representatives. In addition, the institutional documents with the financial statements and statement of assets of CESPPEDH indicated the amount corresponding to the losses incurred by the organization in 2009. 7. First, the President has verified that the request to use the Court’s Assistance Fund was presented on the appropriate occcasion with the pleadings and motions brief (supra having seen paragraph 2). However, he notes that the representatives made the request on behalf of the presumed victim and of themselves to cover the costs of the litigation. In this regard, the President emphasizes that it has already been indicated that it is the presumed victims “who should benefit from the [Assistance] Fund.” 7 8. To this end, the President considers sufficient the sworn statement provided by Mr. Fornerón and the salary voucher (supra fifth considering paragraph) as evidence of his lack of financial resources to pay certain costs of the litigation of this case before the InterAmerican Court. In addition, he takes note of the institutional documents provided by the representatives. 9. The request to benefit from the Court’s Assistance Fund was presented to cover the costs of travel, transfers, accommodation and meals in San José of the presumed victim, Mr. Fornerón, and of Gustavo Fabián Baridón, both proposed by the representatives to provide testimonial evidence in their pleadings and motions brief, as well as to ensure the presence of both representatives, Margarita Nicoliche and Susana Terenzi, in the eventual public hearing held in this case. 10. The President recalls that the Court’s Assistance Fund is made up of voluntary contributions from cooperating sources (supra second considering paragraph), and that these limited resources are insufficient to cover all the expenses relating to the appearance and eventual presentation of evidence before the Court by the presumed victims and their representatives. Consequently, in each case, the President must assess the request for assistance in relation to the available funds, taking into account the needs for assistance that could arise in other cases before the Court, in order to ensure the proper administration and fair distribution of the Fund’s limited resources. 11. The President takes note that, at the current stage of the proceedings, it has not been determined which of the testimonies offered by the representatives will be received by the Court, or in what form they will be received. 12. Based on the foregoing considerations, the President finds the request of the presumed victims, through their representatives, to use the Legal Assistance Fund of the Court admissible. In view of the resources currently available in the Fund, the presumed victims will be awarded the necessary financial assistance for the presentation, charged to the Fund, of a maximum of two testimonies either by affidavit or at the public hearing, and for the appearance of one of the representatives at the public hearing convened in this case. In addition, the President finds it appropriate to postpone the determination of the specific purpose and object of the financial assistance that will be provided to the presumed victims until such time as the President, or the Court, rules on the admissibility and relevance of the testimonial and expert evidence offered, and the opening of the oral proceedings, in accordance with Article 50(1) of the Court’s own Rules of Procedure, in order to be certain 7 Case of Contreras et al. v.
