deprived of liberty and their next of kin and the community, and to organize awarenessraising campaigns and protocols for the actions of journalists. The representative and the Commission also requested the improvement of detention conditions in the Mendoza Prisons. 361. The Court finds that the measures of reparation ordered in this Judgment are sufficient as regards the facts and the human rights violations established, among others factors, because César Alberto Mendoza and Claudio David Núñez have been released, and Saúl Cristian Roldán Cajal and Lucas Matías Mendoza are detained for the supposed perpetration of other offenses. G. Reimbursement of expenses to the Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund 362. In 2008, the General Assembly of the Organization of American States created the Legal Assistance Fund of the Inter-American Human Rights System in order to “facilitate access to the inter-American human rights system by persons who currently lack the resources needed to bring their cases before the system.” 415 In the instant case, the victims were granted the necessary financial assistance from the Legal Assistance Fund for expert witness Sofía Tiscornia to appear at the public hearing, as well as for the expenses related to the preparation of her expert opinion. It was also decided that financial assistance would be allocated to cover travel and accommodation expenses for the presumed victim Stella Maris Fernández to provide her testimony at the public hearing. 363. The State had the opportunity to present its observations on the disbursement made in this case, which amounted to US$3,693.58 (three thousand six hundred ninety-three United States dollars and fifty-eight cents). The State did not submit any observations in this regard. It is for the Court, pursuant to article 5 of the Rules of the Fund, to evaluate the admissibility of ordering the defendant State to reimburse the Legal Assistance Fund the disbursements incurred. 364. Based on the violations declared in this Judgment, the Court orders the State to reimburse the Fund the sum of US$3,693.58 (three thousand six hundred ninety-three United States dollars and fifty-eight cents) for the said expenses related to the appearance of Stella Maris Fernández and expert witness Sofía Tiscornia at the public hearing, as well as to the preparation of the latter's expert opinion. This amount must be repaid within ninety days of notification of this Judgment. H. Method of compliance with the payments ordered 365. The State must pay the compensation for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage established in this Judgment directly to the persons indicated herein, within one year of notification of the Judgment, in the terms of the following paragraphs. 366. If any of the beneficiaries should die before they have received the respective compensation, the amount will be provided directly to their heirs, pursuant to the applicable domestic law. 415 AG/RES. 2426 (XXXVIII-O/08), Resolution adopted by the thirty-eighth General Assembly of the OAS, during the fourth plenary session, held on June 3, 2008, “Creation of the Legal Assistance Fund of the InterAmerican Human Rights System,” operative paragraph 2(a), and CP/RES. 963 (1728/09), Resolution adopted by the OAS Permanent Council on November 11, 2009, “Rules of Procedure for the Legal Assistance Fund of the InterAmerican Human Rights System,” article 1(1). 112
