In 2001, ICRC Regional Delegation for South Asia initiated the Henry Dunant Memorial Moot Court Competition, with the aim of promoting better awareness of IHL among law students at universities throughout India.This competition is named in memory of Mr Henry Dunant, the co-founder of the ICRC and the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in 1863.
The reputation and status of the Henry Dunant Memorial Moot Court Competition has grown steadily since its inception in 2001.The national Moot Court has grown to include more than 60 teams, representing universities from across India.
The success of the competition prompted the ICRC, in collaboration with its partner organisation for this activity, the ISIL, to expand the Moot Court beyond India in 2005. As a result, the Henry Dunant Moot Court Competition was expanded to include a regional competition, drawing teams from countries across South Asia between 2005 and 2022. South Asia rounds will not be organised in 2024.
