68 260. Taking the foregoing considerations into account and the insufficiency of documentary evidence to prove the expenses incurred by the victims and the representative both in the proceedings started before the domestic courts and before the Inter-American system, the Court determines in equity that the State must deliver the amount of US$ 5,000.00 (five thousand United States dollars) to each victim as reimbursement of costs and expenses. This amount shall be delivered within the term of one year from notice of this Judgment and includes any expenses that the victims may incur in the future at the domestic level or during monitoring compliance herewith. In turn, the victims will deliver the amount they deem appropriate to their representative before the domestic courts and the InterAmerican system. 5. Method of Compliance 261. Payment of the amounts set as compensation and as reimbursement of costs and expenses on behalf of Ms. Ruggeri and Messrs. Apitz and Rocha shall be made directly thereto. Should the beneficiaries die before they receive due compensation, it shall be delivered to their successors, pursuant to the applicable domestic legislation.265 262. The State must discharge its pecuniary obligations by tendering United States dollars or an equivalent amount in Venezuelan currency, at the New York, USA, exchange rate for both currencies, as quoted on the day prior to the day payment is made. 263. If the beneficiaries of compensation are unable to receive the payments ordered within the specified term due to causes attributable thereto, the State shall deposit these amounts into an account or certificate of deposit in the beneficiaries’ name with a Venezuelan financial institution, in United States dollars and under the most favorable financial terms permitted by law and banking practice. If after ten years such compensation has not been claimed, these amounts shall be returned to the State together with accrued interest. 264. The amounts awarded herein as compensation for pecuniary and nonpecuniary damages and as reimbursement of costs and expenses shall be paid to the beneficiaries in full and shall not be reduced for tax purposes. 265. Should the State fall into arrears, banking default interest rates in effect in Venezuela shall be paid on the amounts due. 266. In accordance with its usual practice, the Court retains the authority that derives from its jurisdiction and the provisions of Article 65 of the American Convention, to monitor full compliance with this judgment. The instant case shall be closed once the State has fully complied with the provisions herein set forth. Within six months from the date of notice of this judgment, the State shall submit to the Court a report on the measures adopted in compliance herewith. X OPERATIVE PARAGRAPHS 265 Cf.
