for police officers to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.194 166. The Court finds that the issuance of this judgment and the reparations ordered in this chapter are sufficient and adequate to remedy the violations suffered by the victims. As a result, it does not consider it necessary to order the adoption of additional reparations. G. Redress 167. The Commission asked the Court to order the State to pay a fair compensation to adequately repair the human rights violations declared in the Merits Report, including both pecuniary and non-pecuniary reparations. 168. In their final written arguments, the representative requested keeping in mind, for compensation purposes, that Fredy Núñez Naranjo "was the one who contributed with work and money to the household of his parents and siblings." 169. The State did not mention that it had paid any type of indemnity. G.1 Pecuniary Damages 170. This Court has developed in its case law the concept of pecuniary damages and has established that it involves the loss or impairment of the victims' income, expenses made resulting from the events, and pecuniary consequences that have a causal nexus to the facts of the case.195 Likewise, case law has reiterated the compensatory nature of the indemnities, whose nature and amount depend on the damage caused, this means that they are not supposed to enrich or impoverish the victim or their heirs.196 171. Although no evidence was provided regarding the amounts corresponding to pecuniary damage, it is presumable that the relatives of Mr. Fredy Núñez Naranjo incurred various expenses due to his disappearance and search for 22 years. In fact, the Court recalls that, facing the victim's disappearance, his family members, and especially Sixto Núñez, made several inquiries with the authorities. The Court considers that the State must provide compensation for these expenses, as they have a direct causal nexus with the violations in this case. Since there is no evidence to determine the exact amount of expenses incurred by such proceedings, taking into account the particular circumstances of the case, the Court deems it appropriate to set, in equity, the amount of USD $15,000.00 (fifteen thousand United States dollars) as compensation for actual damages, which must be delivered to Mr. Núñez Naranjo's parents, Sixto Núñez and María Gregoria Naranjo, and divided equally. 172. Regarding lost profit, the Court considers that, as it has done in other cases of forced disappearances where the whereabouts of the victim are unknown,197 it is possible to apply the criteria of compensation for lost wages, which includes the income that would have been received Cf.
