VII. RECOMMENDATIONS 141. In consideration of the foregoing conclusions, THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STATE OF ECUADOR: 1. Reinstate the victims in the judiciary, if they so wish, in positions similar to those that they held, with the same remuneration, social benefits, and rank comparable to that they would hold today if their functions had not been terminated. If, for grounded reasons, reinstatement is not possible, the State shall pay reasonable indemnification to the victims or, if applicable, to their assigns. 2. Pay the victims the professional wages and/or social benefits they failed to receive from the time of their termination up to the moment they are reinstated or the alternative indemnification described in the previous recommendation is paid. 3. Adopt measures of nonrepetition, including the measures necessary so that domestic law and applicable practice obey clear criteria and ensure guarantees in the appointment, tenure, and removal of judges, in accordance with the standards established in the American Convention.
