The High School Moot International Criminal Court (ICC) Competition is designed to introduce high school students to the work of the ICC and how important international human rights issues are dealt with in an international criminal justice context. The Moot ICC is a simulation of case presented to the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court. This is different than what is common in mock trial, in which the penalty phase of a trial is commonly simulated. For Moot ICC participants will be focused exclusively on the legal issues raised by the case.
