41 B) PECUNIARY DAMAGE 146. Pecuniary damage purports a loss or detriment to the victims’ income, the expenses made as a result of the events and the pecuniary consequences of the facts of the instant case. The Court will establish the compensations to be paid for the violations declared in this Judgment,74 based on the State’s acknowledgment of liability, the circumstances of the case, the evidence submitted, the arguments of the parties and the criteria established in the Court’s precedents.75 147. The Court will not analyze the loss of income suffered by the minor VargasAreco. The events that may purport a violation of the child’s rights occurred before the State recognized the jurisdiction of the Court. Moreover, the parties have not alleged that the relatives of the minor Vargas-Areco suffered a loss of income as a result of the violations declared in the instant case; therefore, the Court will not assess any amount to be paid in that regard. 148. The Court recognizes that the relatives of Gerardo Vargas-Areco incurred in expenses upon offering Gerardo a proper burial. Therefore, the Court has decided to order payment of compensation, determined on equitable grounds, in the amount of US$ 3,000 (three thousand United States dollars) or its equivalent in Paraguayan currency. Said amount must be delivered to the parents of Gerardo Vargas-Areco in equal parts. C) NON-PECUNIARY DAMAGE 149. Non-pecuniary damage may include distress and suffering resulting from violations, tampering with the victim’s core values, and changes of a non-pecuniary nature in the person’s everyday life. Given that it is not possible to assess the value of non-pecuniary damage in a precise monetary equivalent, the Court must order other means to redress in full the damage sustained. Firstly, said compensation will be made effective by paying an amount of money to be reasonably determined at the Court’s discretion, based on equity principles. Secondly, said compensation will be made effective through public actions or works, such as the publication of an official message repudiating the human rights violations at stake and committing to prevent similar violations in the future. These acts are aimed at restoring the victims’ memory, recognizing their dignity and comforting their relatives.76 The first aspect of the reparation of non-pecuniary damage will be analyzed in this section and the second aspect in the section on other forms of reparation. 150. Judgments, pursuant to repeated international precedents, constitute in and of themselves a form of reparation.77 However, owing to the circumstances of the 74 Cf. Case of Montero-Aranguren et al.
