Maastricht University team wins role playing part in 2016 Frits Kalshoven Moot Court Competition

The Maastricht team, consisting of Stephen Harsley, Sari Tollenaar and Antti Tulonen, spent a week immersing themselves in and practicing the law of armed conflict in the fictional state of DRE. The competition included lectures and a visit to the International Criminal Court. The students engaged in role playing and pleading, along with eight other teams from four Belgian and four Dutch universities. The team hopes to build on this success in the Jean-Pictet Competion, which takes place at the end of March in Évian-les-Bains, France. The team was coached by Wim Muller and Laura Visser.

This was the 9th edition of this annual competition, named after professor emeritus Frits Kalshoven and organised by the Red Cross organisations of the Netherlands and Flanders.
