42 by the representatives, because there is no causal relationship between the violations that have been declared and the damage invoked. 131. With regard to non-pecuniary damage, the Court recognizes that Mr. Raxcacó Reyes was subjected to inhuman, cruel and degrading prison conditions, that he was sentenced to a mandatory death penalty for a crime for which this punishment was not provided when the State ratified the American Convention, and that he was deprived of his right to apply for pardon or commutation of sentence, all of which produced suffering and also physical and psychological consequences (post-traumatic stress) (supra para. 43(19) to 43(23)). The Court considers that, in the instant case, it is not pertinent to order the payment of financial compensation for non-pecuniary damage, bearing in mind that this judgment constitutes, per se, a form of reparation,77 and that the actions of a public nature or with public effects described in the following section signify due reparation in the terms of Article 63(1) of the American Convention. c) OTHER FORMS OF REPARATION a) Adaptation of domestic legislation to the American Convention 132. The Court declares the existence of a violation of Articles 4(1), 4(2) and 4(6) of the Convention, in relation to Articles 1(1) and 2 thereof. Consequently, it orders that the State should adopt the legislative, administrative and any other measures necessary to adapt its domestic legislation to the American Convention; in particular: (i) Modification, within a reasonable period, of Article 201 of the Penal Code in force, in order to define various specific crime categories that distinguish the different forms of kidnapping or abduction, based on their characteristics, the gravity of the facts, and the circumstances of the crime, with the corresponding provision of different punishments, proportionate to each category, and the empowerment of the courts to individualize punishments in keeping with the specifics of the crime and the perpetrator, within the maximum and minimum limits that each crime category should include. This modification should, under no circumstances, expand the list of crimes punishable with the death penalty established prior to ratification of the American Convention. While reforming this Article, the State must abstain from applying the death penalty and executing those convicted exclusively of the crime of kidnapping or abduction. (ii) Adoption, within a reasonable period, of a procedure that ensures that any person condemned to death has the right to apply for and, if applicable, obtain pardon or commutation of sentence, in accordance with a regulation that establishes the authority empowered to grant this, the presumptions of admissibility and the respective procedure; in these cases, the sentence must not be executed while the decision on the pardon or commutation of sentence applied for is pending.78 b) Revocation of the death sentence against Mr. Raxcacó Reyes 77 Cf.
