71 and Marcelina Paquiyauri Illanes de Gómez, parents of the victims. 209. Based on all the above, the Court will now summarize the amounts set as compensation for pecuniary damages in connection with the violations found: REPARATIONS FOR PECUNIARY DAMAGES Lost earnings Damnum emergens Total Rafael Samuel Gómez Paquiyauri (victim) US$100,000.00 US$100,000.00 Emilio Moisés Gómez Paquiyauri (victim) US$100,000.00 US$100,000.00 Ricardo Samuel Gómez Quispe and Marcelina Paquiyauri Illanes de Gómez (parents of the victims) US$40,500.00 US$40,500.00 US$240,500.00 TOTAL 210. The compensation ordered in favor of Rafael Samuel and Emilio Moisés Gómez Paquiyauri for pecuniary damages must be distributed under the terms set forth in paragraphs 199 and 200 of the instant Judgment. C) NON-PECUNIARY DAMAGES 211. The Court will now address the injurious effects of the facts in this case that are not financial or property-related. Non-pecuniary damage may include both the suffering and affliction caused to the direct victims and to their close relations, detriment to very significant values of the individuals, as well as non-pecuniary changes in the conditions of existence of the victim or the victim’s family. Since it is not possible to assign a specific monetary equivalent to non-pecuniary damage, for purposes of comprehensive reparations to the victims it can only be compensated, in two ways. First, by payment of an amount of money or delivery of goods or services that can be quantified in monetary terms, which the Court will establish by rationally applying judicial discretion and in terms of fairness. Second, by carrying out acts or works that are public in their scope or repercussion, such as broadcasting a message of official reproval of the human rights violations involved and of commitment to efforts to avoid their repetition and to ensure remembrance of the victims, acknowledgment of their dignity, and consolation to their relatives.149 The first aspect of reparations for non-pecuniary damage will be addressed in this section, and the second aspect in the following one.
