44 158. As ordered in other cases124, the Court also requires the State to adopt necessary measures to train and educate prosecutors and judges, including officers of military criminal courts, on international standards related to the judicial protection of human rights. As such, the State shall also implement, within a reasonable time, permanent programs of education in human rights for the aforementioned officers. D) LEGAL FEES AND EXPENSES 159. As previously indicated by the Court, costs and expenses are contemplated within the concept of reparations enshrined in Article 63(1) of the American Convention125. 160. The Court takes into account that the Comisión Ecuménica de Derechos Humanos (CEDUH) has incurred expenses in order to bring this case before the Inter-American Commission and before this Court. Likewise, the Court notes that the CEDUH “has as its mission the defence of victims or their families, free of cost, before state authorities or before the Inter-American system; nevertheless, as an original petitioner it has incurred expenses in order to bring this case throughout the proceedings” before the Inter-American system. For that reason, the CEDUH considered that US$10,000.00 was a “reasonable amount,” although it asked to be allowed to present evidence on its future expenses. In its final written arguments, the CEDUH presented evidence on some expenses, which would add up to a total of US$1,871.63 for its most recent expenditures. Hence, even though the representatives solicited reimbursement of their costs and expenses, they only presented before this Court some documents evidencing those costs and expenses incurred in bringing this case before the Court. 161. Considering the foregoing, the Court fixes in equity the amount of US$10,000.00 (ten thousand United States dollars) to be reimbursed by the State to the CEDUH, in order to compensate the costs made throughout the proceedings before the Inter-American system. 162. The State shall make the payment for costs and expenses within one year of the notification of the present Judgment. E) TERMS OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE PAYMENTS ORDERED 163. Payment of compensations ordered in favor of the family members of Mr. Wilmer Zambrano Vélez, Mr. José Miguel Caicedo Cobeña and Mr. Segundo Olmedo Caicedo Cobeña shall be made directly to these individuals. With regard to compensations ordered in favor of minors, the State shall deposit the said amounts in a solvent Ecuadorian banking institution. The deposit shall be made within one year, in the most favorable financial conditions allowed by the legislation and banking practice, and for as long as the beneficiaries remain minors. The amounts might be claimed by these persons once they reach majority, if applicable, or before then if it is in the child’s best interest, as determined by a competent judicial authority. If the compensation has not been claimed once ten years have been elapsed from the date on which the individual reached majority, the amount shall be returned to the State, with the interests accrued. 124 Cf.
