19 82. In exercise of its jurisdictional powers, it is up to the Court to make a prudent estimate of the specific extent of the costs that should be ordered, taking into account any receipts and vouchers provided, the particular circumstances of the case, the nature of the jurisdiction for the protection of human rights, and the characteristics of the respective proceedings, which are unique and different from those of other proceedings, both at the domestic and international levels. The Court shall determine the reasonable quantum of the costs incurred by the victims’ families and their attorneys in the proceedings within the Argentine courts, with the InterAmerican Commission and before this Court, on an equitable basis, and consider the "sufficient connection" that must exist between those costs and the results achieved (cf.: European Court of Human Rights, Brincat v. Italy Judgment of November 26, 1992, Series A no. 249-A). 83. In the Court’s view, the method of setting costs as a percentage of the amount of compensation obtained is not adequate. There are other, more important factors to be weighed when assessing the performance of the attorneys in a proceeding before an international tribunal, such as the evidence introduced to demonstrate the facts alleged, full knowledge of international jurisprudence and, in general, everything that would demonstrate the quality and relevance of the work performed. 84. Another factor that needs to be considered to determine the fees of Mr. Varela-Alvarez and Mr. Lavado is that they shared representation of the victims’ families with other attorneys at various stages of the process, both in proceedings in the domestic courts and before the Inter-American bodies. 85. Based on the foregoing, the Court sets costs at the sum of US$45,500 (fourty-five thousand five hundred United States of America dollars); of that amount, US$20,000 (twenty thousand United States of America dollars) is to be the fees for the two attorneys. XI COMPLIANCE WITH THE JUDGMENT 86. To comply with this judgment, the State is to pay, within six months from the date of notification of the judgment, the compensations agreed upon for the adult next of kin; if any one of them has died, his compensation shall pass to his heirs. If one or both children of Mr. Baigorria (supra 55) are minors, the compensation shall be handed over to the person who has patria potestas or guardianship. The minor[s] will receive the indemnity in three equal and consecutive monthly installments. To that end, the State is to deposit the sum of US$40,000 (fourty thousand United States of America dollars) ordered by this Court for the minors, (supra 65) in a savings account in a solvent and sound safe financial institution on the most favorable terms allowed under banking law and practice. If at the end of ten years the indemnity has not been claimed, the sum shall be returned, with interest, to the Argentine State. However, this shall not be interpreted to mean that the right to claim the indemnity will lapse or is time-barred. 87. The State may discharge its obligations by making the payment in United States dollars or an equivalent cash sum in Argentina’s national currency. The exchange rate used to determine the equivalent value shall be the one in effect on the New York market on the day before the date of payment.
