The 14th Nelson Mandela World Human Rights Moot Court Competition adopts a hybrid format with the in-person final rounds scheduled to take place at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland from 18 – 21 July 2022 and the preliminary virtual rounds scheduled to take place from 20 – 31 May 2022.
The deadline for registration and submission of memorials is 20 April 2022.
The memorials of registered teams will be evaluated by a team of human rights experts. The best 50 teams from the 5 UN regions will be selected to participate in the preliminary virtual rounds in May 2022. The hypothetical case focuses on human rights issues and is based on the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other human rights instruments.
Nelson Mandela World Human Rights Moot Court Competition is the largest gathering of students, academics and judges around the theme of human rights in the world. The Competition is open to students around the world. A team of two students from each university – preferably one woman and one man (gender diversity is encouraged) – is invited to participate in the competition.
