102 263. Arguments of the State The State objected to the payment of costs and expenses to YATAMA and its representatives, because “the application is without legal grounds.” Considerations of the Court 264. The Court has established that costs and expenses are included in the concept of reparation embodied in Article 63(1) of the American Convention.192 The Court must prudently assess their scope, which includes the expenses incurred in both the domestic and the inter-American jurisdiction, taking into account the authentication of the expenses incurred, the circumstances of the specific case and the nature of the international jurisdiction for the protection of human rights. This assessment may be based on the principle of equity.193 265. YATAMA incurred expenses directly owing to the measures it took in representation of the victims at the domestic level and incurred some expenses in the proceedings before the inter-American system for the protection of human rights. Also, CENIDH and CEJIL incurred expenses when representing the alleged victims in the international proceeding. Consequently the Court deems in equitable to order the State to reimburse the amount of US$15,000.00 (fifteen thousand United States dollars) or the equivalent in Nicaraguan currency to YATAMA for costs and expenses; YATAMA shall deliver to CENIDH and CEJIL the part that corresponds to them to compensate their expenses. E) METHOD OF COMPLIANCE 266. The State shall pay the compensation for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage (supra para. 248), and the reimbursement of costs and expenses (supra para. 265) and shall adopt the publicity measures ordered by the Court (supra paras. 252 and 253) within one year of notification of this judgment. 267. Nicaragua shall implement the measures of reparation relating to the creation of a simple, prompt and effective judicial recourse against the decisions of the Supreme Electoral Council (supra paras. 254 and 255), the reform of Electoral Act No. 331 of 2000 (supra paras. 258 and 259), and the adoption of the necessary measures to guarantee the political rights of the members of the indigenous and ethnic communities of the Atlantic Coast (supra para. 259) within a reasonable time. 268. The State shall comply with its pecuniary obligations by payment in United States dollars or the equivalent in Nicaraguan currency, using the exchange rate in force on the New York, United States of America, market the day before the payment to make the calculation. 1042; and appendixes to the final written arguments of the representatives, appendix 6, file of preliminary objections, merits and reparations, tome V, folios 1670 to 1686. 192 Cf.
