domestically.297 Moreover, in no case can the State view the domestic awarding of
monetary reparations, set by domestic judicial and extrajudicial mechanisms, that might
result in monetary amounts greater than those stipulated in this judgment as implying
a balance in favor of the State that the beneficiaries are obligated to return,
279. The compensation (for both pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages) for Luis
Eduardo González González, Óscar Tassino Asteazú, Washington Javier Barrios
Fernández and those victims who died before the issuance of this judgment is to be
distributed among their heirs, pursuant to the applicable domestic law.

to their heirs, it is not possible to pay the amounts established within the indicated time
frame, the State shall deposit said amount in their favor in a bank account or certificate

the most favorable conditions permitted by banking laws and practice. If the
corresponding amount is not claimed after ten years, the amounts shall be returned to
