d) US$1,500 (one thousand five hundred United States dollars) for Romina Beatriz Muñoz, former partner of César Alberto Mendoza, and for Jorgelina Díaz, partner of Claudio David Núñez. 355. In addition, the Court considers it pertinent to order an additional amount of US$3,500 (three thousand five hundred United States dollars) to each of Ricardo Videla’s parents for the sufferings caused by the absence of a diligent investigation into his death (supra paras. 109 to 125 and 213 to 227). Finally, with regard to Ailén Isolina Mendoza, Samira Yamile Mendoza, and Santino Geanfranco Mendoza, children of César Alberto Mendoza; Zahira Lujan Núñez, daughter of Claudio David Núñez; and Lucas Lautaro Mendoza, son of Lucas Matías Mendoza, the Court finds that the Judgment constitutes per se a form of reparation for them. 414 E. Costs and expenses E.1. Pleadings of the representative 356. The representative requested the reimbursement of 39,429 Argentine pesos corresponding to the disbursements she had incurred during the international litigation, and that had not been covered by the Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund. This amount corresponds to 2,500 Argentine pesos for “[o]ffice expenses”; 10,551 Argentine pesos for travel and per diems for meetings with the victims in the provinces of La Pampa and Mendoza during the preparation of the expert opinions, and 26,378 Argentine pesos for the expenses incurred by officials from the national Ombudsman’s Office during the visit to Costa Rica for the public hearing held in this case. 357. The Commission did not submit any observations in this regard. The State indicated that it was “surprised [that the representative had] request[ed] reimbursement of costs and expenses], because [the amounts claimed] c[ame] from the budget of the Argentine State.” E.2. Considerations of the Court 358. As the Court has indicated, costs and expenses are part of the concept of reparation, because the victims’ activities to obtain justice at both the national and the international level involve disbursements that must be compensated when the international responsibility of the State is declared in a judgment. 359. However, in this case, the Court observes that the representative of the victims is the head of the Argentine national Office of the Ombudsman, which is an organ of the State. The representative did not justify how, despite this circumstance, it would be appropriate to reimburse the amounts requested. Therefore, the Court will not order the reimbursement of the expenses claimed. F. Other measures of reparation requested 360. The representative asked the Court to order the State to release the victims by commuting the sentences, and to eliminate their names from the criminal records; to grant them housing and facilities for work and study; to prepare and implement educational, training and employment programs during the prison and post-prison stages; to prepare and implement plans that encourage the strengthening of the ties between individuals 414 Cf.
