The expenses incurred by the families as a result of the disappearance of the
victims were calculated on the basis of the sums claimed by the Commission, except
in the case of the brothers Daison and Deede-Manoe Aloeboetoe, for the reasons
explained above. In order to determine the current value of these expenses, the
same procedure used to calculate the reparations for moral damages was applied.

The compensation fixed for the victims’ heirs includes an amount that will
enable the minor children to continue their education until they reach a certain age.

Most of the children of the victims live in Gujaba, where the school and the medical
dispensary have both been shut down. The Court believes that, as part of the
compensation due, Suriname is under the obligation to reopen the school at Gujaba
and staff it with teaching and administrative personnel to enable it to function on a
permanent basis as of 1994. In addition, the necessary steps shall be taken for the
medical dispensary already in place there to be made operational and reopen that
