This assessment may be based on the principle of equity, taking into consideration the expenses indicated by the parties, provided the quantum is reasonable.338 In this case, the Court takes into account the symbolic nature of the case and the difficulties described in the search to obtain justice at the domestic level. 259. Based on the foregoing findings and on the body of evidence, the Court determines, in equity, that the State must deliver the sum of US$35,000.00 (thirty-five thousand United States dollars) to Iván Cepeda Castro, so that he may deliver this to the corresponding representatives for the costs and expenses incurred before the Commission and the Court. This sum includes any future expenses that the victims may incur during the monitoring of compliance with this judgment. If the representatives and the victims have agreed on a specific sum for the litigation, this must be attributed to the amount established for costs and expenses. D.4 Method of complying with the payments ordered 260. The payment of the compensation for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage and reimbursement of costs and expenses established in this judgment shall be made directly to those indicated in the judgment, within one year of its notification, in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 247 to 253 and 259 herein. Should any of the victims die before payment of the respective amounts, these shall be delivered to their heirs, according to the applicable domestic laws. 261. The State must comply with its pecuniary obligations by payment in United States dollars or the equivalent amount in national currency, using the exchange rate in force on the New York market the day before payment to make the respective calculation 262. If, for reasons that can be attributed to the beneficiaries of the compensation or to their heirs, it is not possible to pay the amounts established within the time frame indicated, the State shall deposit the amount in their favor in an account or a deposit certificate in a solvent Colombian banking institute in United States dollars and in the most favorable financial conditions permitted by law and banking practice. If, after 10 years, the compensation has not been claimed, the amounts shall revert to the State with the accrued interest. 263. The amounts allocated in this judgment as compensation for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage and for reimbursement of costs and expenses must be delivered to the victims integrally, as established in this judgment, and may not be affected or conditioned by current or future taxes or charges. 264. If the State falls into arrears, it shall pay interest on the amount owed, corresponding to banking interest on arrears in Colombia. 338 Cf. Case of Garrido and Baigorria v. Argentina.
