The Court will now consider those injurious effects of the facts of the case that are not financial or patrimonial in nature. Non-pecuniary damage can include both suffering and affliction caused to the direct victims and their relatives, detriment to the persons’ very significant values, and non-pecuniary alterations to the conditions of life of the victim or his family. Since it is not possible to assign a precise monetary equivalent to non-pecuniary damage, for purposes of comprehensive reparation to the victims it can only be compensated for in two ways. First, by means of the payment of an amount of money or the delivery of goods or services that are appraisable in monetary terms, determined by the Court applying judicial discretion in a reasonable manner and in terms of fairness. And second, by the performance of acts or works with a public scope or repercussion that attain effects such as remembrance of the victims, acknowledgment of their dignity, consolation of their relatives or transmitting a message of official reproval of the human rights violations involved and of commitment with efforts to avoid recidivism.174 The first aspect of reparation for non-pecuniary damage will be analyzed in this section, and the second aspect will be addressed in the following one. Pleadings of the representatives of the victim 169. The representatives of the victim alleged, regarding non-pecuniary damage, the following: a) it is part of human nature that any person subject to aggression and humiliation will experience moral suffering, for which reason it is unnecessary to prove this fact; therefore, the representatives asked the Inter-American Court to set an amount in fairness as compensation for the non-pecuniary damage suffered by Juan Humberto Sánchez and his next of kin; and b) the Sánchez family has had to suffer harassment and threats, especially within the community where they lived and also by the State; 174 Cf.
