About the Program |
Summit of the Americas CompetitionThe Summit of the Americas competition is comprised of teams from universities in the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean who represent assigned member states of the OAS in a model-UN style format. Students submit and debate resolutions on assigned topics, and deal with a hypothetical crisis scenario. General Committee delegates have the opportunity to emulate their country's head of state in a mock Summit of the Americas meeting.

IACHR Moot Court Competition
The IACHR Moot Court competition pits teams of two students each against each other in a moot court format. Student teams represent both the State and the Petitioner side in separate hearings in front of a panel of judges. They must try a hypothetical human rights case similar to those heard in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and submit written legal memorials and oral arguments. The competition culminates in a tournament.
