Tanzania - Moi University of Kenya Wins Moot Court Competition

press release

Moi University, Kenya, has won a moot court competition on international humanitarian law (IHL) that took place from 24 November to 2 December 2012 in Arusha, Tanzania. Thirty-six students from nine African countries took part in the contest organized by the ICRC.

This 12th edition of the moot court, called the "all Africa international humanitarian law competition", is one of the many initiatives taken by the ICRC to raise awareness of that body of law. "The participants' knowledge was challenged on subjects of humanitarian law and action as they were placed in fictional conflict scenarios where they were required to play the roles of the various parties and demonstrate their legal knowledge and debating skills," said Prof. Umesh Kadam, the ICRC's regional legal advisor.
