-114(MEASURES OF SATISFACTION AND NON-REPETITION GUARANTEES)
Publication of the Judgment
313. As ordered in previous cases, and as a measure of satisfaction,179 the State
must publish once in the official gazette and in another daily newspaper with broad
national coverage, the chapter on proven facts of this Judgment, without its
footnotes, together with the operative paragraphs therein. The publications will be
made within six months as from the date notice of this Judgment be served.
314. With regard to the other claims, the Court considers that this Judgment
constitutes, in and of itself, a form of reparation for the victims.
E)
COSTS AND EXPENSES
315. As the Court has stated on previous occasions, the costs and expenses are
contemplated within the concept of reparations as enshrined in Article 63(1) of the
American Convention, since the victims’ efforts to obtain justice at the domestic as
well as at the international levels lead to expenses that must be compensated when
the State’s international responsibility has been determined in a conviction judgment.
With regard to their reimbursement, the Court must prudently assess their extent,
which involve the expenses incurred when acting before the authorities with domestic
jurisdiction as well as those incurred in the course of the proceedings before the
Inter-American System, taking into account the particular circumstances of the
specific case and the nature of international jurisdiction for the protection of human
rights. Such estimate must be made on grounds of equitable principles and in
consideration of the expenses represented by the parties, as long as their amount be
reasonable.180
316. The Court takes into consideration that the victims and their representatives
incurred costs relating to the domestic processing of the appeals for legal protection,
as well as before the Inter-American Commission and this Court. Likewise, it has been
noted that during most of the proceedings before this Court the common intervener
was given support by the Centro de Asesoría Laboral del Perú (CEDAL) (Labor
Counseling Center of Peru). As there is no documentary evidence of the costs incurred
in the actions taken in representation of the victims in the international proceedings
or of the costs incurred in the proceedings brought before the domestic courts, this
Court determines, on equitable grounds, costs and expenses in the amount of US$
16,000.00 (sixteen thousand United States Dollars) or an equivalent amount in
Peruvian currency, to be distributed in equal shares between the Centro de Asesoría
Laboral del Perú (CEDAL) (Labor Counseling Center of Peru) and the seven groups of
victims´ representatives listed in the application filed with the Court. Each of the
referred groups of representatives will appoint a person to collect the amounts on
their behalf. The State must pay the referred amounts within the term of one year.
