We are pleased to announce that continuing the tradition, the team representing Greece and the Athens Law School, managed to win the first place in the NILOS Moot Court Competition in Utrecht. In addition, the team won the award for best pleading on the plaintiff's side. It should be noted that Athens Law had won second place in the competition in 2019. The competition was held on 9 - 13 May 2022 online. Specifically, Greece competed in the qualifying rounds with the University of Utrecht (Netherlands), the University of Wuhan (China), the University of Jakarta and, by obtaining the best score on the plaintiff's side, managed to pass to the final where it faced for the first time the team of the University of Cyprus. In the final, the Greek team received excellent feedback from the judges and organisers both for their success and for their knowledge and preparation. This year's case involved issues of marine scientific research, cable laying, access to ports and historical rights of two coastal states. In particular, students had the opportunity to address issues such as fisheries, protection of the marine environment and freedom of navigation.
