appropriate to convene a public hearing to hear the statements of Noclair Florvilien and Joshua Maxime proposed by representatives, as well as the expert opinions of Doudou Diene and Gay McDougall, proposed by the Commission. 3. Incorporation of the expert opinion rendered in the case of Yean and Bosico V. the Dominican Republic 18. In its brief submitting the case, the Commission requested that the expert opinion given by Mr. Samuel Martinez in the Case of Yean and Bosico v. Dominican Republic be incorporated into the case file, where pertinent (supra Having Seen clause 1). The State and the representatives had no observations. In view of this, the President considers that the anthropological expert opinion can provide the Court with more elements in regard to the context of people of Haitian origin in the Dominican Republic. In this regard, it provides that this expert opinion be incorporated into this case, in order for it to be analyzed, where it so corresponds, in the context of the existing body of evidence under the rules of sound judgment. While it is documentary evidence, the State and the representatives may refer to this expert opinion in their final arguments. C. Application of the Victim’s Legal Assistance Fund 19. In the Order adopted by the President on December 1, 2011 (supra Having Seen clause 6), the decision was made to declare admissible the request filed by the alleged victims, by way of their representatives, to benefit from the Assistance Fund of the Court, so as to grant the financial assistance necessary for the presentation of a maximum of three statements, whether by affidavit or at the public hearing, and the attendance of one of the representatives. 20. Having determined that the statements provided by the representatives will be received by the Court and the means by which they will be carried out, it is now necessary to specify the amount, allocation, and specific purpose of such assistance. 21. In this regard, the President provides that the financial assistance will be allocated to cover the travel and accommodation expenses necessary for Messrs. Noclair Florvilien and Joshua Maxime, and a representative to appear before the Court and to render their statements at the public hearing to be held in the city of San Jose, Costa Rica. Moreover, financial assistance will be provided to cover the costs of formalization and delivery of a statement rendered by affidavit, as determined by the alleged victims or their representatives, according to the provisions of operative paragraph 1 of this Order. The representatives shall report to the Court the name of the declarant whose affidavit will be covered by the Assistance Fund, and submit a cost estimate for the formalization of the sworn statement in Haiti or the Dominican Republic and its delivery, within the period of time established in the operative paragraphs of this Order. As for the three people summoned to the public hearing, the Court will take the pertinent and necessary steps to cover travel, accommodation and meals for those declarants with funds from the Victim’s Assistance Fund. 22. Pursuant to the requirement of Article of the Rules of Procedure for the Operation of the Assistance Fund (hereinafter “Rules of Procedure of the Assistance Fund”), it provides that the Secretariat will open a case file on expenses in order to keep an accounting and document each of the expenditures that will be made in regard to the Fund. 6
