140 work is $31,200.00 (thirty-one thousand two hundred Mexican pesos) a year, in other words, $2,600.00 (two thousand six hundred Mexican pesos) a month. The State indicated that Esmeralda Herrera died in November 2001, when the average life expectancy in Mexico for women was 76.7 years, according to the National Institute of Geographic and Statistical Information (INEGI)546 and that, taking into account that the victim was 15 years of age when her death occurred, the State considered that, as a result of the death of Esmeralda Herrera, the loss of earnings to her next of kin is $1,903,200.00 (one million nine hundred and three thousand two hundred Mexican pesos). 574. Regarding Claudia Ivette González, the State alleged that she was known to work in a “maquiladora” company and established that, estimating what she would have been receiving at the time of her death and what is currently paid for this type of labor, her approximate total salary was $31.200.00 (thirty-one thousand two hundred Mexican pesos) a year. Taking into account the life expectancy in Mexico and considering that the victim was 20 years old at the time of her death, the State indicated that the loss of earnings to the next of kin of Claudia Ivette González amounts to $1,747,200.00 (one million seven hundred and forty-seven thousand two hundred Mexican pesos). 575. In relation to Laura Berenice Ramos, the State alleged that it had information that she “was not working” prior to her death. However, in this case, the State based its calculation on the same annual earnings as it had considered for the two previous victims; namely $31,200.00 (thirty-one thousand two hundred Mexican pesos) a year. Taking into account the life expectancy and that the victim was 17 years old when her death occurred, the State considered that the loss of earnings to the victim’s next of kin amounts to $1,840,800.00 (one million eight hundred and forty thousand eight hundred Mexican pesos). 576. The Court observes that: (i) the average life expectancy figures presented by the representatives and the State both refer to the same national source, since they obtained their data from INEGI and the United Nations Development Program for the Mexican National Population Council (hereinafter the “CONAPO”); (ii) the average life expectancies differ by 1.2 years, with the State’s proposal being lower. However, according to the CONAPO’s basic indicators, the average life expectancy of women in the State of Chihuahua in 2001 was 76.97; (iii) Mss. Herrera, González and Ramos, were aged 15, 20 and 17 years at the time of their disappearance, and (iv) neither the monthly wage of each victim proposed by the representatives nor the monthly wage proposed by the State are supported by any evidence. 577. Based on the foregoing, the Tribunal concludes that the State’s offer to compensate loss of earnings (supra para. 573, 574 and 575) is adequate. It therefore takes it into account and, in equity, decides to establish the following amounts that the State must grant: Victim Esmeralda Herrera Monreal Claudia Ivette González Laura Berenice Ramos Monárrez Amount US $145,500.00 US $134,000.00 US $140,500.00 578. These amounts shall be distributed in accordance with the laws on inheritance currently in force in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. 546 For the life expectancy rates in Mexico for women, the State referred to the official page of the National Institute of Geographical and Statistical Information (INEGI): www.inegi.gob.mx. This page shows that the average life expectancy was taken from the National Population Council of Mexico (CONAPO).
