On 17-19 February 2010 the final round of the “Interactive Human Rights” European Law Mooting Competition (Competition) was held. The Competition has been organized with the financial support of the European Union for the third time this year. The previous competitions were held on 2004-2005 and 2007-2008. The Competition aims at assisting to promote the knowledge and understanding of undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students majoring in law, international relations, international law, political science and history on the European protection mechanisms of human rights.

Legal Guide is responsible for developing the hypothetical cases of the Competition. Each time the cases are developed with consideration of timely issues and/or most frequently violated human rights and/or freedoms in the Republic of Armenia.
