Leiden University is announcing the 39th edition of the Telders International Moot Court Competition, which will be held between May 19-21, 2016. The 2016 Case is about a dispute concerning the interception of a vessel in the Vinous Sea Dispute. Participants will be confronted with a vast set of legal questions, bringing together different areas of international law which are often studied separately, such as freedom of navigation under the law of the sea, non refoulement of forced migrants, state immunity, immunity of state officials, and jurisdiction over cases of torture. The intention of the authors was to offer participants an opportunity to reflect on the legal implications of contemporary events.

The competition stimulates the United Nations' most important legal organ, the International Court of Justice.
