US$1,000.00 (one thousand United States dollars) for Mrs. Monreal, and
reimbursement of the expenses that were not duly paid by the State in 2006; (ii)
US$1,000.00 (one thousand United States dollars) for Mrs. González, and
reimbursement of the expenses that were not duly paid by the State in 2004, and (iii)
US$1,300.00 (one thousand three hundred United States dollars) for Mrs. Monárrez,
and reimbursement of the expenses that were never paid by the State.
564. The State submitted a reparation proposal for each victim; with regard to
consequential damage, it established that the expenses incurred by the next of kin of
the victims as a result of the deaths of the latter could be covered by $10,000.00 (ten
thousand Mexican pesos) for each victim, bearing in mind the cost of “funeral
expenses” in Ciudad Juárez. In addition, it announced that, in 2006, the Office of the
Attorney General for the State of Chihuahua had delivered $3,300.00 (three thousand
three hundred Mexican pesos) to the next of kin of Esmeralda Herrera to pay for the
funeral service542 and, before that, in 2004, the Chihuahua Women’s Institute had
given Mrs. Monreal and her family $6,500.00 (six thousand five hundred Mexican
pesos) as assistance for funeral expenses.543
565. In view of the failure to submit supporting documents proving that the funeral
expenses amounted to the sums requested by the representatives, and taking into
account that: (i) the representatives acknowledged that Mrs. Monreal and Mrs.
González had received $2,600.00 (two thousand six hundred Mexican pesos) and
$6,500.00 (six thousand five hundred Mexican pesos), respectively; (ii) the absence of
proof that the State had granted any assistance for funeral expenses to Mrs. Monárrez,
and (iii) the State’s acknowledgement that, in Ciudad Juárez, funeral expenses amount
to $10,000.00 (ten thousand Mexican pesos), this Tribunal considers, in equity, that
the following sums should be delivered: to Mrs. Monreal US$550.00 (five hundred and
fifty United States dollars), to Mrs. González US$250.00 (two hundred and fifty United
States dollars) and to Mrs. Monárrez US$750.00 (seven hundred and fifty United
States dollars) for funeral expenses.
566. Regarding special expenses, since: (i) the representatives did not indicate why
the Court should order the State to compensate the special expenses, other than for
the funerals, incurred by the victims’ next of kin, based on the sum of US$150.00 (one
hundred and fifty United States dollars) for each week of disappearance until the date
on which the bodies were found; (ii) during the hearing, two of the mothers
acknowledged, in general, that they had incurred expenses other than the funerals,544
and (iii) the State did not contest this request for expenses specifically, but merely
proposed compensation only for “funeral expenses,” the Court decides to grant, in
equity, for expenses incurred in the search: (i) US$150.00 (one hundred and fifty
United States dollars) to Mrs. Monreal; (ii) US$600.00 (six hundred United States
dollars) to Mrs. González; and (iii) US$1,050.00 (one thousand and fifty United States
dollars) to Mrs. Monárrez.
567. The compensation established in the preceding paragraph shall be delivered
directly to its beneficiaries.
