“The IHL Moot Court Competition is one of the greatest opportunities granted to me this year. It is an invaluable experience to meet new friends and interact with such a productive community.” — Norravich Limpanukorn
“While me and my team did find much success in the national rounds, the regional round poses a new academic challenge that I have never faced before. With the top 1% of each country coming together to present their legal arguments and express their impressive depth of understanding of international humanitarian law, it was an eye-opening experience for me to debate against a more fluent, equipped, and talented people. In terms of the friendships and the memories made, it is safe to say that those things will forever be entrenched into my heart.” — Poom Wannakum

“This competition has allowed me to improve myself and connect with my fellow competitors, who all share the same values, passion, and commitment. The value of the experiences and friendships I have received is immeasurable. And for that, thank you, truly.” — Paponthad Sirachetgosol
