16 him to earn himself some income from time to time. Moreover, in his testimony to the Court on September 6, 2001, the victim stated that: [he] had practically mapped out [his] life. From the time [he] entered the University, […] [he] was thinking about graduating, doing a masters degree, a doctorate [.…] [He] studied hard until that problem happened. Now practically nine years have passed and [he] still ha[s] not accomplished that goal [….] [He] was excited and wanted to continue and complete [his] studies [.…] [He] intended to resume [his] studies in biology, but as a special student at the start. But to do that [he] had to take a test to be a regular student. [He] ha[d] not managed to do this. [He] tried [to take courses] but always had to drop out because of financial [problems]. 49. Based on the foregoing, this Court can establish the following: a) That Luis Alberto Cantoral Benavides should receive from the State a minimum living wage corresponding to the period of his detention and incarceration. Payment of the respective sums of money will compensate the victim for the lost earnings he would otherwise have received from the occasional teaching work referenced earlier; b) That the victim should receive from the State compensation for the salary that a newly graduated biologist would have earned in the first years of his career, for the period from the date on which Luis Alberto Cantoral Benavides was released to the date of the present Judgment. Payment of the corresponding sums will compensate Mr. Cantoral Benavides for the income he did not receive. The lucrum cessans will be figured on the basis of 12 monthly paychecks per year, plus the corresponding bonuses, in keeping with Peruvian norms. The value of the resulting amount must be brought current to its value as of the date of the Judgment.42 50. The lucrum cessans, therefore, totals approximately US$24,000.00 (twentyfour thousand dollars of United States of America). The Court, in fairness, considers this figure to be adequate and thus orders its payment as compensation for the corresponding damages. 51. Based on the information received, the Court’s case law and the facts proven, the Court finds that the compensation for pecuniary damages in the instant case should also include the following: a) A sum of money for the victim’s medical expenses during his incarceration. Because the evidence presented in support of those expenses is inconclusive, the Court, in fairness, is ordering the sum of US$1,000.00 (one thousand dollars of United States of America) as compensation for these medical expenses; b) A sum of money for the victim’s future medical expenses, as the Court finds that there is sufficient evidence to show that the victim’s disorders began during his incarceration and that he currently requires psychotherapy (supra paragraph 35 e) and f) ), as shown by the expert opinions of psychologists Ana Luiza Loureiro de Vasconcellos and Oscar Maldonado 42 The Court is using an annual interest rate of 6 %.
