29 124. As measures of reparation, the Commission and the representatives requested that this Judgment be published in a newspaper of nationwide circulation and that a public act be organized at which the State acknowledge its international responsibility. 125. As ordered by this Court in previous cases,86 as a measure of satisfaction, the State shall publish only once Chapter VI of this Judgment, without the relevant footnotes, and the operative paragraphs hereof, in the Official Gazette and in another newspaper of large nationwide circulation. For such purpose, the State will have a period of six months as from the date of notice of this Judgment. 126. Furthermore, the Court deems it appropriate that the State hold a public act of acknowledgment of responsibility, within six months as from the date of notice of this Judgment. c) Adaptation of domestic law to conform to the Convention 127. The Commission noted that “it is essential that the Court order the State of Argentina to adopt, as a priority measure, all such legislative and other measures as may be required to prevent similar facts from occurring in the future.” The representatives stated that “a legal reform must be implemented in connection with the offenses of libel and slander, and with the Civil Code provisions, for the manner in which such offenses are regulated –considering the language used and the lack of accuracy– opens the door for Argentine courts to hand down arbitrary rulings, thus encouraging the rendering of a large number of judgments in violation of the freedom of expression.” 128. Considering the arguments put forward in Chapter VI of this Judgment, the Court finds it pertinent to order that, within a reasonable time, the State bring its domestic laws in conformity with the provisions of the Convention, so that the lack of accuracy acknowledged by the State (supra paras. 18 and 66) 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. D) Costs and expenses 129. Legal costs and expenses are embodied in the concept of reparation set forth in Article 63(1) of the American Convention.87 130. The representatives requested the reimbursement of US$ 6,000.00 (six thousand United States dollars) to Mr. Kimel on account of the expenses stemming from the domestic court proceedings, “considering that […] he received pro bono counseling from the Buenos Aires Press Workers’ Union [Unión de Trabajadores de Prensa de Buenos Aires, UTPBA] for over nine years [and] he wishes he could reimburse UTPBA for a percentage that represents the pro bono work of such entity, such that it can perform similar work in other cases.” Furthermore, as noted in paragraph 107 supra, the representatives noted that Mr. Kimel had incurred other expenses. The representatives did not produce any evidentiary document to prove such allegations. Moreover, they requested the sum of US$ 9,919.38 (nine 86 Cf. Case of Cantoral-Benavides v. Peru.
