66 States dollars, and under the most favorable financial terms permitted by law and banking practice. If after ten years compensation has not been claimed, these amounts shall be returned to the State together with accrued interest. 167. The State may discharge its obligations by tendering United States dollars or an equivalent amount in Chilean currency, at the New York, USA, exchange rate as quoted on the day prior to the day payment is made. 168. The amounts allocated in this Judgment as reimbursement of costs and expenses shall not be affected, reduced, or conditioned by current taxes or any taxes that may be levied in the future. Consequently, said amount shall be paid in full to the beneficiary in accordance with the provisions set forth in this judgment. 169. Should the State fall into arrears with its payments, interest shall be paid on any amount due at the current bank default interest rate in Chile. 170. In accordance with its constant practice, the Court retains the authority which derives from its jurisdiction and the provisions of Article 65 of the American Convention, to monitor full compliance with this judgment. The instant case shall be closed once the State has fully complied with the provisions herein set forth. Within one year from the date of notice of this judgment, the Chilean State shall submit to the Court a report on the measures adopted in compliance herewith. XI OPERATIVE PARAGRAPHS 171.
