42 stated in chapters VI and VII, as well as the criteria set forth in the Court’s case law regarding the nature and scope of the duty to make reparations.120 A) Injured party 140. The Court considers Carmen Cornejo de Albán and Bismarck Albán-Sánchez to be the “injured party”, as victims of the violations that were found to exist to their detriment (supra paras. 50 and 109), for which they are entitled to the reparations to be established by the Tribunal. B) COMPENSATION 141. The Court has developed the concepts of pecuniary121 and non pecuniary122 damages in its case law, as well as the events in which they ought to be compensated. The Court deems it appropriate to analyze pecuniary and non pecuniary damages together, considering the evidence submitted in the instant case. 142. The Commission and the representatives requested compensation for the expenses incurred by Laura Albán’s parents in their quest for justice for the clarification of their daughter’s death. These expenses cover the actions undertaken to have access to the medical file and “to obtain medical certification of the causes of the death.” The representatives also requested compensation in the amount of US$365,781.00 (three hundred sixty-five thousand, seven hundred and eighty-one US dollars) be paid to Carmen Cornejo de Albán, considering she has received no income since the beginning of 1988, when she stopped practicing her profession as a psychologist. She has been unable to resume her professional activities because she has devoted herself, up until now, to the quest for justice. 143. The representatives requested that compensation be paid for non pecuniary damages caused by the “suffering experienced by Laura [Albán] and her death”, in the amount of US$2,000,000.00 (two million US dollars). Regarding Mrs. Cornejo de Albán, Miss Albán-Cornejo’s mother, they stated that because of what happened to her daughter “she was unable to realize her life aspirations, inasmuch as she stopped practicing her profession and instead devoted her time looking for a fair application of the laws in the instant case and helping others who were undergoing similar situations.” Regarding Bismarck Albán-Sánchez, Miss Albán-Cornejo’s father, the representatives argued that apart from having to bear his own and his family’s 120 Cf.
