78 292. Consequently, the Court establishes on the grounds of equity, for the concept of non-pecuniary damages, the amount of US$20.000.00 (twenty thousand US dollars) for each of the 153 victims, as a consequence of the violation of Articles 5(1), 8(1) and 25(1) of the American Convention, in relation to Article 1(1) thereof. 293. In the case of Ramiro Osorio Cristales, the Court deems it pertinent to establish, a compensation of US$40.000.00 (forty thousand US dollars), taking into account that: a) he was declared victim of the violation of Articles 5(1), 8(1) and 25(1) of the Convention for the denial of justice and the related suffering; b) he was declared victim of the violation of Articles 17, 18, and 19 of the Convention for being separated from his family and with another name, and for not being guaranteed special protective measures for his condition as a minor, and c) the psychological effects and damages to his family life project283 and his exile. 294. Lastly, regarding Salomé Gómez Hernández, considering that he was declared victim of the violation of Articles 5(1), 19, 8(1) and 25(1) of the Convention, the Court deems it pertinent to establish, on the grounds of equity, a compensation of US$30.000 (thirty thousand US dollars) for this concept. 295. The State shall make the payment of this amount directly to each of the beneficiaries within one year from the notification of this Judgment. D.2) Costs and expenses 296. As indicated by the Court on repeated occasions, the costs and expenses are included within the concept of reparation established in Article 63(1) of the American Convention. 284 297. The Inter-American Commission asked this Court to “order the State […] to pay the costs and expenses duly proven to be reasonable and necessary, which have resulted and will result from the processing of this case before the Inter American Court.” 298. The representatives, in their brief of pleadings and motions, requested the State to pay US$96.92 (ninety-six US dollars and ninety-two cents) for costs and expenses in favor of Ramiro Osorio Cristales, based on “the personal expenses that he incurred to process the power-of-attorney [as well as to] send this power.” They also requested a payment of US$9,885.38 (nine thousand eight hundred eighty-five US dollars and thirty-eight cents) for the expenses that CEJIL incurred as of April 2000, given that the State, “because of the agreement [in the] friendly settlement process[,…] reimbursed the costs and expenses incurred until that date. The representatives added that FAMDEGUA “has actively participated in encouraging the process and in the presentation of claims,” but that “it does not keep proof of these expenses,” thus they requested the Court to “set [the] sum on the grounds of equity.” Lastly, in their brief of final arguments, the representatives added US$11,189.29 (eleven thousand one hundred eighty-nine US dollars with twentynine cents) to the costs and expenses in favor of FAMDEGUA, as well as US$20,455.95 (twenty thousand four hundred fifty-five US dollars with ninety-five 283 In this regard, in the case of survivor Ramiro Osorio Cristales the suffering caused by the abduction and illegal retention by Kaibil Santos López and his separation from his family (supra para. 179 and 180) derived not only in psychological damages but also to his life project within a family environment, including his exile. Based on the lack of elements to order an adequate measure to recover or redirect his life project, an additional compensation for said damages is appropriate. 284 Cf.
