With regard to the beneficiaries, the Commission indicated that Mr. Raxcacó Reyes is the beneficiary of the reparations ordered by the Inter-American Court. 118. Regarding pecuniary damage, the Commission stated that it did not consider that compensation for this concept was applicable in the instant case. 119. However, regarding non-pecuniary damage, the Commission alleged that it was pertinent for the Court to order the State to pay compensation, based on the principle of equity, to repair the damage inflicted on Mr. Raxcacó Reyes for this concept. 120. Also, regarding other forms of reparation, the Commission requested the Court to order the State: (a) To adopt any legislative or other measures necessary to ensure that the death penalty is imposed with strict respect for the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Convention; (b) To adapt its domestic laws to the Convention, in order to guarantee the rights embodied therein; (c) To reform Article 201 of the Penal Code, in order to define different categories of kidnapping, according to the gravity of the facts, taking into account the circumstances of the crime and of the person responsible; (d) To abstain from applying Article 201 of the Penal Code, while the said reforms are being effected; (e) To regulate the remedy of pardon or commutation of sentence; (f) To adapt the prison regime conditions to the international standards applicable in this sphere; and (g) To declare the nullity of the sentence and to decide another one which imposes on Mr. Raxcacó Reyes a punishment proportionate to the nature and gravity of the crime committed. 121. Lastly, the Commission requested the Court to order the State to assume the payment of the costs and expenses in which Mr. Raxcacó Reyes incurred in processing the case at both the national level and before the inter-American system for the protection of human rights.
