All-European International Humanitarian and Refugee Law Moot Court Competition
About the Competition
Field
This interactive competition covers the area of international humanitarian and refugee law, as well as international criminal law. The Competition aims to challenge its participants to solve real-world legal problems.
Participants can thus refine their legal reasoning and advocacy skills by presenting arguments before experienced judges and expert panel members.
Format
Before each round teams receive additional facts and are allocated roles that they have to present before the judges. The preliminary and quarter-final rounds involve simulations of meetings between the parties to the conflict and various international organisations, as well as between other State and non-State actors. The semi-final and final rounds involve a simulation of the criminal proceedings before the International Criminal Court .
Time and Venue
The Competition will take place between 24 and 27 November at the Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana.
The call for applications for the 11th edition of the All-European International Humanitarian and Refugee Law Moot Court Competition is now open!
