107 Commission, and such costs as may arise from the prosecution of the case before the Court. 230. Arguments of the victim’s representatives a) Mr. Palamara-Iribarne, the person directly affected by the facts that constituted a violation of his rights, is to be provided reparation; b) regarding compensation for pecuniary damage, the Court was requested to set an amount based on equitable standards, “on a prudential basis.” In the instant case, consequential damages consist in “the expenses arising directly from the loss of the forfeited property.” Furthermore, “compensation must be awarded for costs related to his loss of tax benefits upon losing his status as a civil servant hired as contractor;” c) regarding non pecuniary damage, the victim’s representatives requested that the Court set compensation “on a prudential basis” for the damage suffered by the victim as a result of “being censured, arrested, held in remand custody, prosecuted in the context of two judicial proceedings that did not guarantee due process of law, and having a criminal record that still reflects two criminal convictions.” “Linking non pecuniary damage to pure pain or suffering sustained by a person as a result of the harm caused excessively restricts this concept, thus depriving the Inter-American Court of a tool that allows the reparation of all damage.” The State is under a duty to compensate for non pecuniary damage caused by the “radical disruption” of the victim’s family life, as evidenced by his being forced to move far away from his wife and children, and his incapacity to reenter the job market to practice his profession, all of which started upon the commencement of the criminal proceeding; d) as to the measures of satisfaction and non-repetition guarantees, the representatives requested that the Court order the State: 1) to adapt its domestic laws to international standards, in a manner such that military justice will operate as an exceptional system applicable to the military regarding crimes committed in the exercise of their duties; 2) to publicly acknowledge its responsibility for the violation of the victim’s rights, by publication of such acknowledgement in the “El Mercurio de Valparaíso” newspaper, as well as in armed-forces publications; 3) to return the books to Mr. Palamara and allow publication thereof; 4) to remove the effects of the judgments of conviction rendered against Mr. Palamara-Iribarne, invalidating any and all consequences thereof; e) regarding costs and expenses, the representatives stated that the total duration of the domestic proceedings was four years, during which Mr. Palamara-Iribarne incurred expenses arising from the various briefs filed with the lower courts and the cassation and complaint appeals. Furthermore, they requested reimbursement of US$ 5,425.27 as costs and expenses incurred by the representatives;223 and 223 They claim that such amount breaks down into the following expenses: 1) preparation of notarial copies of witness and expert statements filed with the Inter-American Court: US$ 372.24; 2) telephone, fax and mail costs: US$ 785.36; 3) air fare, traveling allowance and accommodation for one attorney
