The week has just begun, and we are excited to congratulate the team from the University of Cambridge (UK) which became the winner of the 38th edition of the Jean-Pictet Competition 2022! This edition was held in Albania, from 19 to 26 March, for both Francophone and Anglophone teams.

We would like to remind that the 39th edition of the Competition will take on September 3-10, 2022 in Indonesia and applications will be open until 15 April 2022.

Good luck to all participants!

Also, you can find the information about the last year winner of the spring edition of the Pictet – the National Autonomous University of Mexicohere.


The Jean-Pictet Competition is about “taking law out of the books”, by simulations and role plays, allowing the jury of the Competition to evaluate teams’ theoretical knowledge and practical understanding of IHL. To qualify for registration, teams must be made of three students (undergraduate students or above in Law, Political Science, military academies, etc.), from the same institution, none of whom has taken part in the Competition before and all of whom should generally be under 30 years old.
