On the tenth anniversary of the international air law moot competition, the Sarin Foundation joined forces with Army Institute of Law to host the international rounds of the prestigious moot. The competition was held from 5th April, 2019 to 7th April, 2019. Earlier the National rounds (India) of the moot were held at the same venue on 2nd February, 2019.
Eighteen teams were shortlisted for the international rounds after clearing the national rounds of their respective countries. Before the competition began the teams and judges were taken to Arga, Uttar Pradesh to visit the Taj Mahal, followed by a dinner at the Dutch Embassy in New Delhi.
This year's proposition was about the conflict between two fictitious countries, Akira and Mayur. The conflict was over the use of Akira's airspace and the country's request to Mayur for extradition of two her nationals running a troll factory and manufacturing drones. National University of Singapore and Leiden University qualified to the final round. The teams came prepared with thorough research and tackled the questions bombarded at them with seamless legal knowledge and spontaneity.
The bench for the finale comprised of Justice Mahesh Grover of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Huang of ICAO and Prof. Dr. Regula Dettling-Ott, University of Bern, Switzerland.
University of Singapore were adjudged the winners and Leiden University were the runners up. Besides the winning trophy, the Singapore team also received a letter of offer for internship in the UN body, International Civil Aviation Organisation, from its Director Jiedang Huang.
Army Institute of Law left no stones unturned in the preparation for the three day event. A volunteer team was established who assisted the teams, jury and members of the organising teams from Leiden and Sarin Foundation.
