The 17th edition of the Nelson Mandela World Human Rights Moot Court Competition officially kicked off on 14 July at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
More than just a competition, this prestigious event is a powerful celebration of justice, equality, and the rule of law—principles that Nelson Mandela championed throughout his life. It serves as a vital platform to highlight the importance of human rights and international law, bringing together the brightest law students from across the globe.
This year’s hypothetical case explores some of the most pressing issues of our time, including the rights of migrants and asylum seekers, gender identity, and privacy violations under the law.
The final round will be held on 18 July, fittingly on Nelson Mandela International Day, once again at the Palais des Nations.
