54 application to the time of the submission of their written closing arguments. These amounts were: for the expenses of IDHUCA, US$865.00 (eight hundred and sixtyfive United States Dollars, and US$3,365.96 (three thousand three hundred sixtyfive United States Dollars and ninety-six cents) for the expenses of CEJIL. 205. For its part, the State requested that the Court find that there was no reason to award costs. 206. With respect to reimbursement for expenses and costs, the Tribunal has indicated that it is incumbent upon it to prudently assess an appropriate amount, which should include the expenses generated during domestic proceedings, as well as before the Inter-American system, taking into account the circumstances of each case and the nature of an international system for the protection of human rights. This assessment may be undertaken based on the principle of equity and taking into account the expenses indicated by the parties, so long as the quantum is reasonable.115 207. Based on the foregoing, and in consideration of the evidence presented by the common intervener in the present case, the Tribunal, in equity, finds that the State should remit the amount of US$13,000.00 (thirteen thousand United States Dollars) to Gloria Giralt de García Prieto who shall deliver the amount that she deems adequate to her representatives, in order to compensate for the costs and expenses incurred in the domestic proceedings and those before the Inter-American system. The State shall effectuate this payment for costs and expenses within a period of one year counted from notification of the present Judgment. E) Method for the fulfillment of payments ordered 208. The payment of the amounts established in favor of the victims will be made directly to them. In the event that any of these individuals should die before their respective compensation is delivered to him or her, it shall be delivered to his or her successors in interest, in conformity with applicable domestic law.116 209. The payments designed to reimburse the costs and expenses generated in the actions undertaken by the representatives in domestic and international proceedings will be made to the individual who originally made those payments. 210. If, due to causes attributable to the beneficiaries, it is impossible for them to receive the payment within the indicated period of one year, the State shall consign these amount in their name to an account or certificate of deposit in a solvent Salvadoran banking institution with the conditions most favorable permitted by legislation and banking practices. If the amount has not been claimed after ten years, the corresponding sum will be returned to the State together with the interest generated. 115 Cf.
