Leiden wins ICC Trial Competition 2013 - 'If the price of peace is justice, perhaps that price is too high’
 On 26 April 2013, Leiden won the final round of the ICC Trial Competition 2013, held at the International Criminal Court before an international Bench, including ICC Judge Morrison. The team was composed of members of our Adv. and Regular LL.M. programme in Public International Law: John Doyle, Sophie Beelaerts van Blokland, Uzay Aysev, Alexander Wills, Joe Holt, Daniel Huck and Adrian Plevin. It was successfully coached by Daniel Huck and Christian De Lance Vos. The case dealt inter alia with ‘forced marriage’ as an international crime, jurisdictional issues and complementarity. Acting as representative of victims in the final, Leiden argued that if peace were to come at the expense of justice in the case, this would be a too high price to pay. Earlier this year, our team won the national Dutch qualifying round. The rounds leading up to finals were hosted in the new premises of Leiden University - Campus The Hague in Schouwburgstraat. A press release and photographs are on the website of the International Criminal Court.
