Resumen
The International Law Clinic (ILC) is held annually in collaboration with the Office of Public Counsel for Victims (OPCV) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Ibero-American Institute of The Hague for Peace, Human Rights and International Justice (IIH). Over a year the members of the ILC undertake intensive training and form a research group, which is devoted to respond to one or several legal problems raised by the OPCV. Once the research work is finished, the results are translated into English and put in a report that is sent and presented orally to the OPCV in The Hague (The Netherlands). The comprehensive training project of the International Law Clinic revolves around the ILC members, who become the central figure in the training process, which is based on the understanding that knowledge is obtained mainly through observation, experimentation and reasoning. In this process of a non-directive nature, the main function of the professor is to raise problems and put forward various possible alternatives to address them, which will have to be resolved jointly by ILC members through teamwork. The ILC training process also aims at providing tools to those who participate in it to articulate a coherent way of being in and understanding the world, by discussing human and social values and problems, and fostering the dream of young people for a different international society that makes life meaningful to them (the Pedagogical Project of the International Law Clinic can be consulted at: https://www.urosario.edu. co/Clinica-Juridica-Internacional/Proyecto-Pedagogico/).
