establish the sum, in equity, of $US 2,000.00 (two thousand dollars of the United States of America) for pecuniary damage in favor of Ms. Francisca Mercedes Vera Valdez. This amount must be paid in the period set by the Court for said purpose. (infra para. 146). D.2 Non-pecuniary damages 133. The Court has developed in its jurisprudence the concept of nonpecuniary damage and has established that non-pecuniary damage consists of “the suffering and the harm caused to the direct victims and their relatives, the erosion of values of great significance to people, as well as the alterations of a non-pecuniary nature, in the living conditions of the victim or the victim’s family.” 131 D.2.1 Arguments of the parties 134. The Commission requested the Court to, as it deems necessary, establish the sum, in equity, for compensation that corresponds to nonpecuniary damages caused as a consequence of the violations alleged in the application. The representative requested that the Court establish the sum, in equity, of US$ 80,000.00 dollars of the United Stats of America for Ms. Francisca Mercedes Vera Valdez for the suffering caused when she had to “beg daily” for her son to be appropriately cared for, in addition to the “irreparable pain [caused] by the loss of her loved one.” The State expressed that the amount requested by the representative was not in-line with the violations alleged. D.2.2 Considerations of the Court 135. International jurisprudence has repeatedly established that the Judgment may constitute per se a form of reparation.132 However, considering the circumstances of the case sub judice, the Court finds it pertinent to establish a sum, in equity, as compensation for non-pecuniary damage. 133 136. In this regard, the Court notes that Mr. Pedro Miguel Vera Vera was submitted to cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment while he remained injured due to a gunshot wound, under State custody, until his death. In consideration of the nature of the violations committed, the Court deems it relevant to establish the sum, in equity, of US$ 10,000.00 (ten thousand dollars of the United Stats of America), in his favor, which should be delivered 131 Cf.
