71 Arguments of the State 116. The State indicated that: a) The Court should consider that the fact that the victims’ next of kin were able to give testimony freely, in order to be heard and achieve the access to justice that had been denied to them for several years is a form of non-pecuniary reparation; b) It recognizes the complexity of repairing the damage materially and restoring the violated rights; consequently, it adopts a positive attitude towards the means of non-pecuniary reparation and of restoring the honor of the victims proposed by the Commission and the representatives, and c) It recognizes and appreciates the efforts made by the next of kin of Jorge Carpio Nicolle and the other victims in the case to establish the truth of the facts and seek justice. Considerations of the Court 117. International case law has established repeatedly that the judgment constitutes, per se, a form of reparation.129 However, owing to the circumstances of the case sub judice, the sufferings that the facts caused to the persons who have been declared victims in this case, the changes in their living conditions, and the other consequences of a non-pecuniary nature they have suffered, the Court considers that it is pertinent to pay a compensation, in fairness, for non-pecuniary damage.130 118. Bearing in mind the different aspects of the damage adduced by the Commission and the representatives, and applying the preceding assumptions, the Court establishes, in fairness, the value of the compensation for non-pecuniary damage, in the terms indicated in the table that appears below (infra para. 120), using the following parameters: a) To establish the compensation for non-pecuniary damage suffered by Messrs. Carpio Nicolle, Villacorta Fajardo, Ávila Guzmán and Rivas González, the Court recalls that they were executed extra-legally in circumstances of extreme cruelty (supra para. 76(21) and 76(22)), so that it is evident that they endured pain and suffering before they died; b) When determining the compensation corresponding to Sydney Shaw Díaz, it must be recalled that he suffered cruel treatment and that, at the time of the facts, he was a minor, so that he was especially vulnerable when, in a state of complete defenselessness, he was shot several times and then left abandoned on the highway (supra para. 76(22) and 76(83)). These circumstances evidently caused him terror and anguish; 129 Cf.
