57 a) it was opposed to the request to release Luis Alberto CantoralBenavides since it was not obligated to do so until he completed his jail term, and that it was not obligated to compensate him in any way; and b) the payment of expenses should be rejected because Peru is under no obligation to make any payment to the relatives of Luis Alberto CantoralBenavides, or the petitioners or the Inter-American Commission, and because no evidence has been presented to demonstrate the expenses incurred by said relatives and petitioners and the Commission. 194. * * * Article 63(1) of the American Convention states that If the Court finds that there has been a violation of a right or freedom protected by this Convention, the Court shall rule that the injured party be ensured the enjoyment of his right or freedom that was violated. It shall also rule, if appropriate, that the consequences of the measure or situation that constituted the breach of such right or freedom be remedied and that fair compensation be paid to the injured party. 195. The Court deems that the request by the Commission that the Court order the Peruvian State to release Luis Alberto Cantoral-Benavides is no longer of interest, since he was pardoned and has been free since June 25, 1997 (supra para. 63.r.). 196. Also, the Court considers that reparations are in order for the situation created as a result of the violation of the rights specified in this case, which should include fair compensation and the payment of the expenses incurred by the victim or his relatives or the petitioners in connection with this trial. 197. The Court will require sufficient information and evidence in order to set reparations, and, therefore, recommends that the corresponding stage of the proceedings be opened, and commissions its President to adopt such measures as may be necessary.
