Irish Red Cross Corn Adomnáin Debating Competition
Griffith Hosts International Law Competition
Now in its fifth year, the Corn Adomnáin Competition in International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is organised by the Irish Red Cross for Law students in Ireland. This year it will be held at Griffith College's Dublin campus on South Circular Road on 13 April 2019.
Named after Cáin Adomnáin, or the ‘Law of Innocents’ as it is often referred to, an early IHL treaty signed in Birr, Co. Offaly, in 697 AD, the competition aims to take learning out of the lecture hall and provide students with an opportunity to engage with IHL on a practical level, applying their knowledge to ‘real-life’ situations.
Students participating in the competition will take part in role-plays, simulations and moot courts. These will be evaluated by a jury composed of highly experienced people in the field of International Law. Students will be provided with coaches on the day to guide them through preparation for each competition station.
