Nelson Mandela World Human Rights Moot Court Competition 2024

Calling all undergraduate and Masters students worldwide! The Nelson Mandela World Human Rights Moot Court Competition 2024 wants you on board. Here’s the deal: universities, assemble teams of two students (aim for that gender balance!) to submit legal briefs for a make-believe human rights case. It’s your chance to dive into this global challenge!

The Nelson Mandela World Human Rights Moot Court Competition is calling out the top 10 teams from each of the five United Nations regions. Why? Because they want these 50 stellar teams, chosen for their top-notch written memorials, to go head-to-head in the online preliminary rounds. Picture this – they’ll be arguing both sides of a made-up case in front of a panel filled with human rights hotshots and judges from international tribunals.
