UP LAW BAGS

INTERNATIONAL TILT

Proving once again that the UP College of Law is one of the country’s best, a team composed of its students bested other law schools in Asia at the recently concluded 2007 Asia Cup International Law Moot Court Competition held in Tokyo, Japan last August 20­–21.

The team, composed of Janice C. Lee, Anya M. Palileo, Anna Lorem R. Ramos, and Maricel R. Seno, bested nine other law schools from all over the continent in their mastery of public international law, humanitarian law, and human rights and refugee law.

The UP team faced Chulalongkorn University of Thailand in the final round, with Lee and Ramos delivering the oral pleadings to a panel of judges composed of Ambassador Chusei Yamada of the UN International Law Commission, Dr. Umesh Kadam of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Kuala Lumpur, and Dr. Jean-Marie Henckaerts of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva.

Chulalongkorn is Thailand's top university and one of Asia's best. My thesis adviser, Engr. Rhandley Cajote is currently taking up his doctorate degree here.
