22 protection through internal remedies,” including the unsuccessful attempt to file a judicial writ of habeas corpus for Mr. Suárez Rosero. 91. The State did not make reference to the costs and expenses in the domestic arena claimed by Mr. Suárez Rosero. 92. The consistent practice of the Court has been to award the reimbursement of expenses for representations made on behalf of the injured party before the authorities in the domestic jurisdiction. (Garrido and Baigorria, Reparations, supra 40, para. 81, in reference to the Aloeboetoe et al. Case, Reparations (Art. 63(1) American Convention on Human Rights), Judgment of September 10, 1993. Series C. No. 15, para. 94; Caballero Delgado and Santana Case, Reparations, supra 40, para. 47 and the second operative paragraph; El Amparo Case, Reparations, supra 59, para. 21, and Neira Alegría et al. Case, Reparations, supra 40, para. 42). The Court also deems that the reimbursement awarded can be established on an equitable basis, even in the absence of proof as to the precise amount of the expenses claimed. (Ibid, para.42. 93. For these reasons, the Court holds that in this situation it is equitable to award US$ 2,000.00 (two thousand dollars of the United States of America) as reimbursement for the expenses generated by the representations made on behalf of Mr. Suárez Rosero before the domestic courts. B. BEFORE THE INTER-AMERICAN SYSTEM 94. Mr. Suárez Rosero expressly renounced the reimbursement of costs and expenses resulting from the proceedings before the Commission. However, he requested those corresponding to the processing of the case before this Tribunal, which were broken down in the following manner: a. US$ 3,694.80 (three thousand, six hundred ninety-four dollars of the United States of America and eighty cents), for the costs and expenses of his attorney Richard Wilson, which were covered by American University, during the preliminary objections and merits stages; b. US$ 3,200.00 (three thousand, two hundred dollars of the United States of America), for the costs and expenses of attorney Alejandro Ponce Villacís during the preliminary objections and merits stages; c. US$ 1,055.65 (one thousand, fifty-five dollars of the United States of America and sixty-five cents), for the expenses of attorney Richard Wilson during the reparations stage; d. US$ 1,260.00 (one thousand, two hundred sixty dollars of the United States of America), for the costs of the Human Rights Clinic at American University during the reparations stage; e.
