Former Supreme Court judge Bela M Trivedi on Friday called international law “a guardian of global order” while attempting to highlight contemporary threats such as terrorism, cyber warfare, misinformation, climate-induced displacement and money laundering – stressing that these challenges transcend borders and require collective legal frameworks.
Justice Trivedi, who inaugurated the 2nd International Moot Court Competition 2025 at Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) based on the theme “International Law and Global Security” – addressed the participants with reflections on the role of international law in an increasingly interconnected yet volatile world.
Reminding young legal professionals of their responsibility to uphold constitutional values and ethical standards, Justice Trivedi said, “Practice of law is not a business; it is a service to society. Integrity must define the legal profession, and justice must remain our eternal pursuit.”
She further added that courage, competency and conscience are essential for law students to take society forward.
With over 24 teams (72 participants) from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Kenya, the event featured multiple rounds, keynote lectures by distinguished members of the judiciary, academia, and legal profession.
Prof Bimal N Patel, Vice Chancellor, RRU, underscored that law and security are inseparable and said, “You cannot achieve security by becoming autocratic, nor can you rely solely on law while ignoring escalating global threats. This university brings both together for a fair and secure world order.”
He explained fair and secure laws for global security encouraging participants to immerse themselves not only in the competition but also in the academic environment.
