that it had no observations on the expenditures made in application of the Victims' Legal
Assistance Fund.
150. As the State had no objections, in view of the violations recognized and declared in
this judgment, the Court orders the State to reimburse the sum of US$2,718.75 (two
thousand seven hundred and eighteen dollars of the United States of America and seventeen
cents) to the fund for the expenses incurred. This sum must be reimbursed within six months
of notification of this judgment.
I.
Method of compliance with the payments ordered
151. The State shall make the payments for compensation of pecuniary and non-pecuniary
damage, as established in this judgment, directly to the persons and institutions indicated
herein, within one year of notification of this judgment, or it may bring forward the full
payment, pursuant to the following paragraphs.
152. If the beneficiaries are deceased or die before they receive the respective
compensation, this shall be delivered directly to their heirs, in accordance with applicable
domestic law.
153. The State shall comply with the monetary obligations by payment in United States
dollars or, if this is not possible, in the equivalent in Argentine currency, using the highest
and most beneficial rate for the beneficiaries allowed by its domestic law at the time of the
payment to make the respective calculation. During the stage of monitoring compliance with
the judgment, the Court may make a prudent readjustment of the equivalent of the
respective sums in Argentine currency in order to avoid exchange variations substantially
affecting their purchasing power.
154. If, for causes that can be attributed to the beneficiaries, it is not possible to pay the
amounts established within the indicated timeframe, the State shall deposit the said amount
in their favor in a deposit account or certificate in a solvent Argentine financial institution, in
United States dollars, and in the most favorable financial conditions permitted by banking
laws and practice. If the corresponding amount is not claimed after ten years, the amounts
shall be returned to the State with the interest accrued.
155. The amounts allocated in this judgment as compensation for pecuniary and nonpecuniary damage, and to reimburse costs and expenses, shall be delivered in full to the
persons and organizations indicated, as established in this judgment, without any
deductions arising from possible taxes or charges.
156. If the State should fall in arrears, including in the reimbursement of expenses to the
Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund, it shall pay interest on the amount owed corresponding to
banking interest on arrears in the Argentine Republic.
