67 reasonable period of time, the measures necessary for the conditions of the prisons to adjust to the international norms of human rights. B) Expenses 131. The Court appraises that Mr. Fermín Ramírez was defended in the internal realm by the Institute of Public Criminal Defense Services, to which a specific public budget is assigned. In the present case, the assistance offered and the expenses assumed by said Institute are included within its obligations and budget. Therefore, the reimbursement of costs and expenses made by the Institute of Public Criminal Defense Services does not proceed. On the other hand, the Court takes into consideration that Mr. Fermín Ramírez also acted before the Commission and the Court through representatives of the Institute of Compared Studies in Criminal Sciences, and that it has presented the corresponding evidence for its request for the reimbursement of expenses (supra para. 54(65)). The Tribunal considers it is fair to order the State to reimburse the amount of US$ 5,000.00 (five thousand United States dollars) or is equivalent in Guatemalan currency, to the Institute of Compared Studies in Criminal Sciences for the expenses it incurred in within the Inter-American realm. XIII MEANS OF COMPLIANCE 132. In order to comply with the instant Judgment, the State must pay the reimbursement of expenses (supra para. 131) within a one-year period as of its notification; and it must adopt the other measures of reparation in the terms of paragraph 130. 133. The State may comply with its obligation of pecuniary nature through payment in United States dollars or in an equal amount in the national currency of the State, using for the corresponding estimate the exchange rate between both currencies in force in the New York Stock Market of the United States of America on the day prior to the payment. 134. If due to causes attributable to the payee of the reimbursement of expenses it is not possible for it to receive it within the mentioned one-year term as of the notification of the instant Judgment, the State will consign said amount in its favour in an account or deposit certificate in a reputable Guatemalan bank, in United States, and under the most favourable conditions allowed by legislation and banking practices. If after ten years the amount corresponding to the reimbursement has not been claimed, it will be returned to the State along with the interests earned. 135. The amount ordered in the present Judgment for reimbursement of expenses may not be affected, reduced, or conditioned due to current or future taxes or charges. Therefore, it must be paid in full to the beneficiary Institute. 136. If the State falls in arrears, it shall pay interests over the amount due, corresponding to the bank interest on arrears in Guatemala. 137. In accordance with its consistent practice, and for the exercise of its powers and the compliance of its duties pursuant to the American Convention, the Court
