14 must be examined individually. (Neira Alegría Case et al., Reparations (Art. 63(1) American Convention on Human Rights), Judgment of September 19, 1996, Series C. No. 29, para. 55, and Castillo Páez Case, Reparations, supra 31, para. 83). 55. As for moral damages, the Court has previously held that there are numerous cases in which other international tribunals have determined that a judgment of condemnation constitutes adequate reparation per se for moral damages (for an example from the case law of the European Court of Human Rights; cfr., v.g. arrêt Ruiz Torija c. Espagne du 9 décembre 1994. Serie A no.303-A p. 13, pára.33). Nevertheless, in the grave circumstances of the present case, it is the view of the Court that it is not sufficient; for which reason the Court deems it necessary to award compensation for moral damages. (cfr. in this regard, El Amparo Case, Reparations, (Art. 63(1) American Convention on Human Rights), Judgment of September 14, 1996, Series C No. 28, para. 35, and Castillo Páez Case, Reparations, supra 31, para. 84). This same criteria has been applied by the European Court (Cour eur. D.H., arrêt Wiesinger du 30 octobre 1991, séries A No. 213, para. 85; Cour eur D.H., arrêt Kemmache c. France (article 50) du 2 novembre 1993, série A No. 270-B, para. 11; Cour eur. D.H., arrêt Mats Jacobsson du 28 juin 1990, série A No. 180-A, párr. 44; Cour eur. D.H., arrêt Ferraro du 19 février 1991, série A No. 197-A, para. 21). 56. In the present case, the Court itself cited the violation of Article 5 of the Convention in the context of the special gravity of the forced disappearance of a person, on finding that the circumstances of the forced disappearance of Mr. Nicholas Blake “generate suffering and anguish, in addition to a sense of insecurity, frustration and impotence in the face of the public authorities’ failure to investigate.” (Blake Case, Judgment of January 24, 1998, Series C No. 36, para. 114. ) 57. In effect, the forced disappearance of Mr. Nicholas Blake caused his parents and brothers suffering, intense anguish, and frustration in the face of the Guatemalan authorities’ failure to investigate and the cover up of what occurred. The suffering of the family members, in violation of Article 5 of the Convention, can not be disassociated from the situation created by the forced disappearance of Mr. Nicholas Blake that lasted until 1992 when his mortal remains were located. The Court, in conclusion, holds that the grave moral damage suffered by the four family members of Mr. Nicholas Blake is completed proved. 58. For the reasons set forth above, the Court considers it equitable to award US$30,000 (thirty thousand dollars of the United States of America) to each one of the four family members of Mr. Nicholas Blake. X THE DUTY TO TAKE DOMESTIC MEASURES 59. In its brief on reparations, the Commission requested that the Court order Guatemala to take the following measures relative to the reparation of the damages suffered: that the State investigate, both administratively and judicially, the criminal acts related to the illegal detention and subsequent forced disappearance of Mr. Nicholas Blake, and the cover up of the facts; that it identify, prosecute, and punish the perpetrators and accomplices; that it adopt the domestic legal measures necessary to avoid a recurrence of such violations, and that it inform the Court within a reasonable period as to the measures taken, among which the Commission believes should include, inter alia, those that oblige the State to comply in an
