgment in this case. Mrs. Feria Tinta shall provide the name of the victim or
relative who shall receive assistance from the Fund, no later than August 2, 2013.
17.
The Court shall take the pertinent and necessary measures to cover the costs of
travel, board and lodging of the persons summoned to appear with resources from the
Assistance Fund.
18.
In accordance with Article 4 of the Rules of the Court on the Operation of the
Assistance Fund, the Secretariat shall open a file of costs in order to record all
expenditures made in relation to said Fund.
19.
Finally, the Acting President recalls that, pursuant to Article 5 of the Rules of
the Assistance Fund, Peru shall be notified, in due course, of the expenditures made
from said Fund, so that it may submit any observations, if it so wishes, within the term
established for that purpose. The Court shall then decide whether it is appropriate to
order the State to reimburse the Assistance Fund for the expenditures incurred.
THEREFORE:
THE ACTING PRESIDENT OF THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS
IN THIS CASE,
in the exercise of his authority in relation to the Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund, and in
