11 that the average of the ages of the other two victims be used. However, the Government subsequently produced a statement delivered in Cuzco before the investigation officer [Instructor] at one of the Criminal Investigation Department offices, to the effect that NeiraAlegría was born on February 25, 1944, in Lucanas Province in the Department of Ayacucho. On the basis of that information, the compensation to be paid to the Víctor Neira-Alegría's next of kin is US$26,872.48. VIII 53. The Commission considers that compensation should be paid for the moral damages caused and that it should be added to compensation for the income which the victims' next of kin ceased to receive. The Commission based its argument on this Court's assessments in the Velásquez Rodríguez and Godínez Cruz cases in judgments of July 21, 1989. The Government considers exorbitant the amount of US$125,000.00 being sought by the Commission for each of the families. 54. The Court observes that whereas the Commission did calculate the moral damages on this Court's assessments in the Velásquez Rodríguez and Godínez Cruz cases in judgments of July 21, 1989, it is also a fact that the awards were different in the judgments on reparations in the Aloeboetoe et al. Case (US$29,070.00 for each of six families and US$38,155.00 for the seventh, to which were added other obligations to be discharged by the State) and the El Amparo case (US$20,000.00 for each of the 16 families). 55. The Court is of the opinion that while case law may establish precedents in this regard, it cannot be invoked as an absolute criterion; instead, each case needs to be considered individually. 56. This having been said, there are numerous cases in which other international tribunals have decided that a condemnatory judgment constitutes per se adequate reparation for moral damages, as amply demonstrated by the jurisprudence of, among others, the European Court of Human Rights (arrêt Kruslin du 24 avril 1990, série A No.176-A p. 24 para 39; arrêt McCallum du 30 août 1990, série A No. 183, p. 27, para. 37; arrêt Wassink du 27 septembre 1990, série A No. 185-A, p. 15 para. 41; arrêt Koendjbiharie du 25 octobre 1990, série A No. 185-B, p.42 para. 35; arrêt Darby du 23 octobre 1990, série A No. 187, p. 14 para. 40; arrêt Lala c. Pays-Bas du 22 septembre 1994, série A No. 297-A p. 15 para. 38; arrêt Pelladoah c. Pays-Bas du 22 septembre 1994, série A No. 297-B p. 36, para. 44; arrêt Kroon et autres c. Pays-Bas du 27 octobre 1994, série A No. 297-C p. 59 para. 45; arrêt Boner c. Royaume-Uni du 28 octobre 1994, série A No. 300-B, p. 76, para. 46; arrêt Ruiz Torija c. Espagne du 9 décembre 1994, série A No. 303-A, p. 13, para. 33; arrêt B. contre Autriche du 28 mars 1990, série A No. 175, p. 20, para. 59). However, it is the Court's opinion that although a condemnatory judgment may in itself constitute a form of reparation and moral satisfaction, whether or not there has been recognition on the part of the State, it would not suffice in the instant case, owing to the particular seriousness of the violation of the right to life and of the moral suffering inflicted on the victims and their families, which deserve be paid fair compensation. 57. As this Court has established in the past,
