53 128. Based on the foregoing, the Court considers that the financial standing of the members of the family of Mr. Santiago Gómez-Palomino was seriously affected due to the events in the instant case, and that Mrs. Victoria Margarita Palomino-Buitrón ceased to receive her regular income for a year, all of which resulted from the facts forming the subject matter of the instant case. Consequently, and bearing in mind the particular circumstances of the case sub judice, the Court fixes on equitable grounds, a compensation amounting US $21.000,00 (twenty-one thousand United States dollars), or its equivalent in Peruvian currency, to be distributed, in equal shares, among Mrs. Victoria Margarita Palomino-Buitrón, Mrs. María Dolores GómezPalomino and Mrs. Luzmila Sotelo-Palomino. 129. Pursuant to the aforementioned, this Court fixes, on equitable grounds, the amount of compensation for pecuniary damage according to the following table: BENEFICIARIES Santiago Gómez-Palomino Victoria Margarita Palomino-Buitrón María Dolores Gómez-Palomino Luzmila Sotelo-Palomino TOTAL AMOUNT B) US US US US US CANTIDAD $50,000.00 $8,000.00 $8,000.00 $8,000.00 $74,000.00 NON PECUNIARY DAMAGE 130. Non pecuniary damage may include distress, suffering, tampering with the core values of the victim and of his next of kin, and changes of a non pecuniary nature in the person’s or his family’s everyday life. As it is impossible to ascertain the monetary value of the non pecuniary damage sustained, for the purposes of full reparation to the victims, it may be carried out in two ways. On the one hand, by paying the victim an amount of money or by delivering property or services the worth of which may be established in money, as the Court may determine exercising reasonably its judicial discretion and applying equitable standards;81 and on the other hand by public actions or works such as the release of an official message of repudiation of the violations of the human rights involved in the instant case and the commitment to endeavor to avoid new violations of human rights, the effect of which will be to publicly recognize the victim’s dignity and to comfort the victim’s next of kin. The first aspect of the reparation of non pecuniary damage will be analyzed in this Article, and the second one, in Article C) of this chapter. 131. The judgment, according to repeated international precedents, constitutes, in and of itself, a form of reparation.82 However, owing to the circumstances of the instant case, the suffering the events have caused the victim and his next of kin, the changes in their way of life and the other consequences of a non pecuniary nature they bore, the Inter-American Court considers it must order the payment of 81 Cf.
