-80accepting the Court’s jurisdiction with the OAS General Secretariat. 152. The Court considers that, in the instant case, compensation for pecuniary damage must include the expenditure for medicines and psychological care that Ernestina and Erlinda’s next of kin required as a result of the suffering caused by the separation of the family, and the uncertainty, frustration, anguish and impotence given the failure of the judicial authorities to investigate diligently what happened to Ernestina and Erlinda and determine their whereabouts within a reasonable time. In addition, it should include the expenses incurred by Ernestina and Erlinda’s next of kin in order to discover their whereabouts. In this regard, the Court notes that some of those expenses were assumed by the Asociación Pro-Búsqueda, representatives of the victims and their next of kin, and that these expenses were generated as a result of the violations declared in this judgment. The Court considers that the State must compensate those expenses, because they have a direct causal link to the violations in this case, and do not relate to expenditure incurred in order to obtain access to justice (infra paras. 206 and 207), but to expenses incurred in the search for Ernestina and Erlinda, and also to pay for the medicines and care needed to treat the damage to the physical and psychological health of the victims’ next of kin. Although, no vouchers were submitted with regard to these expenses, based on the expert reports of Ana Deutsch and Laínez Villaherrera and the testimonies of two of Ernestina and Erlinda’ siblings and of Father Juan Cortina, the Court establishes, in fairness, the amount of US$555.00 (five hundred and fifty-five United States dollars) or the equivalent in Salvadoran currency, for the said expenses incurred by the next of kin, some of which were assumed by Pro-Búsqueda. This amount shall be delivered to Suyapa Serrano Cruz, Erlinda and Ernestina’s sister, who shall reimburse the corresponding amount to the Asociación Pro-Búsqueda. C) NON-PECUNIARY DAMAGE Arguments of the Commission 153. The Commission stated that: a) The children’s next of kin, particularly their mother and “the sister” made a great effort to find them and to ensure that those responsible for their capture and subsequent disappearance were criminally punished, with all the emotional stress that this signified; b) “The impunity that prevails in this case has caused the next of kin a tangible feelings of insecurity. As a result of the violations, the family of the victims has also suffered non-pecuniary damage that the Salvadoran State is obliged to repair”; and c) It is necessary to take “into consideration the situation of Ernestina and Erlinda Serrano Cruz, that of their next of kin, María Victoria Cruz Franco, Suyapa Serrano Cruz and José Fernando Serrano Cruz” and determine, in fairness, an amount corresponding to the non-pecuniary damage suffered by each of them.
