of children, spouse, permanent companion, parents or siblings has not been established (supra para. 35). 51. Taking into account the provisions of paragraph 26, 48, 49 and 50 supra, and pursuant to Article 76 of the Court’s Rules of Procedure, the Court finds it pertinent to rectify the material error in paragraph 375 of the Judgment, as indicated in this Judgment, in order to provide greater clarity regarding its provisions and ensure that confusion does not arise in future following the publication and dissemination of the Judgment at the domestic level or during the stage of monitoring compliance with it. B.2) Beneficiaries of or heirs to the compensation established in the Judgment 52. Now that the meaning and scope of paragraphs 364, 375 and 385 of the Judgment have been determined, the Court will proceed to rule on the questions posed by the representatives concerning the beneficiaries of or heirs to the compensation. Specifically, the representatives asked the Court whether, for the purposes of the distribution of the compensation, in keeping with paragraphs 364, 375 and 385 of the Judgment, only the victims’ next of kin who were identified and individualized in the proceedings should be considered, or whether, to the contrary, the victims’ next of kin who were not identified during the litigation of the case before the inter-American human rights system should be taken into account. B.2.a) Distribution of the compensation of the “next of kin who are victims” 53. First, this Court reiterates that the compensation established in the Judgment was ordered in favor of those persons declared victims in this ruling. As mentioned previously, the victims include some family members of the victims recorded in the Diario Militar who, in turn, were declared victims in their own right (supra para. 38). Thus, the compensation established for the “next of kin who are victims” corresponds to them directly; in other words, they are the ones entitled to this compensation. According to paragraphs 384 and 385 of the Judgment, this compensation must be paid directly to those entitled to it, unless they are deceased, in which case the corresponding payment must be made directly to their heirs, in accordance with the applicable domestic law (supra paras. 38, 39, 48 and 49). 54. However, the Court recalls that the Judgment does not identify those persons who, as heirs, should receive the compensation established in the Judgment in favor of the “next of kin who are victims” who are deceased (supra para. 48). Therefore, the Court notes that, indeed, the compensation established in favor of the “next of kin who are victims” who are deceased or who die must be delivered to their heirs under domestic law, regardless of whether or not the latter are victims in this case. B.2.b) Distribution of the compensation of the victims recorded in the Diario Militar to their next of kin 55. Furthermore, regarding the victims recorded in the Diario Militar, the Court recalls that the criteria established in paragraph 364 of the Judgment must be applied when delivering the compensation to their next of kin (supra paras. 48, 49 and 50). The Court clarifies that the next of kin of the victims recorded in the Diario Militar who are victims in their own right of the facts of this case were duly identified during the proceedings before the inter-American human rights system, specifically before the Court. Furthermore, the human rights violations committed against them were duly established and proved during the proceedings on the merits of this case. As previously mentioned, when the Court establishes criteria for the distribution of compensation established in favor of disappeared or deceased persons, it seeks to facilitate the 13
