Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition – 2017
Between January 27-29, 2017 the Belarusian National Qualifying Round of Philip Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition was held in Minsk. This year, 9 teams from 5 different universities of our country took part in the Belarusian National Qualifying Round of the most prestigious international competition. There were teams of Brest State A.S. Pushkin University, Grodno State University, Mogilev State University, Polotsk State University, as well as the teams of the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of International Relations of BSU. The winner of the Qualifying Round will represent our country at the finals in Washington (the USA).
Philip Jessup Competition is a simulation of a fictional dispute between countries before the International Court of Justice, the judicial organ of the United Nations, where law students prepare oral and written pleadings arguing both the applicant and respondent positions of the case. This year, the issues concerning the right to water, the rights of refugees and migrants, the protection of the world cultural heritage and cultural values were discussed in the competition.
Since 2015 the administrator of the Belarusian National Qualifying Round has been represented by the International Law and Arbitration Association (BILA Association) in Belarus, Minsk. Among the judges there were well-known legal practitioners and professors from the United States of America, Great Britain, Estonia, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus.
Sergei Shukalo (Master’s Degree student), Victoria Shvab (the 5th year student), Alisa Grechina, Mikhail Savchuk and Artem Yurashevich (the 3rd year students) defended the honor of the Law Faculty of Brest State A.S. Pushkin University. Vice-Dean for Academic Affairs Olga Slivko represented the team coach.
The students of our university proved their right to be called the best regional team. According to the results of the competition the team of Brest State A.S. Pushkin University took the 3rd place after the teams of the Law Faculty of BSU (the 1st place) and the Faculty of International Relations of BSU (the 2nd place). Our team received three special awards – “Best Regional Team”, “Jessup Spirit” and “Moot Court Inspiration”.
Congratulations to the winners!
