"Between the 22nd and 27th May 2016, the 21st Inter-American Human Rights Moot Court took place in Washington DC, at the American University. The Faculty of Law at UENP participated the 5th time in this international event where a trial is simulated by the Inter-American Human Rights Moot Court, an international organism empowered to judge the signatory countries of the Pact of San José of Costa Rica who have violated human rights. Rivals work with a hypothetical case, in which they represent a fictitious state and supposed victims in a trilingual debate relying on simultaneous translation. This year, the students Pablo Eduardo Pocay Ananias and Tayla Lydia Dummer represented UENP. CRI supported their travel and other expenses. In general, we are talking about an incredible opportunity of exchange. It is an honor to participate at IAMOOT and a privileged opportunity."
