23 not been killed. To that end, the Court decided to make inquiries in order to estimate the income that the victims would have earned during the month of June, 1993, based on the economic activities pursued by each of them. That particular month was selected because it was then that a free exchange market was established in Suriname. In determining the amount of reparations, this made it possible to avoid the distortions produced by a system of fixed rates of exchange in the face of the inflationary process affecting the country’s economy. That situation was in fact undermining confidence in long-term projections. In addition, the data provided by the Commission on the victims’ income were not sufficiently documented; it was therefore impossible to use them as the basis for calculation without an in situ verification. 89. The Court calculated the annual income of each victim in Surinamese Florins and then converted it into dollars at the rate of exchange in effect on the free market. The annual figure was used to determine the wages that would have accrued during the period from 1988 to 1993, including both of those years. Interest was added as compensation to the sum obtained for each victim, in keeping with the rates in effect on the international market. The resulting amount was increased by the current net value of the expected income during the rest of the working life of each of the victims. In the case of Mikuwendje Aloeboetoe, an adolescent, it was assumed that he would begin to earn a living at the age of 18 and would receive an income similar to that of those listed as construction workers. 90. The calculations made on the basis of the preceding paragraphs produced the following results: Daison Aloeboetoe Deede-Manoe Aloeboetoe Mikuwendje Aloeboetoe Richenel Voola Indie Hendrik Banai Bernard Tiopo Asipee Adame US$ 29,173.26,504.35,988.19,986.55,991.22,716.42,060.- 91. As regards the reparations for moral damages, the Court believes that, bearing in mind the economic and social position of the beneficiaries, such reparations should take the form of a lump sum payment in the same amount for all the victims, with the exception of Richenel Voola, who was assigned reparation that exceeded that of the others by one third. As has already been stated, Richenel Voola was subjected to greater suffering as a result of his agony. There is nothing to indicate that there were any differences in the injuries and ill-treatment suffered by the other victims. 92. For lack of other data and because it considers it fair, the Court has accepted the total amount claimed by the Commission for moral damages. The amounts in Sf that the Commission claims for each victim have been adjusted by a coefficient representing the fluctuation of domestic prices in Suriname over the period in question. The value in florins was converted into dollars at the free market rate of exchange and then increased to include compensatory interest, calculated at
