11 years of suffering of the victim’s next of kin, even if they are deceased at the moment the Court enters its Judgment.7 Even in cases in which the responsible State and the representatives of the victims reach an agreement on reparations, the State has committed to pay a compensation for non pecuniary damages caused to deceased victims.8 In all these cases the Court has established that the compensation should be paid to the next of kin. 33. The European Court of Human Rights has followed this same criteria upon determining the Compensation for damages suffered by victims who have died, bearing in mind the non pecuniary damages suffered up to the time of their death, and held that the compensation amount be transferred to their heirs through succession.9 34. In several cases, the Inter American Court has also determined the distribution of compensation amounts based on standards that do not necessarily agree with the provisions set forth in the internal laws, for which it has weighted the effects of its rulings against the facts of the case.10 Series C No. 77, para. 88-90 and 91(a); Case of the “Panel Blanca” (Paniagua Morales et al).
