103 a) COFAVIC incurred various expenses in connection with steps taken before domestic entities during the period from 1989 to 1995, for which they request as compensation US$46,800.00 (forty-six thousand eight hundred United States dollars). They do not include the attorney fees of Liliana Ortega Mendoza, who provided legal assistance to the victims, in view of the fact that she donated her professional services. COFAVIC also incurred a number of expenses in steps taken before the bodies of the inter-American system, which they estimate amount to US$45,700.00 (forty-five thousand seven hundred United States dollars ); and b) CEJIL, in turn, as co-applicant with COFAVIC before the bodies of the inter-American system, requested payment of a number of expenses incurred, adding up to US$6,579.90 (six thousand five hundred and seventynine United States dollars and ninety cents); Considerations of the Court 130. Legal costs and expenses must be understood to fall under the concept of reparations set forth in Article 63(1) of the American Convention, as the activities carried out by the victim or victims, their next of kin or their representatives to obtain justice under domestic and international jurisdiction involve expenses and financial commitments for which there must be compensation when the respondent is found to be responsible of violations.198 131. The Court must judiciously assess legal costs and expenses, taking into account the circumstances of the specific case, the nature of international human rights jurisdiction, and the characteristics of the respective proceedings, which are specific and different from those of other domestic and international proceedings.199 132. To this end, the Court deems it equitable to recognize for COFAVIC, as reimbursement of legal costs and expenses incurred under domestic jurisdiction and before the inter-American system, US$75,000.00 (seventy-five thousand United States dollars) and for CEJIL as reimbursement for expenses incurred before the inter-American system, US$1,000.00 (one thousand United States dollars). 133. According to documentation supplied to this Court, COFAVIC has taken numerous steps within the country to seek justice in the instant case (supra paras. 66.63 and 66.64). The Court also foresees that COFAVIC must take various steps regarding compliance with the instant Judgment, in view of which it deems it appropriate, in fairness, to set the sum of US$10,000.00 (ten thousand United States dollars) for future expenses in connection with said steps. 198 Cf.
