9 36. As the word indicates, reparation consists in the measures that are intended to eliminate the effects of the violations that were committed. Their nature and amount depend on the damage caused at both the pecuniary and the non-pecuniary level. Reparations are not supposed to enrich or impoverish the victim or his heirs12. 37. The reparations established in this judgment must be consistent with the violations found in the judgment on merits delivered by the Court on September 29, 1999 (supra 3). VI BENEFICIARIES 38. In the instant case, Gustavo Adolfo Cesti Hurtado is evidently the victim. In its judgment of September 29, 1999, the Court declared that the State violated several of his rights embodied in the Convention (supra 3); therefore, he merits the compensation that the Court determines in his favor. 39. However, in his brief of March 2, 2000, Mr. Cesti also requested the Court to compensate his wife, children, mother-in-law and father for non-pecuniary damage, as they had been affected by the violations of his fundamental rights for more than three years. 40. The Court recognizes that the violations that have been established must have produced prejudices of various kinds within the victim’s household and, consequently, his nearest next of kin may have the right to receive compensation, provided this is in relation to the violations that were declared in the judgment on merits and provided that it complies with the requirements established in the jurisprudence of this Court. VII PROVEN FACTS 41. To determine the measures of reparation that are in order in this case, the Court will base itself on the facts that were considered proven in its judgment of September 29, 1999. Moreover, as it has been indicated, the victim and the State have contributed new evidence to the file that is relevant for determining the measures of reparation. The Court has examined this evidence and the arguments of the parties and declares the following facts proven in relation to Mr. Cesti: a) he was 45 years of age at the time of his detention13; b) at the time of his detention, he was the general manager and legal representative of the insurance company, Top Security Asesores and 12 Cf.
