ANNOUNCEMENTS

Students at the Law School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens who are interested in participating in the All-European International Humanitarian and Refugee Law Moot Court Competition 2025, which will take place in mid-November 2025 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, are invited to attend our first meeting on Wednesday 28 May 2025, at 13:00, in Room B, 45 Akadimias Street.

The All-European International Humanitarian and Refugee Law Moot Court Competition is organised annually under the auspices of the Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana and is based on a case study carefully prepared in cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross, UNHCR and the Slovenian Red Cross. The Competition examines the most important and topical issues concerning international humanitarian and refugee law and is designed to encourage students to study and understand the fundamental concepts of international humanitarian and refugee law by addressing specific legal problems before experienced judges and jury members.

The NKUA School of Law will participate in this competition for the fourth consecutive year, having succeeded in reaching the final round in all three of its previous participations, and having emerged as the winning team in two of them. Interested students should: a) have successfully passed the course ‘Public International Law’ (except, obviously, for first-year students); b) have a good command of the English language; c) have a keen interest in Public International Law; and d) be willing, if selected, to devote the required time for preparation.

Interested candidates are invited to submit a) a full CV and b) a short motivation letter in English to the attention of Dr. Stavros Pantazopoulos  (spantazo[at]law.uoa[dot]gr). They are requested to include their grades in all courses (undergraduate or postgraduate) relating to international law and any other activities they consider relevant.

The deadline for sending these documents is Tuesday 27 May 2025.
