This time we present an Inter-American Court of Human Rights with the special feature of covering a totally fictitious case called "Sierra Fonseca et al. Versus the Independent Republic of Mahoroba" in which we see the conjunction of problems such as statelessness, armed conflict and minority rights. With an innovative format, this IACHR seeks to confront delegates with the various branches of rights and atypical and complex situations that court personnel face, all gathered in the same case.
