The Court reiterates that, based on its case law,316 costs and expenses form part of the concept of reparation, because the activities deployed by the victims in order to obtain justice, at both the national and the international level, entail disbursements that must be compensated when the international responsibility of a State has been declared in a judgment. Regarding the reimbursement of costs and expenses, it is for the Court to make a prudent assessment of their scope, which includes the expenses generated before the authorities of the domestic jurisdiction and those incurred during the process before the inter-American system, taking into account the circumstances of the specific case and the nature of the international jurisdiction for the protection of human rights. This assessment may be made based on the equity principle and taking into account the expenses indicated by the parties, provided their quantum is reasonable.317 275. This Court has indicated that “the claims of the victims or their representatives with regard to costs and expenses, and the evidence to support them, must be submitted to the Court at the first procedural opportunity granted to them; that is, in the pleadings and motions brief, without prejudice to these claims being updated subsequently in keeping with the new costs and expenses incurred under the proceedings before this Court.”318 The Court also reiterates that it not sufficient merely to forward probative documents; rather, the parties are required to include arguments that relate the evidence to the fact that it is considered to represent and, in the case of alleged financial disbursements, that the items and their justification are clearly established.319 276.
