189. This Court deems that Honduras, in the framework of the general obligation
set forth in Article 2 of the Convention, must implement, if it does not yet exist, a
record of detainees to enable control of legality of the detentions, which must
therefore include identification of the detainees, the reason for their detention, the
competent authority, the day and time of admission and of release, and information
on the arrest warrant.

LEGAL COSTS AND EXPENSES
Pleadings of the representatives of the victim
190. The representatives of the victim requested reimbursement of legal costs and
expenses amounting to US$28,190.58 (twenty-eight thousand one hundred and
ninety United States dollars and fifty-eight cents), for expenses incurred in their
search for justice in the instant case, both domestically and internationally. They
specifically requested the following amounts: US$19,597.72 (nineteen thousand five
hundred and ninety-seven United States dollars and seventy-two cents) for legal
costs and expenses incurred by COFADEH; US$8,592.86 (eight thousand five
hundred and ninety-two United States dollars and eighty-six cents) as
reimbursement for expenses incurred by CEJIL; and to set an amount in fairness for
CODEHUCA.
Pleadings of the Commission
191. The Commission argued that the Court must recognize reasonable costs
incurred by the legal representatives in the domestic ambit and before the bodies of
the inter-American system for the protection of human rights, and the Commission
stated that it “endorse[d] the claims made by the representatives of [the next of kin
of the victim regarding reparations].”
Pleadings of the State
192. The State pointed out that payment of “compensations” to the attorneys who
intervened is not in order, such as those of the Inter-American Commission or those
of the Center for Justice and International Law, CEJIL, since they “perform a function
for a remuneration set for them by the [body] to which they belong.”
