be provided free of charge and for the period deemed necessary to the brothers Tzompaxtle Tecpile
and to the heirs of Gustavo Robles López.”
238. For its part, the Commission requested that the Court order the “immediate, free care of a
physical or mental nature of the victims of this case for the necessary period.”
239. In the Memorandum of Understanding, the State manifested its commitment to provide free,
adequate and preferential medical care, medicine and psychological care, at the three levels of care,
establishing contact with the Federal Ministry of Health and the Ministries of Health of the States of
Veracruz and Guerrero, which will act as liaisons for communications in cases of emergency and for
any eventuality regarding health care that might present itself. The linkage will enable a dialogue to
resolve such emergencies, with the office of the Minister of Health in charge of the road map to health.”
It added in its arguments that “the Ministries of Health of Vera Cruz and of Guerrero shared information
in October 2021 on the medical services provided up to that moment and that, therefore, it reiterates
its intent to continue complying with its commitment under the Memorandum of Understanding.”
240. The Court notes that the measure requested was agreed to by the parties in the Memorandum
of Understanding and that there is no controversy on the fact that the measure must continue to be
implemented in the terms established in the Memorandum; in other words, that the medical and
psychological care should be adequate, preferential and free and that it include medical care, medicine
and psychological attention. In addition, under the Memorandum, the Federal Ministry of Health and
the Ministries of Health of the States of Veracruz and Guerrero, “shall act as liaison for communications
in cases of emergency and for any eventuality regarding health care that might be presented. This
linkage will enable a dialogue to resolve such emergencies, with the office of the Minister of Health in
charge of the road map to health.” Therefore, the Court considers it proper to order this measure,
under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding and in accordance with the order contained in
this paragraph, to the benefit of the victims declared in this case and the family members of Gustavo
Robles López. The Court will not monitor compliance of this measure of reparation regarding the heirs
of Gustavo Robles López.
E. Compensation
241. The representatives indicated that the State agreed to and paid each of the victims, or his
heirs in the case of Gustavo Robles López, the corresponding compensation and, thus, consider that
this measure has been satisfied by the State.
242. The Court, therefore, deems it proper to order the aforementioned measure of reparation in
the understanding that the State has complied with the terms of the Memorandum.
F. Expenses and costs
243. The representatives indicated that the State had covered the costs and expenses of the
domestic legal proceedings and of the process before the Inter-American Commission until October
2020 by reimbursing the Solidarity Network for the Decade against Impunity the amount of MXN
228,937.18 (approximately USD 10,855) and an additional USD 5,000. They asked the Court to
determine, in equity, the proper amount for their work since November 2020, when they had expenses
for meetings with the victims in diverse places and carried out investigations, gathered and presented
evidence until the conclusion of the international proceedings. They, thus requested the amount of
MXN 48,556.42 (the equivalent of USD 2,422.18) for disbursements related to the hearing on
preliminary objections and eventually on the merits, reparations and costs. They also indicated that
the amount granted for costs and expenses should consider the national and international stages of
compliance of the judgment.
