20,000,000 CFA F that is, 5,000,000 per family would be a fair remuneration for the lawyers of the victims”. 79. In the opinion of the Court, the reparation paid to victims of human rights violation may also include the reimbursement of lawyers’ fees. This was the position held by the Court in the afore-cited case of Rev. Mtkila v. United Republic of Tanzania: “The Court notes that expenses and costs form part of the concept of ‘reparations’. Therefore, where the international responsibility of a State is established in a declaratory judgment, the Court may order the State to compensate the victim for expenditure and costs incurred in his or her efforts to obtain justice at the national and international levels"** 80. This position is consistent with that of other international human rights jurisdictions. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights, for example, expressed this position in the following terms: “_..costs and expenses are included in the concept of reparations ... because the activity deployed by the next-of-kin of the victims or their representatives in order to obtain justice at both the national and the international level entails expenditure that must be compensated when the State's international responsibility is declared in a judgment against it."2° 81. In determining the amount to be paid in the matter of Rev. Mtkila mentioned above, the Court has held that in the opinion of the Court, the reparation paid to victims of human rights violation may also include the reimbursement of lawyers’ fees.*° 28 Judgment of 13 June 2014, para 39 22 JACHR: Goiburu and Others.
