HNLU wins jackpot at HK Red Cross Moot as Symbi, ILS battle at GH Raisoni

HNLU Raipur finished runners up at the Red Cross International Humanitarian Law Moot and jumped from the eleventh position to the fifth position in the MPL 2 standings sponsored by Allen & Overy. Meanwhile Symbiosis, Pune won its first moot this season at the GH Raisoni Moot.

Red Cross Moot

The first Tier 2 moot of this season saw only one Indian team out of 20 teams globally, with HNLU having qualified after winning the Henry Dunant Moot Court Competition in September of last year.

HNLU’s team (pictured) picked up a massive 25 points for its place in the finals, taking it to fifth place in the MPL 2.

Victoria University of Wellington from Wellington, New Zealand eventually won over HNLU in the finals.

Lucia Fan from the Hong Kong Red Cross confirmed the results and said that the teams were impressive. The moot was co-organised by the Hong Kong Red Cross (HKRC) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in collaboration of the University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

G H Raisoni

It was an all-Pune battle at Nagpur when Symbiosis Pune defeated ILS Pune in the finals of the GH Raisoni Moot.

GNLU Gandhinagar won the best memorandum award and finished as semi-finalists. Baroda School of Legal Studies was the 35th team to enter the MPL 2 by winning the best speaker award and finishing semifinalists in the moot.

Sankalp Anantwar from GH Raisoni Law School confirmed the results and said that 20 teams from all over the country participated in the moot. The moot problem was related to copyright laws.

ELSA Moot:

We have been informed that two Indian teams have won awards at the ELSA WTO Asian rounds. However, we are still waiting for an official confirmation from the organizers.

Allen & Overy is the sponsor of the MPL 2 and is hosting an international finance and corporate course at Nalsar Hyderabad between 4 and 8 July.
