the Mocoa cemetery. Furthermore, no person has appeared in these proceedings who states that he or she has kinship or any other ties with the deceased. 47. Despite this total lack of information, Colombia is under the obligation to repair the damage caused. Given the circumstances of the case, the Court estimates, in fairness, that the amount of compensation owed by the State is US$ 100,000.00 (one hundred thousand United States dollars), which should be distributed among the heirs according to Colombian inheritance law. The alleged next of kin must appear before the State within 24 months of the date when N.N./Moisés is identified, and must supply authentic evidence of their ties with the victim to receive the respective compensation. IX REPARATIONS FOR INFRINGEMENT OF THE RIGHTS TO FAIR TRIAL AND TO JUDICIAL PROTECTION (Articles 8(1) and 25(1) of the American Convention) Arguments of the representatives of the next of kin of the victims 48. With respect to this point, the representatives of the next of kin of the victims stated that: a) the Court must determine compensation for damage caused to the detriment to the next of kin of the victims for infringement of the rights to fair trial and to judicial protection, in view of several aspects that were not assessed nor reparation ordered for them by the domestic courts, and the judgment on the merits is not, in and of itself, a means of comprehensive reparation of the “moral damage” suffered by the victims of impunity; b) the impact of denial of justice on the next of kin occurred at several moments and is maintained and increased in view of the circumstances they face in their struggle for justice. Feelings of fear and insecurity caused by stigmatization of the next of kin by the authorities as a direct consequence of the suppression of the facts and, as they have stated in their testimony, have grave consequences for their life and personal well-being. The next of kin were followed, suffered surveillance and searches, were the victims of verbal and physical threats and aggressions by members of the police force, the same department to which those responsible for the death of the victims belonged. Colombia must compensate the next of kin for the “moral damage” it has caused them and for the insecurity and anguish of facing this harsh reality; and c) it must be assumed that denial of justice causes objective damage with a “moral detriment” to the immediate household, which is different from the damage caused by the death of a next of kin, and compensation is justified. The Court must consider that this damage is always caused and need not be proven, contrary to the position adopted by the State, that such compensation is only in order when pecuniary damage is proven. 49. Pursuant to the above, said representatives submitted an estimate of compensation for “moral damages” with respect to the next of kin of the victims
