Aspiring human rights lawyers are all winners in test case competition at UN
Introduction:
If you learned that serious human rights violations had been committed somewhere in the world and you wanted to bring those responsible to justice, how would you go about it?
That was the challenge facing law students from 39 universities who’ve been arguing their case at the 10th Nelson Mandela World Human Rights Moot Court Competition, at the UN in Geneva this week.
In an interview with UN News, Professor Frans Viljoen, Director of the Centre for Human Rights at the University of Pretoria, told Daniel Johnson how the event helps to reinforce the global fight against impunity.
