78 judicial proceedings under domestic venue, as well as those incurred at the international level processing the case before the Commission and those incurred processing the case before the Court. Pleadings of the representative of the victims and their next of kin 240. The representative of the victims and their next of kin asked that an amount be set regarding the expenses incurred by the next of kin of Rafael Samuel and Emilio Gómez Paquiyauri seeking justice and filing complaints regarding the facts. She also requested US$ 367,658.70 (three hundred sixty-seven thousand six hundred and fifty-eight United States dollars and seventy cents), for costs and expenses incurred at the international level, including: expenses for the period from February 2002 to January 8, 2003; expenses incurred in steps taken in Lima, Peru, during 2002; expenses to prepare for the hearing and representation during 2003 and 2004; and expenses during the public hearing. Pleadings of the State 241. Regarding to the claims of the Commission regarding reparations, the State expressed, in general terms, that “it accepts the responsibility for the crime committed by [its] police agents, and therefore it will jointly and severally provide reparations for the injuries caused.” Considerations of the Court 242. As the Court has stated previously,162 costs and expenses are included in the concept of reparations set forth in Article 63(1) of the American Convention, because the activities carried out by the next of kin of the victims to attain justice, both locally and internationally, entail expenses that must be compensated when the international responsibility of the State is found in a condemnatory judgment. Regarding to their reimbursement, the Court must prudently appraise the amount, encompassing the expenses incurred in proceedings before the authorities under domestic venue, as well as those incurred in the course of the proceeding before the inter-American system, taking into account the circumstances of the specific case and the nature of international jurisdiction for protection of human rights. This appraisal may be based on the principle of fairness and taking into account the expenses stated by the parties, if their quantum is reasonable. 243. The Court takes into account that the next of kin of the victims acted through representatives both before the Commission and before the Court. Therefore, the Court deems it equitable to order payment of the total amount of US$ 30,000.00 (thirty thousand United States dollars), which must be given to Ricardo Samuel Gómez Quispe and Marcelina Paquiyauri Illanes de Gómez, parents of the victims, to cover the costs and expenses in the domestic proceedings and in the international proceeding before the inter-American system for protection of human rights. XVII MODE OF COMPLIANCE 244.
