The Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition is a simulation of a fictional dispute between countries before the International Court of Justice, the judicial organ of the United Nations.
Over 550 schools compete in more than 80 countries. Most students must first compete in qualifying competitions (mostly held between January and March) to earn the right to advance to the international rounds.
The teams prepare oral and written pleadings arguing both the applicant and respondent positions of the case.
This year the national rounds in Mexico took place from February 17-19 at the Foreign Ministry, with the Universidad Iberoamericana emerging as the winning team. It will represent Mexico in the international rounds to be held from March 27 to April 2 in Washington, D.C.
We wish every success to the winning team!
