132 290. As the Court has stated on previous occasions,299 legal costs and expenses are included under the concept of reparation embodied in Article 63(1) of the American Convention, because the activities carried out by the next of kin of the victim with the aim of attaining justice, both under domestic and international jurisdiction, entail disbursements which should be compensated for when the State is found to be internationally responsible by means of a condemnatory judgment. As regards its reimbursement, it is for the Court to prudently assess its scope, including expenses incurred before the authorities under domestic jurisdiction and those incurred in the course of the proceeding before the inter-American system, bearing in mind the circumstances of the specific case and the nature of international jurisdiction for the protection of human rights.300 This assessment can be based on the principle of fairness and take into account the expenses stated by the parties, insofar as their quantum is reasonable.301 291. For this, the Court deems it equitable to order payment of a total sum of US$163,000.00 (one hundred and sixty-three thousand United States dollars) for legal costs and expenses incurred by the representatives of the victim in the domestic proceedings and in the international proceeding before the inter-American system for protection of human rights. The corresponding payment must be distributed as follows: a) US$145,000.00 (one hundred and forty-five thousand United States dollars) to the Myrna Mack Foundation; b) US$5,000.00 (five thousand Committee for Human Rights; United States dollars) to Lawyers c) US$5,000.00 (five thousand United States dollars) to the law firm Wilmer, Cutler and Pickering; d) US$5,000.00 (five thousand United States dollars) to the law firm Hogan & Hartson; y e) US$3,000.00 (three thousand United States dollars) to CEJIL. 292. As a consequence of the impunity that exists in the instant case and of the reparations ordered by this Court, in the future the Myrna Mack Foundation must take a number of steps pertaining to the ongoing criminal proceeding to punish all those responsible for what happened to Myrna Mack Chang. Therefore, to cover said future expenses, the Court grants the aforementioned Foundation, in fairness, US$5,000.00 (five thousand United States dollars). XVI METHOD OF COMPLIANCE 299 Cf.
