145 protection of human rights. This assessment can be based on the principle of fairness and take into account the expenses declared by the parties, insofar as their quantum is reasonable. 329. In the matter of recognition of costs and expenses, legal assistance to the victims does not begin at the reparations phase; instead, it begins when the case is before the domestic courts and continues through the successive stages of the interAmerican system for the protection of human rights, in other words, the proceedings before the Commission and before the Court. For purposes of the instant case, costs also begin with the attempts to get the case before the domestic courts and proceedings before the two bodies at the international level: the Commission and the Court.230 330. In the instant case, the Court deems it fair and just to order, in equity, the following sums for costs and expenses: the sum of US$ 5,000.00 (five thousand United States dollars) or its equivalent in the State’s national currency, which amount is to be paid to the Tekojojá Foundation for its role in filing the petition of generic habeas corpus and the petition filed with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights; and the sum of US$ 12,500.00 (twelve thousand five hundred United States dollars) or its equivalent in the State’s national currency, which is to be paid to the Center for Justice and International Law (CEJIL) for litigating the case before the Inter-American Commission and the Inter-American Court. The Court has decided that the sums in question are to go directly to the two organizations in question, owing to the absence of a single representative for all the parties and because the victims are so many in number and so widely scattered. XV MANNER OF COMPLIANCE 331. To comply with the present Judgment, the State is to pay the compensation (supra paragraphs 294 and 309) and reimburse the costs and expenses (supra para. 330) within one year of the date of this Judgment’s notification.

The medical and psychological treatment ordered (supra paragraphs 318 and 319) is to begin immediately upon the formation of the committee. Within 15 days, the State must comply with the measure ordering a place for the remains of Mario del Pilar Álvarez Pérez (supra para. 322). 332. Payment of the compensations ordered for the victims will be done in accordance with paragraphs 271 to 282 of the present Judgment. 333. The payments for reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred in steps taken by the representatives under domestic jurisdiction and in the international proceedings before the inter-American system for the protection of human rights will be made to said representatives (supra para. 330). 230 Cf.
