About the International Moot Court Competition
The first ever International Moot Court Competition was held on the theme of ‘Data Privacy’ in 2019. The second international competition was held on the theme of ‘International Environment Law’ which was originally scheduled for March 2020 but since we were hit by the pandemic, the competition was successfully concluded on a virtual platform in August 2020.
About the Theme
Theme for the 4th International Moot Court Competition is International Crimes: Humanitarian Law and War Crimes
International crimes include the most serious crimes that are a matter of global concern. The four main categories are primarily genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression.
Since these crimes affect a considerably large number of people, it becomes crucial to have laws that may help regulate situations like war and also punish those responsible for mass death and destruction. Humanitarian law also referred to as the laws of armed conflict specifically deal with and regulates the conduct of war.
