Gabriela Cuevas Jaramillo to take part in the public hearing.
382. On January 15, 2018, a disbursements report was forwarded to the State as established in
article 5 of the Rules for the Operation of this Fund. Thus, the State had the opportunity to
present its observations on the disbursements made in this case, which amounted to
US$4,214.20 (four thousand two hundred and fourteen United States dollars and twenty cents).
Mexico indicated that it had no observations to make in this regard.
383. Based on the violations declared in this judgment and compliance with the requirements for

twenty cents) for the expenditure incurred. This sum must be reimbursed within six months of
notification of this judgment.
