Editorial Note
The first Telders International Law Moot Court Competition was organized in 1977 on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the Telders International Law Students Debating Society. Students from the Universities of Bonn, Cologne, Leiden and Strasbourg participated. The competition took place in the Peace Palace at The Hague and was an overwhelming success. Since then the competition has been held annually. Participation has expanded from three teams in 1977 to thirteen teams now. The eleventh session has been held in the Peace Palace from 14–16 April 1988. The case for the Telders International Law Moot Court Competition was written by Prof. Dinah Shelton.
