The 15th Red Cross International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Moot, held in Hong Kong from March 8th to 11th, has provided a good platform for law students from across the Asia Pacific region to demonstrate their legal knowledge and argumentation skills in a simulation of an appellate court proceeding.
The four-day competition has seen these future law-makers/lawyers in action debating about IHL-related subjects, while also offering a glimpse of how IHL saves lives in reality.
