1993 WORLD FINALS: Graz, Austria
After Judge Manfred Lachs,
president of the I.I.S.L., passed away in January, it was decided that the
competition would be named in his honour and memory.
For the first time, European
law schools were invited to participate, with the University of Rome
(Italy) and the University of Leiden (the Netherlands) accepting the
challenge, meeting George Washington University in the world final.
The final was held on 21 October 1993 at the
Castle of Graz University, Graz, Austria. Judge Gilbert Guillaume
(France) was to preside over the final, but was prevented from doing so as
a result of airline strikes. The 1993 problem,
Case
Concerning the Commercial Exploitation of the Moon (Xavage v Adastra),
dealt with commercial exploitation of the Moon and use of nuclear power
sources in space.
