Payment of compensatory amounts and reimbursement of costs and
expenses (operative paragraph fifteen, sixteen and seventeen of the
Judgment)
67.
That as to the payment of the amounts set forth for pecuniary and nonpecuniary damage, as well as the reimbursement of costs and expenses, the State
informed that, by means of two resolutions of 2007 and one of 2008, the Ministry of
Defense ordered and paid the following compensatory amounts: all the
compensatory amounts to the next-of-kin of the victims already identified in the
Judgment; some of the compensatory amounts to some of the victims who have not
been identified in the Judgment (next-of-kin of Edwin Morales, Georgina Pinzón and
Wilson Molina Pinto), the costs to the victims' attorneys (Colectivo de Abogados
"José Alvear Restrepo" and CEJIL). In this sense, the State requested the Court to
study the documents presented and to declare this measure of reparation to be
fulfilled in relation to the people identified in the resolutions.

That, the representatives expressed that the State has complied with the
orders given by the Court in that sense, with a normal delay in the processing of the
payments. Nevertheless, they noted that the obligation to pay the compensations
shall not be limited to the victims’ next-of-kin who were recognized in the Judgment,
but that the amounts shall also cover those persons to be identified as victims or
next-of-kin of victims. They inform that they know 10 persons who appeared as a
result of the announcement, but they do not have information on the process of
identification.

representatives as to the fact that the State has made the corresponding payment of
the compensatory amounts ordered in favor of the identified victims and next-of-kin,
