On Saturday 11th March 2023, Maynooth School of Law and Criminology students Sophie Dulson, Kate Shortall and Katie Steed participated in the 2023 Corn Adomnáin International Humanitarian Law Competition which was held in the UCD Sutherland School of Law. 
 
The competition is held annually by the Irish iRed Cross and provides an opportunity for students to test their knowledge of International Humanitarian Law and its application in a competition involving simulations and moot courts focusing on an armed conflict scenario. 
 
The Corn Adomnáin is named after the Cáin Adomnáin, an ancient Irish law of war from 697 AD which was signed in Birr, Co. Offaly and adds to the long history of International Humanitarian Law. 
 
Very well done to Sophie, Kate and Katie on exploring their interest in the field of International Humanitarian Law and representing Maynooth University School of Law and Criminology with their participation in the Corn Adomnáin this year.
