of US$9,000.00 (nine thousand United States dollars) for costs and expenses in favor of REDRESS; a total of US$3,000.00 (three thousand United States dollars) for costs and expenses in favor of CNDDHH, and a total of US$14,000.00 (fourteen thousand United States dollars) for costs and expenses in favor of Promsex. These amounts shall be delivered directly to the said organizations. At the stage of monitoring compliance with this judgment, the Court may determine that the State reimburse the victims or their representatives any reasonable expenses incurred at that procedural stage.320 H. Reimbursement of the Victims’ Legal Assistance Fund 277. In the instant case, in a note of August 7, 2019, the President of the Court declared that the request presented by the presumed victim, through her representatives, to access the Legal Assistance Fund was admissible. In an order of July 10, 2019, the Court’s President at the time, established that the Fund would provide the financial assistance necessary to cover the expenses of the appearance of the presumed victim at the public hearing and the presentation of two statements by affidavit. 278. On July 18, 2019, the representatives asked the Court to reconsider this decision because, for reasons beyond her control, the presumed victim could not attend the hearing; therefore, they asked the Court to receive a witness. In an order of August 26, 2019, the Court decided to accept the representatives’ request. 321 In light of the impossibility of the presumed victim attending the hearing, and the Court’s reconsideration order in this regard (supra para. 10), on the instructions of the President, the parties and the Commission were notified that the Victim’s Legal Assistance Fund would cover the travel and accommodation costs for Víctor Álvarez to appear before the Court. 279. On November 29, 2019, in keeping with article 5 of the Rules for the Operation of the said Fund, a disbursements report was sent to the State; thus, the State had the opportunity to present its observations on the disbursements made in this case which amount to US$886.23 (eight hundred and eighty-six United States dollars and twenty-three cents). 280. The State argued that the purpose of the Court’s reconsideration order was to modify how Víctor Álvarez would present his statement and, since this was not a substitution, it did not correspond to the Victim’s Legal Assistance Fund to cover these expenses. In addition, it indicated that the representatives’ request should have been forwarded to the State for the corresponding observations. Also, “regarding the reimbursement of the expenses incurred in the notarization of the expert opinion of Nora Sveaass, the State notes that the Court has not forwarded the documentation on the amounts that have been reimbursed to the representatives; thus, it does not have the necessary elements to make observations.” 281. This Court notes, first that decisions on the admissibility of access to the Victims’ Assistance Fund and determination of the expenses to be covered by the Fund correspond to the President of the Court. Therefore, it is not necessary to forward this information to the State so that it may submit observations. Also, in this case, following the change in the way in which the statement by Víctor Álvarez was presented, it was not necessary to forward the representatives’ request to the State, nor was it relevant that the statement by Víctor Álvarez did not substitute the statement of the presumed victim. Second, the Court notes that the documentation relating to the expenditure for notarizing the expert opinion of Nora Sveaass Cf. Case of Ibsen Cárdenas and Ibsen Peña v. Bolivia.
