The State argued that “the amount of the compensation should be taken into account [,] since the chronic financial difficulties it faces are already widely known.” Likewise, it pointed out that the “programs implemented by [the] government regarding the compensation of the victims of the internal armed conflict, have been created according to [the] economic possibilities, in a continuous, permanent, long term effort to repair, in a pecuniary, manner the victims or the victims next of kin.” Therefore, it requested that “the economic reparation […] be set in consideration of the economic situation of the State, having as an option, the ability to make the payment through [PNR].” 265. The Court finds that the actions and procedures carried out by the next of kin of Mr. Chitay Nech to locate him, generated expenses that shall be considered as consequential damages, in particular, those referring to the actions of the search for his whereabouts that will be included when establishing the corresponding compensation in the present Section. Nevertheless, regarding the aforementioned loss of property that, according to the representatives, Mr. Chitay Nech had at the moment the facts occurred, the Tribunal points out that it has previously decided not to refer to the alleged violation of Article 21 of the American Convention (supra paras. 29 and 30), and thus it is not possible to establish an amount of compensation in this regard. 266. Consequently, the Court establishes in equity a compensation of US$ 1,000.00 (one thousand Dollars of the United States of America), as compensation for the concept of consequential damages. The aforementioned amount shall be distributed equally among each one of the sons and the daughter, and shall be delivered to each one of them within a term of one year after the notification of the present Judgment. ii) Loss of earnings 267.

In consideration of the foregoing, for the concept of loss of earnings, they requested the amount of US$185,000.00 (one hundred eighty five thousand Dollars of the United States of America).” Later, in their brief of final arguments, they requested the Court to order the State: a) the designation of an actuarial between the parties, to determine the value of the loss of earnings for the agriculture and lumber activities of Mr. Chitay Nech, taking into account the number of hectares of land, the products typically cultivated between 1981 and today, as well as the level of productivity of the area. The foregoing, departing from the amount of US$1,000.00 (one thousand Dollars of the United States of America); b) the amount of US$20,000.00 (twenty thousand Dollars of the United States of America) for the earnings that he would have received as a member of the Integral Cooperative R.L., and c) the amount of US$129,310.00 (one hundred twenty nine thousand, three hundred ten Dollars of the United States of America) for the earnings that he would have obtained, since he had great chances of becoming a congressman. Consequently, for this same concept they requested the amount of US$497,310.00 (four hundred ninety seven thousand, three hundred ten Dollars of the United States of America) in favor of Florencio Chitay Nech, to be paid equally among his sons and daughter. 268.
