Luis Eduardo Casierra Quiñonez “gives the right to compensation.” They indicated that said victim did not have children or a wife, so the direct beneficiary is his mother, María Quiñonez Bone. They added that Andrés Alejandro and Sebastián Darlin Casierra Quiñonez "were emotionally devastated." Similarly, it is necessary to consider the non-pecuniary damage suffered by the entire family. They requested the amount of USD$30,000.00 (thirty thousand U.S. dollars) for each of the victims. 238. They stated that the human rights violations committed by state agents affected the entire family, which is related to the personal fulfillment of each of its members, clearly affecting their life project. They requested that the Court estimate in equity the amount of the reparations for that item. 239. The State indicated that, if compensation for non-pecuniary damage is granted, the amount must be adjusted to international standards in analogous cases. It requested that the claim of the representatives for compensation for damages to the life project not be granted, given that it lacks grounds. 240. Regarding non-pecuniary damage, the Court has established that it can include both the pain and suffering caused to a direct victim and his or her relatives, as well as the impairment of very significant values for people, as well as non-pecuniary alterations to the conditions of existence of the victim or their family.177 241. Given the circumstances of this case, the violations committed, the suffering caused, the time that has elapsed, and the impact on the life project of each of the victims, the Court establishes, in equity, compensation for non-pecuniary damages. As for Luis Eduardo Casierra Quiñonez, an amount of USD $50,000.00 (fifty thousand United States dollars) is set, which must be paid to his mother, María Ingracia Quiñonez Bone. Similarly, payment of USD$30,000.00 (thirty thousand U.S. dollars) is ordered for Andrés Alejandro Casierra Quiñonez, and USD$20,000.00 (twenty thousand U.S. dollars), to Sebastian Darlin Casierra Quiñonez. 242. Lastly, in view of the proven violations as a result of the death of Luis Eduardo Casierra Quiñonez, the Court establishes, in equity, the sum of USD$15,000.00 (fifteen thousand U.S. dollars) to each of the following people: María Ingracia Quiñonez Bone, Cipriano Casierra Panezo, Jonny Jacinto Casierra Quiñones, and Shirley Lourdes Quiñonez Bone. Because Mr. Casierra Panezo passed away, the corresponding amount must be distributed in the following manner: a) fifty percent (50%) to Ms. María Ingracia Quiñonez Bone, and if she is already deceased, her corresponding portion will increase the amounts to be paid to the sons and daughters of Mr. Casierra Panezo, as indicated in the subsection below, and b) the remaining fifty percent (50) will be distributed in equal parts among the daughters and sons of Mr. Casierra Panezo, and if one or several of said persons have already died, the part that corresponds to such person will increase that corresponding to the other sons and daughters.
