271. The State must pay the compensations and reimburse the costs and expenses
(supra paras. 235 to 238, 244 to 250 and 270) within one year of notification of this
Judgment. In regards to other reparations ordered, the State must fulfill these
measures within a reasonable time (supra paras. 254 to 259 and 262 to 264), or
within the time set forth in this Judgment (supra paras. 237(e), 260 and 261).

and their representatives for steps taken in the domestic and international
proceedings will be made to him (supra para. 270), and he will make the respective
payments in the manner agreed upon by him with the representatives.
274. If for reasons due to the beneficiaries of the compensations they are unable
to receive them within the one year term specified, the State will deposit said
amounts in their favor in a deposit certificate or account in a solid French banking
institution, in euros and under the most favorable conditions allowed by banking
practices and legislation. If the compensation has not been claimed in ten years
time, the respective amount will be returned to the State, together with interest
accrued.
275. As regards the compensation ordered in favor of minors Jeanne Camila
Vachon and Lisianne Judith Tibi, the State must deposit it in a solid French
institution, in euros. The investment will be made within one year, under the most
favorable conditions allowed by banking practices and legislation, while the
beneficiaries are minors. They may withdraw it when they come of age, or before
that if it is in the child’s best interest, set forth in a ruling by a competent judicial
authority. If the compensation is not withdrawn within ten years of when they attain
majority, the amount will be returned to the State, together with the interest
accrued.

Judgment by means of payments in euros.

accordance with the bank interest rate on arrearages in Ecuador.
279. As was established and has been the practice in all the cases it has heard, the
Court will oversee compliance with the instant Judgment regarding all aspects. This
oversight is inherent to the jurisdictional authority of the Court, and it is necessary
for due observance, by the Court itself, of Article 65 of the Convention. The case will
be closed once the State has fully complied with the provisions set forth in the ruling.
Within one year of notification of this Judgment, the State will submit its first report
to the Court on steps taken to comply with this Judgment.
