Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>A team of eight high school pupils made history yesterday when they became world moot court competition champions.<\/b><\/p>\n

The team of six girls and two boys from Sisekelo and St Michael\u2019s High Schools, claimed the coveted trophy during the competition held in Romania, where participants used fictional cases to simulate proceedings in the International Criminal Court pre-trial chambers.<\/p>\n

The competition was hosted by the Netherlands-Romania foundation from The Hague, together with the National Pedagogical College and Justice Resource Centre. The pupils were given various topics to debate and develop knowledge of international law, with the aim to promote civic education, human rights, rule of law and international justice among young people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so proud of them!\u201d said Sisekelo High School Principal Winile Dlamini yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey did so well,” she added.<\/p>\n

Dlamini said she was overjoyed, not just for the victory, but also for the lessons they\u2019ve learnt from this experience, because it was quite a taxing one, both physically and emotionally.<\/p>\n

She appreciated all stakeholders that made their participation a success, in particular, parents and the Law Society which trained the pupils.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Law Society played a huge role in preparing our pupils, and we are forever indebted to it, because they took this journey seriously, and we are deeply appreciative for such an opportunity,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

She said the parents had offered support throughout the competition and before, which motivated the pupils and encouraged them to dig deeper within themselves.\u201cI am so thankful for the support from parents because it made such a difference on the pupils, motivating them to work harder and to keep at it whenever giving up seemed easier,\u201d she said. The pupils were judged by a panel of top jurists from various Tribunals in The Hague as well as outstanding legal experts from all over the world.<\/p>\n
