48 offered to the Court at the first occasion granted to them,137 that is, in the brief of requests and motions, without prejudice to the fact that such claim may be later on updated, according to new costs and expenses incurred during the processing of the case before this Court. 181. Based on the foregoing and on the fact that there is no documentary evidence proving the expenses incurred by the victims and the representative during the proceeding at the domestic level, the Court determines, in fairness, that the State must grant the amount of US$ 1.500.00 (one thousand fifty hundred dollars of the United States of America) to Hugo Ticona Estrada, for costs and expenses. It is worth mentioning that this Tribunal, when determining the expenses and costs, has excluded the expenses incurred at the international level, since in the procedure before the Inter-American system, the Ombudsman was the representative of the victim and as has been mentioned by him and the State, his services are rendered free of charge. The amount shall be delivered to the beneficiary within the term of one year as from notice of this Judgment. Hugo Ticona shall deliver, in turn, the amount he thinks is appropriate to whom was his representative at the domestic level. At last, this Court positively values the participation of the Ombudsman in this international proceeding, since it strengthens the general protection of human rights and, consequently, the Inter-American system for the protection of Human Rights. E) Method of Compliance with the Payments Ordered 182. The payment of the compensations shall be done directly to the beneficiaries and the reimbursement of costs and expenses to Hugo Ticona. Should this person die before the pertinent above compensatory amounts are paid thereto, such amounts shall inure to the benefit of their heirs, pursuant to the provisions of the applicable domestic legislation.138 183. The State must discharge its pecuniary obligations by tendering dollars of the United States of America or an equivalent amount in the Bolivian legal currency, at the New York, USA exchange rate between both currencies prevailing on the day prior to the day payment is made. 184. If, due to reasons attributable to the beneficiary of the above compensatory amounts, he were not able to collect them within the period set for that purpose, the State shall deposit said amounts in an account held in the beneficiary’ name or draw a certificate of deposit from a reputable Bolivian financial institution, in US dollars and under the most favorable financial terms allowed by the legislation in force and the customary banking practice. If after ten years compensation set herein were still unclaimed, said amounts plus accrued interests shall be returned to the State. 185. The amounts allocated in this Judgment as compensation and reimbursement of costs and expenses shall be delivered to the beneficiaries in their entirety in accordance with the provisions hereof, and may not be affected, reduced, or conditioned on account of current or future tax purposes. 137 Cf.
