complying with this aspect of the Judgment as already mentioned, as long as the minors are
able to withdraw the amounts they are entitled to, pursuant to the conditions established in
paragraph 422 of the Judgment. Furthermore, it is important to point out that the State
should inform and be aware of the date on which the corresponding minor becomes of age.

That as to the reimbursement of the costs and expenses, the State pointed out that
it ordered such payment by means of Resolutions 5898 and 2088. In addition, the
representatives did not specifically refer to the compliance with this obligation, but they
limited to mention that they received the total amount that the State ordered in such
resolutions. In this regard, it spring from Resolution 2088 that the State ordered the
payment of $33.817.397, 88 Colombian pesos (approximately, US$ 17.000,00 dollars of the
United States of America) in favor of the Grupo Interdisciplinario por los Derechos Humanos
and $18.035.945, 53 Colombian pesos (approximately US$ 9.000,00 dollars of the United

Such sums include the accrued interest. Therefore, the Tribunal considers that the State has
complied with this aspect of the Judgment.
