Day of Crisis Competition

The Day of Crisis is an international law and diplomacy competition launched in 2021 by the Hague Academy of International Law. Over the course of 24 hours in The Hague, The Netherlands, several teams of students, representing governments, international organizations, businesses or non-governmental organizations, face a series of major international crises. Participants are required to deal with a variety of legal issues by providing an opinion, advising a client, drafting documents, negotiating or elaborating diplomatic strategies. This competition challenges students’ knowledge of public international law and a variety of skills, such as collaborating in a team, drafting, negotiating and working under pressure.
