29 years of seeking justice,” without indicating a specific sum. The Court has held that “the claims
of the victims or their representatives in the matter of costs and expenses, with the supporting
evidence, must be presented to the Court at the first procedural moment, that is, in the brief with
pleadings, motions and evidence, although such claims may later be adjusted if new costs and
expenses have been incurred during the procedure before this Court.” 151 In view of the above, the
request is extemporaneous and must be rejected. Nevertheless, at the stage of monitoring compliance
of this judgment, the Court may order that the State reimburse the victims or their representatives the
reasonable expenses that they incurred at that procedural step.152
G. Method of compliance of the payments ordered
143. The State shall make immediate payment of the compensation established as restitution in this
judgment, was well as the non-pecuniary damages, directly to the persons indicated therein within
a period no greater than two years and eight months, respectively as was specified, of notification
of this judgment, although the State may make full payment at an earlier date, in the terms of the
paragraphs that follow.

it is not possible to pay the amounts established within the indicated time frame, the State shall

shall be returned to the State with the interest accrued.
