the nature of international jurisdiction for the protection of human rights. This assessment can be done on the basis of the principle of equity and taking into consideration the expenses declared by the parties, provided the amounts are reasonable. 269 194. This Court has indicated that “the claims of the victims or their representatives with regard to costs and expenses, and the evidence to support them, must be submitted to the Court at the first procedural opportunity granted to them; that is, in the pleadings and motions brief, without prejudice to such claims being updated subsequently, in keeping with the new costs and expenses incurred during the proceedings before this Court.” 270 The Court also reiterates that it is not sufficient merely to forward evidentiary documents; rather, the parties are required to include arguments that relate the evidence to the facts that they represent and, in the case of alleged financial disbursements, clearly specify the items and their justification. 271 195. Taking into consideration the amounts requested by the representatives and the payment receipts submitted, the Court orders the payment in equity of USD 25,000.00 (twenty-five thousand dollars) to the Center for Justice and International Law and USD 7,500.00 (seven thousand five hundred dollars) to the Pastoral Land Commission—both amounts for costs and expenses. These sums shall be sent directly to the Center for Justice and International Law and the Pastoral Land Commission respectively. 196. Finally, regarding the statement of the representatives that the State should cover future expenses incurred in connection with the compliance monitoring stage of the judgment at the national and international levels, and the request that this Court establish an amount for expenses during the compliance monitoring stage of this judgment, as it has done in other cases, 272 this Court holds that during the compliance monitoring stage of this judgment, it will be able to order the State to reimburse the victims or their representatives for reasonable expenses incurred during that procedural stage. H. Method of compliance with the payments ordered 197. The State shall pay compensation for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage as well as the reimbursement of costs and expenses established in the present judgment directly to the individuals and organizations indicated in the same, within one year of the notification of this judgment, without prejudice to making the full payments in advance, under the terms of the following paragraphs. Regarding the compensation payments for Geraldo Gomes Pimenta, Maria da Glória Sales Pimenta, and José Sales Pimenta, the State shall remit them to their heirs in accordance with applicable domestic law within one year of the date of notification of this judgment. 198. In the event that other beneficiaries die before their respective compensation is rendered to them, the compensation will be made directly to their heirs in accordance with applicable domestic law. 199. The State shall comply with its monetary obligations by payment in United States dollars or the equivalent in the national currency, calculated using the published market exchange rate or calculated by a relevant banking or financial authority, on the date closest to the payment date.
