419. The payments corresponding to the reimbursement of costs and expenses
must be made as established in paragraphs 416 and 417 of this judgment.
420. The State must comply with its pecuniary obligations by payment in United
States dollars or the equivalent amount in national currency, using the exchange rate
between the two currencies in force on the New York, United States of America,
market the day prior to payment to make the respective calculation.
421. The amounts allocated in this judgment for compensation for pecuniary and
non-pecuniary damage, and for reimbursement of costs and expenses may not be
affected, reduced or conditioned by current or future taxes or charges. Consequently,
they must be delivered to the beneficiaries integrally, as established in this
judgment.
422. In the case of the compensation ordered in favor of minors, the State shall
deposit it in a solvent Colombian banking institute. The investment must be made
within one year, in United States dollars, and in the most favorable financial
conditions permitted by law and banking practice, until the beneficiaries come of
age. It may be withdrawn by any of them when they come of age or previously, if
this is in the best interests of the child, as established by a decision of a competent
judicial authority. If the compensation has not been claimed 10 years after each child
has come of age, it shall revert to the State with the accrued interest.
423. If, for reasons attributable to the next of kin of the persons disappeared and
deprived of life who are the beneficiaries of the compensation, it is not possible for
them to receive it within the period indicated, the State shall deposit the amount in
their favor in an account or a deposit certificate in a solvent Colombian banking
institute in United States dollars and in the most favorable financial conditions
permitted by law and banking practice. If, after 10 years, the compensation has not
been claimed, it shall revert to the State with the accrued interest.
424. If the State falls into arrears, it shall pay interest on the amount owed,
corresponding to banking interest on arrears in Colombia.
425. In accordance with its consistent practice, the Court will exercise the
authority inherent in its attributes to monitor compliance with all the terms of this
judgment. The case will be closed when the State has fully complied with all its
terms. Within one year of notification of the judgment, Colombia shall provide the
Court with a first report on the measures adopted to comply with the judgment.
