19 circumstances of the specific case, the nature of the international jurisdiction for the protection of human rights and the characteristics of the respective proceeding, which are unique and differ from those of other proceedings of a national or international nature29. 72. The disbursements that are strictly necessary to attend the matters before the jurisdictional organs at the national and international level are included in the concept of expenses and costs30. With regard to professional fees, it is necessary to bear in mind the characteristics inherent in the international human rights proceeding, in which decisions are adopted on the violations of such rights, without examining all the extremes of the implications of these violations, which could involve questions of earnings related to the said fees, which are legitimate in themselves, but unrelated to the specific issue of the protection of human rights. Therefore, the Court must decide these claims with restraint. If the Court proceeded otherwise, international human rights litigation would be denatured. Consequently, the Court must apply criteria of equity in these cases. 73. To that end, the Court considers that it is fair to grant the victim the sum of US$20,000.00 (twenty thousand United States dollars), in reimbursement of the expenses and costs generated in the domestic jurisdiction and in the inter-American jurisdiction; this amount includes professional fees31. XII METHOD OF COMPLIANCE 74. To comply with this judgment, the State must pay the indemnities and compensations, reimburse the costs and expenses, and adopt the other measures ordered, within six months of the notification of this judgment, with the exception of what is established in paragraph 47. 75. Reimbursement of the expenses generated by the measures taken by the victim or his representatives and reimbursement of the costs resulting from the domestic proceedings or the international proceeding before the inter-America system for the protection of human rights will be made to Mr. Cesti. 76. The State may fulfill its obligations by paying in United States dollars or an equivalent amount in Peruvian currency, using the exchange rate between the two currencies in force in the market in New York, United States, the day before payment, to make the respective calculation. 77. The payments ordered in this judgment for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage shall be exempt of any existing or future tax or charge. 29 Cf. Villagrán Morales et al. case.
