104 Legal Assistance Fund (infra paras. 351 to 356). In addition, the representatives submitted some of CEJIL’s internal documents containing details of expenses, without attaching proof of payment in this regard. The aforementioned receipts and documents have not been considered by the Court. 349. The Court confirms that the Asociación Paz y Esperanza did not submit receipts related to costs and expenses beyond those that refer to their attendance at the public hearing held at the seat of the Court. In addition, they included vouchers related to expenses additional to those covered by the Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund of the Inter-American Court for lodging, food and transportation in Lima and Huancavelica for the preparation of Miryam Rebeca Rivera Holguín’s expert opinion, which were taken into account to be included in the calculation, since they entailed expenses related to the litigation of the instant case. For its part, CEJIL submitted receipts for the purchase of airline tickets, hotel accommodation, transportation, food, communication and other expenses incurred for work meetings held in Peru and at the Commission’s headquarters in Washington, as well as for attending the public hearing held at the seat of the Court. In addition to the foregoing, the Court considers it reasonable to presume that there were other expenses during the years in which CEJIL acted in the litigation of the case at the international level, and the Asociación Paz y Esperanza in the litigation of the case at the domestic and international levels, even though this Court is aware that the domestic criminal proceedings were paralyzed during several periods. 350. Accordingly, the Court orders the State to pay a reasonable sum of USD $10,000.00 (ten thousand United States dollars) to the Asociación Paz y Esperanza as reimbursement of costs and expenses for the work carried out in the litigation of the case at the national and international level. Likewise, the Court decides to award, in equity, the sum of USD $12,000.00 (twelve thousand United States dollars) to the Center for Justice and International Law (CEJIL) for the reimbursement of costs and expenses for the work carried out in the litigation of the case at the international level. These amounts shall be delivered directly to the aforementioned organizations. During the stage of monitoring compliance with this judgment, the Court may order the State to reimburse the victims or their representatives for any subsequent reasonable and duly proven expenses incurred during this procedural stage. F. Reimbursement of expenses to the Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund 351. In the pleadings and motions brief, the alleged victims requested, through their representatives, to have access to the Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund of the Inter-American Court (hereinafter the “Court’s Assistance Fund” or the “Fund”). In the order of June 9, 2014, the President of the Court established that the Fund would provide the financial assistance necessary for the presentation of a maximum of three statements and an expert opinion, either at a hearing or by affidavit. 383 In an order of December 4, 2014, the President of the Court also ordered financial assistance to cover travel and accommodation expenses to enable Zenón Cirilo Osnayo Tunque and José Pablo Baraybar, the alleged victim and the expert witness, respectively, to appear at the public hearing before the Court. Likewise, financial assistance was ordered to cover the costs of formalizing and sending two statements submitted by affidavit, as determined by the alleged victims. In this regard, the representatives were asked to provide the Court with the names of the two declarants whose affidavits would be covered by the Assistance Fund, as well as to confirm the cost of formalizing an affidavit in their country of residence and sending it to them. 384 352. In a letter dated December 17, 2014, the representatives confirmed the estimate of the cost of formalizing an affidavit in the country of residence of the declarants. In a note of December 19, 2014, the Secretariat pointed out that the representatives did not indicate the names of the 383 Cf. Case of the Peasant Community of Santa Bárbara v. Peru.
