Example Question ABOUT:
The International Humanitarian Law Moot offers teams of two competitors a chance to move beyond the mundane laws of tort and contract. Whilst drawing on many of the skills learned and honed through more traditional moots it introduces competitors to the new and exciting realm of international humanitarian law.
Unlike the Open Moot, questions will be mooted as if in the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. This mooting competition also differs in structure and process from the more traditional moots – It contains only two Rounds, the aggregate of which will determine the winning team.
Due to the inherently specialised area of law (international humanitarian) the workload is heavier than in the Open Moot but the feeling of satisfaction competitors get from nailing a particularly hard question, or articulating a complicated point of law, more than compensates.
The International Humanitarian Moot is open to anyone regardless of whether they’ve studied any international or humanitarian law, though this moot is an advanced competition and as such requires more time and effort than a general law moot. If you’re up for a challenge, want to hone your public speaking skills or are interested in a career in international humanitarian law, this is the competition for you!
