The State has violated the freedom from ex post facto laws enshrined by Article 9 of the American Convention on Human Rights, in relation to Articles 1(1) and 2 thereof, to the detriment of Eduardo Kimel, under the terms of paragraphs 61 to 67 of this Judgment. 4. It admits the waiver of rights made by the representatives, regarding the right to a hearing by an impartial and independent court as enshrined by Article 8(1), the right to appeal the judgment to a higher court as enshrined by Article 8(2)(h) and the right to judicial protection as enshrined by Article 25 of the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights, under the terms of paragraph 26 of this Judgment. 5. This Judgment is in and of itself a form of reparation. AND DECIDES: Unanimously, 6. To order the State to pay the amounts set in this Judgment as compensation for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage, and reimbursement of legal costs and expenses, within the term of one year as from notice of this Judgment, under the terms of paragraphs 110, 119, and 133 hereof. 7. To order the State to set aside the criminal sentence imposed on Mr. Kimel and all the effects deriving therefrom within the term of six months as from notice of this Judgment, under the terms of paragraphs 121 to 123 hereof. 8.

To order the State to bring within a reasonable time its domestic legislation into conformity with the provisions of the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights, so that the lack of accuracy acknowledged by the State (supra paras. 18, 127, and 128) be amended in order to comply with the requirements of legal certainty so that, consequently, they do not affect the exercise of the right to freedom of thought and expression. 12. To monitor full compliance with this Judgment and to close the instant case once the State has effectively and fully complied with the measures ordered herein. The State shall, within the term of one year as from the date of notice of this Judgment, submit to the Court a report on the measures adopted in compliance therewith. Cecilia Medina-Quiroga President
