Second in the IBA ICC Moot Court 2023
Another great performance by our students at Maastricht University Faculty of Law, finishing second in the IBA ICC Moot Court at the International Criminal Court in The Hague 2023. Many congratulations to the entire team, to Maraya being awarded best speaker and to coach Craig Eggett.
The IBA ICC Moot Court Competition welcomes universities from all over the world for a large scale moot court simulating the proceedings of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Competition consists of an extensive six-day educational and social program, which brings together students of diverse backgrounds and cultures to The Hague to challenge their skills as future international lawyers. The final round is expected to take place in an actual ICC courtroom with ICC judges adjudicating.
