-133person causes their children, spouse or companion, mother, father and siblings a non-pecuniary damage that need not be proved.260 258. International case law has established repeatedly that the judgment constitutes per se a form of reparation. However, owing to the gravity of the facts in the instant case and the situation of partial impunity, the intensity of the suffering caused to the victims, the alterations in their living conditions, and the other consequences of a non-pecuniary nature, the Court considers it necessary to order the payment of compensation for non-pecuniary damage, based on the principle of equity,261 which must be awarded as stipulated in paragraphs 236, 237 and 240 of this judgment, and in accordance with the following parameters: (a) For each of the 37 victims disappeared and the six deprived of life, the Court established the amount of US$30,000.00 (thirty thousand United States dollars); (b) At the time of their disappearance, three of the victims were minors: Manuel de Jesús Montes Martínez, José Encarnación Barrera Orozco and Miguel Antonio Pérez Ramos. Consequently, it can be presumed that the suffering caused by the facts of the case assumed particularly intense characteristics in their regard. Therefore, the damage referred to in the preceding paragraph must be compensated, based on equity, in each case, with the amount of US$5,000.00 (five thousand United States dollars), which will increase the amount indicated above; (c) For the immediate next of kin of the victims, the Court considers that the corresponding damage must be compensated by payment in their favor of the amounts indicated below: i. US$10,000.00 (ten thousand United States dollars) in the case of the mother, father, wife or permanent companion and each child of the 37 victims disappeared; ii. US$8,000.00 (eight thousand United States dollars) in the case of the mother, father, wife or permanent companion and each child of the six victims deprived of life; iii. US$500.00 (five hundred United States dollars) in the case of each sibling of the disappeared and deprived of life, and iv. These amounts will be increased by the payment of US$2,000.00 (two thousand United States dollars) to Macrina Onelia Martínez Paternina, mother of Manuel de Jesús Montes Martínez, Dora Isabel Tuberquia Petro, companion of Genor José Arrieta Lora, Gloria de Jesús Petro Pérez, companion of Luis Miguel Salgado Berrío, and 260 Cf.
