Let R be a Gorenstein local ring. We show that for a balanced big Cohen–Macaulay module M over R, the Cousin complex [Formula: see text] provides a Gorenstein injective resolution of M. Also, over a d-dimensional Gorenstein local ring R with maximal ideal 𝔪, we show that [Formula: see text], the dth local cohomology module of M with respect to 𝔪, is Gorenstein injective if (a) M is a balanced big Cohen–Macaulay R-module, or (b) M ∈ G(R), where G(R) is the Auslander's G-class of R.
