effect, the State should ensure the release of funds in order to establish an operating
budget for the use of the implementation committee in its process of administration
and planning. In particular, the participation of the victims’ representative in the
decision-making process of said committee should not be hindered by the lack of such
operative budget, which shall cover all expenses of the members of the
implementation committee when acting in their official capacities, regardless of their
membership in organizations which have been granted compensation for costs in other
parts of the Court’s Judgment. Also, the State should ensure that the Moiwana

The State informed that it has made payments as compensation for material
and moral damages (supra Having Seen paragraph 10 (c)), although the documents
provided do not contain the names of the individuals to whom the payments have been
made, nor the list of all the payments that have been made in complying with this
order. However, the Representatives have expressed that the victims have received
the compensation ordered by the Court (supra Having Seen paragraph 11 (b)). The

The State has asserted it completed payments for costs to the Forest Peoples
Programme on December 15, 2006, and to Association Moiwana on January 15, 2007
(supra Having Seen paragraph 10b)). The Court notes that no clear information has
been provided regarding the payment for costs corresponding to the organization
Moiwana ’86. However, the Representatives confirmed that “awards of costs have been
disbursed and received” (supra Having Seen paragraph 11 (b)) and the Commission

Judgment. The Tribunal considers that Suriname has complied with Operative
Paragraph 10 of the Judgment.
