Living
in a globalized world that is constantly evolving is clearly not that simple,
at least you will need to know how things work nowadays. With technology and
social media, the effort to connect ourselves among fellow citizens of the
world is getting easier. This makes a proverb which says that the world is
getting narrower with boundaries fading away as a new reality.

The
development of world order ultimately requires human beings who live in it to
have a better ability as well. This is necessary due to the development of
technology, as described above, which makes the relationship between countries
more important than ever. This is when the international law comes in, with a
lot of things going on, world’s citizen will obviously need a set rule to live
with. And eventually we will need to have a better understanding about this “rule
of the world” or the international law.
This
situation is also experienced by law students throughout Indonesia, as the
candidate of future Indonesian international, law students in Indonesia should
be provided with maximum capabilities with regard to international law. One way
to do it is by encouraging these students to participate in international moot
court competitions.
To
be able to master the international law is clearly not easy. Moreover, the
still-unclear structure of the international law which has caused so many
doubts about the effectiveness of international law in maintaining world peace,
only make it harder to study. In addition to that, when viewed from the legal
instruments that can be used as a source of international law, it can be
understood that the scope of international law is very much wider than the
scope of the national law of a State.
However,
it does not mean that the mastery of international law is extremely difficult
or even impossible to master and study. This only means that in order to learn
and master the international law, students are required to have determination
and effort so as to produce maximum results.
In a
moot court competition a student of international law is not only required to
be able to understand the theoretic aspect international law but also the
practical side. Because in the process of competition participants are also
required to have the practical ability of international law concerning, for
example, mastery about the important issues related to international law that is
currently going on during the making of memorials. Other than that, the
participants must have the ability to do research about the customs of the countries
in the world with respect to the international law.
Reflecting
on the things above and looking back to the time when Indonesia had a dispute
with another State which was in the realm of international law, such as the
case of Sipadan - Ligitan with Malaysia in 2002, Indonesia needs to make sure
that its young generations have a good understanding of international law.
