8.
That, in accordance with the Order of this Tribunal of February 6, 2008, the
payment of the interest on arrears resulted from the delay in the payment of
compensation for the non-pecuniary damage and reimbursement of the expenses and
costs was the only issue pending compliance with the Judgment (supra Having Seen
3).
9.
That in the private hearing to monitor compliance, the State requested the
Court the exemption from paying the corresponding interests and that the InterAmerican Commission and the representatives agreed that it was essential to know the
corresponding victim's opinion in that regard.
10.
That, at the same time that the State was taking the corresponding steps to pay
in full the overdue interests, Mr. Canese informed its final decision to waive his right to
collect such interests “considering them fully paid” and requested the Court to let the
State know “his wish to allocate the corresponding sum of money for overdue interests
to the promotion of freedom of expression in the country.”
11.
That, considering the statement made by the victim, the Court considers it is
appropriate to consider closed the procedure to monitor compliance with the Judgment
on the merits, reparations and costs delivered by the Inter-American Court of Human
Rights on August 31, 2004 in the case of Ricardo Canese V Paraguay and, in time, file
the case file.
12.
That, finally, the Court has considered the request made by the victim (supra
Having Seen clause 10) through the timely forwarding of his note to the State and by
means of this Order.
THEREFORE:
THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS,
by virtue of its authority to monitor compliance with its own decisions pursuant to
Articles 33, 62(1), 62(3), 65, 67 and 68(1) of the American Convention on Human
Rights, and Articles 25(1) and 30 of its Statute and 29(2) of its Rules of Procedure,
DECLARES:
