Mooties Making A Difference: Reaching Out To Build In Cambodia

A few weeks ago, a small team of educators gathered in Phnom Penh for the second Vis East Moot Foundation Capacity Building Programme (VEMF-CBP) for Cambodian law students. What made this programme different from other occasional, one-off forays into Cambodia by dozens of NGO’s and law firms is that this year’s local organisers were all alumni of the 2014 CBP, with students organizing everything from classrooms to catering, registration, accounting, attendance, printing – even the end-of-course party. A couple went further, delivering a 3-hour CISG research workshop, impressing both peers and professors. The project proved a success and convinced Louise Barrington to share her experience on role of Vis Moots as a catalyst for change in a country where arbitration is is in its infancy – Cambodia.
