      ii.  You should justify your decision making reference to international instruments, positioning of human rights bodies, and doctrine. The text should not exceed 1.200 words and must be written individually.

      iii. The document must be persuasive and the product of the work of the author only. Any copy from the internet or any other kind of plagiarism will imply in a grade 0.

      iv. Please take into account that precautionary measures aim to protect human rights in serious and urgent situations, where an irreparable damage must be prevented (Article 25 of the Rules of Procedure of the IACHR). Precautionary measures do not entail a prejudgment of international responsibility of the State.
