Arguments of the State: The transfer was a security measure since Mr. Alfredo López Álvarez and other inmate leaders of CODIN allegedly maintained disputes with other detainees in the Criminal Center of Tela. Considerations of the Court 178. Even though the representatives may claim rights not presented by the Commission in its application (supra para. 82), the Court considers that the facts argued as violations of Article 16 of the Convention do not correspond to the suppositions established in this precept. XIII REPARATIONS APPLICATION OF ARTICLE 63(1) Obligation to Repair 179. It is a principle of International Law that all violation of an international obligation that has produced damage involves the duty to adequately repair it.119 In this sense, the Court has based its decisions on Article 63(1) of the American Convention, according to which: [i]f the Court finds that there has been a violation of a right or freedom protected by this Convention, the Court shall rule that the injured party be ensured the enjoyment of his right or freedom that was violated. It shall also rule, if appropriate, that the consequences of the measure or situation that constituted the breach of such right or freedom be remedied and that fair compensation be paid to the injured party. 180. Article 63(1) of the American Convention constitutes a rule of customary law that enshrines one of the fundamental principles in contemporary international law on state responsibility. Thus, when an illicit act is imputed to the State, its international responsibility arises, together with the subsequent duty of reparation and to put an end to the consequences of said violation.120 The obligation to repair is regulated by International Law and may not be modified or not complied with by the State invoking for said purpose stipulations of its domestic law.121 181. Reparations consist in those measures necessary to make the effects of the committed violations disappear. Their nature and amount depend on the characteristics of the violation and of the harm caused at both material and moral levels. Reparations cannot entail either enrichment or impoverishment of the victim or 119 Cf.
