221. Should a beneficiary die before he or she receives the respective compensation, it shall be delivered directly to that beneficiary’s heirs, in accordance with the applicable domestic law. 222. With respect to the monetary compensation, the State shall comply with its monetary obligations by payment in United States of America dollars or, if that is not possible, in the equivalent in Venezuelan currency, using the highest and most beneficial rate for the victims allowed by domestic law in force at the time of the payment. During the stage of monitoring compliance with this Judgment, the Court may make a prudent readjustment of the equivalent of the respective sums in the currency of Venezuela in order to avoid exchange variations that substantially affect their purchasing power. 223. If, for causes that can be attributable to the beneficiaries of the compensation or their heirs, it is not possible to pay the amounts established within the indicated time frame, the State shall deposit such amounts in their favor in an account or certificate of deposit in a solvent Venezuelan financial institution, in United States dollars, and in the most favorable financial conditions permitted by the legislation and banking practices. It the corresponding amount is not claimed after 10 years, the amounts shall be returned to the State with the interest accrued. 224. The amounts allocated in this Judgment as compensation shall be delivered in full to the persons indicated, as established in this Judgment, without any deductions arising from possible taxes and charges. 225. If the State should fall into arrears, including the reimbursement to the Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund of the Court, it shall pay interest on the amount owed, corresponding to banking interest on arrears in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
