52 179. Based on its precedents, the Court has established various methods to provide for reparation for non-pecuniary damage sustained.221 180. The Commission requested the Court to establish, on an equitable basis, the amount of the compensation to be paid for non-pecuniary damage as a result of the "suffering endured by the relatives of the victim due to lack of an efficient investigation of the events and adequate punishment of those responsible, among other things”. 181. Furthermore, the representatives indicated that “it is evident that the relatives of Mrs. Blanca Jeannette Kawas-Fernández suffered considerably as a result of her death”. In that regard, they requested the Court to establish compensation considering “the pain caused given the violent and sudden nature of the victim's death [;] [as] this event took place while most of her relatives [were] out of Honduras[;] and that [t]he anguish feeling increased as result of the frustration and defenselessness for having her murder go unpunished”. The representatives also requested the Court to consider that her death originated in her capacity as environmental activist”. 182. The State did not submit specific allegations in that regard. 183. In Chapters VII and VIII of this Judgment, the Court concluded that the manner and circumstances in which Mrs. Blanca Jeannette Kawas-Fernández was murdered, and failure by Government authorities to investigate that event as well as the inefficacy of the measures adopted to clarify the events and, if applicable, punish those responsible therefor, have affected the moral and psychological health of the late Jacobo Kawas-Cury, Blanca Fernández, Selsa Damaris and Jaime Alejandro Watt-Kawas, Jacobo Roberto KawasFernández, Jorge Jesús Kawas-Fernández and Carmen Marilena Kawas-Fernández, all of them relatives of Mrs. Blanca Jeannette Kawas-Fernández. 184. Judgments whereby violations of rights are acknowledged, pursuant to repeated international precedents, constitute in and of themselves a form of reparation.222 That notwithstanding, given the circumstances of the instant case, the Court finds that it is appropriate to order payment of a compensation, assessed on an equitable basis, for nonpecuniary damage sustained by the relatives of Mrs. Blanca Jeannette Kawas-Fernández, who are considered victims of violations of the rights enshrined in Articles 5(1), 8(1) and 25(1) of the American Convention, in relation to Article 1(1) thereof (supra paras. 117 to 119 and 131 to 139). Based on the considerations above, the Court orders the State to pay the amount of USD$ 20,000.00 (twenty thousand United States dollars) to the benefit of each of Selsa Damaris and Jaime Alejandro Kawas-Fernández; the amount of USD$ 221 Non pecuniary damage may include distress and suffering caused directly to the victim or its relatives, tampering with individual core values, and changes of a non pecuniary nature in the victim's or relatives' everyday life. Given that it is impossible to assess the value of the non pecuniary damage sustained in a precise equivalent in money, […] compensation may be made effective by paying an amount of money or by delivering property or services whose value may be established in money, as the Court may reasonably determine […] based on equitable standards; and on the other hand by public actions or works aimed at acknowledging the victim's dignity and avoiding new human rights violation.
