60 they requested payment of the expenses incurred on account of their trip to the City of Mexico to attend the public hearing of the instant case, as well as accommodation expenses and per diem for the attorneys, one expert witness, two witnesses and Mrs. Selsa Damaris Watt-Kawas, the daughter of the deceased victim. The total amount sought by the representatives on account of such expenses equals USD$ 8,465.48 [eight thousand four hundred and sixty-five United States dollars and forty-eight cents]. The total expenses requested by the representatives amount to USD$ 20,012.25 (twenty thousand twelve United States dollars and twenty-five cents). The representative specifically noted that “it has acted as representative of the victim[s] […] since the initial petition was filed with the Inter-American Commission in January 2003.” 218. In its answer to the application, the State agreed to pay “such necessary and reasonable [costs and expenses] as may be duly proven to have been incurred so far or in the future in the processing of this case domestically and before the Inter-American Human Rights System.” 219. Based on the vouchers for expenditures provided by the representatives, the Court notes that some of them bear no connection to the instant case,234 with others relating not exclusively to expenses incurred in relation to this case.235 The Court verifies that, considering the foregoing, the expenditures proven by the representatives total US $15,695.00 [fifteen thousand six hundred and ninety-five United States dollars], related to traveling and commuting expenses to: the Inter-American Commission, in connection with the filing of the application, hearing and proceedings in the instant case; Honduras, in connection with various steps in the processing of this case; and the city of Mexico, to attend the hearing held before the Court in the instant case (supra para. 9). The Court considers it reasonable to add the amount corresponding to the proportional expenditures made not exclusively for the processing of the instant case. 220. Accordingly, the Court has decided to equitably set at US $19,000.00 [nineteen thousand United States dollars] the amount due on account of expenses incurred during the processing of this case before the organs of the Inter-American System. Such amount shall be paid to Mr. Jacobo Kawas-Fernández, who shall turn over the appropriate amounts to the representatives. Such amount is inclusive of future expenses which the next of kin of Blanca Jeannette Kawas-Fernández may incur domestically or at the stage of monitoring 234 Cf. statement of advance payment of traveling expenses, dated November 24, 2006, for the trip to Honduras intended to follow up on the enforcement of the judgments rendered against Juan Humberto Sánchez, Alfredo López and Servellón García (record of appendixes to the brief of requests and arguments, appendix Q, folio 1822). 235 Cf.
