Pinzón López and María Teresa Pinzón López and US $20,000.00 (twenty thousand
United States dollars) to Mariela Contreras Cruz.
275. On the other hand, the Commission and the representatives requested
compensation for the lost earnings of Antonio María Barrera Calle, Jaime Riaño
Colorado, Enrique Pinzón López, Jorge Pinzón López, Luis Eduardo Pinzón López, José
Alberto Pinzón López, Gustavo Caicedo Rodríguez, Diego Armando Martínez
Contreras and Hugo Fernando Martínez Contreras (supra paras. 261 and 262 d).
276. With regard to minors Diego Armando Martínez Contreras and Hugo Fernando
Martínez Contreras, mentioned in the previous paragraph, there is no certainty
regarding the activity or profession they might have practiced in the future. The
Court deems that lost earnings must be based on evidence that establishes losses
with certainty.284
277. In the case of the other victims mentioned in paragraph 274 of this
Judgment, while in some cases there is evidence regarding the activities they carried
out or their ages (supra paras. 96.143, 96.146, 96.148 to 96.152, 96.158, 96.160
and 96.161), there is insufficient evidence to establish the income lost at the time of
the facts, for which reason the Court will take into account, to equitably estimate the
pecuniary losses caused by the deaths of said persons and those of the children
mentioned in the previous paragraph, inter alia, the minimum wage in force in
Colombia, life expectancy in Colombia in 1997, the circumstances of the case and, in
those cases in which it has been established, the ages of the victims and their
activities.285
278. Therefore, in fairness and based on the proposals made by the State and by
the representatives (supra paras. 264.o) and 263.d)), the Court sets the following
amounts for pecuniary damages of the following identified victims:
Antonio María Barrera Calle
Jaime Riaño Colorado
Enrique Pinzón López
Jorge Pinzón López
Luis Eduardo Pinzón López
José Alberto Pinzón López
Gustavo Caicedo Rodríguez
Diego Armando Martínez Contreras
Hugo Fernando Martínez Contreras
