126. In the friendly settlement agreement, the State acknowledged the following: With regard to pecuniary damage, the State recognizes that, when the acts that violated the rights of the victims in this case occurred, all of them were men of full working age. As a result of the harm suffered, they were not only deprived of their main source of income, but were also unable to continue carrying out any form of work in a normal manner. Therefore, the State recognizes that the income that the victims and their families lost as a result of the violations, as well as the medical and other expenses incurred as a consequence thereof, are elements that must be taken into consideration for the calculation of the amount that would correspond to each of them. 127. Accordingly, in the friendly settlement agreement, the State agreed to the following: Thus, the State recognizes and accepts the need to compensate each of the forty-two direct victims in this case with the sum of [the amount of money agreed by the parties and established in the Agreement], and each of the two hundred and thirty-three family members indicated in the Merits Report with the sum of [the amount of money agreed by the parties and established in the Agreement]. The parties agree that the amounts corresponding to the deceased victims shall be distributed equally among the family members listed in the annex to the Merits Report of the IACHR. With respect to those victims identified in the IACHR Merits Report who have not yet been contacted, 154 the State, with the support of the representative organizations, undertakes to take steps to locate them and/or their next of kin, and to provide them with the corresponding amount as financial compensation in accordance with the above considerations. In this regard, when attempting to locate said persons, the State will not mention that it is for the purpose of granting them due compensation, nor will it refer to the amount thereof. If, after a period of 5 years, it has not been possible to locate these persons and they have not appeared before the Attorney General of the Republic, the State shall transfer said funds in equal parts to the Miskito associations that are signatories to this agreement, to be used for the development of the Miskito people. Said funds must be liquidated within a period one year. 128. Annex 3 of this judgment specifies the amounts corresponding to each of the victims in this case, based on the foregoing considerations and as established in the agreement. The Court confirms that the total amount to be paid by the State to the victims and their next of kin is [the amount of money agreed by the parties and established in the agreement]. In this regard, the agreement established the following: The State and the representatives undertake to maintain strict confidentiality with respect to the amounts specified above corresponding to each victim and his next of kin. The aforementioned amounts shall be paid through the State Secretariat at the Office of Finance (SEFIN), in two disbursements: 35% in the fiscal year 2021 and 65% in 2022, respectively. All payments shall be made in accordance with the General Budget of the Republic of Honduras for the fiscal year 2021 and 2022 and must be fully paid before the end of 2022, for which purpose the PGR shall make the necessary arrangements so that such payments are preferably made during the first semester of each fiscal year. These victims are: Alfredo Francisco Brown; Efraín Rosales Kirington; Félix Osorio Presby; David Esteban Bradley; Ramón Allen Felman; Ali Herrera Ayanco; Timoteo Salazar Zelaya and Mármol Williams García. 154 44
