The UNESCO UNITWIN Project Team at Handong Global University (HGU) held the third round of the Joint Mock Legislation Camp: Legislative Solutions for a World Without Borders for three days from November 2 to 4 in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
The Joint Mock Legislation Camp is held every year as part of the UNITWIN-HGU Project Team’s Joint Education project. It is an educational course that presents sustainable solutions to various social problems faced in developing countries through the legislative process. The Joint Mock Legislation Camp, which consists of lectures and small group discussions, motivates participating students and fosters their legal problem-solving skills through activities such as exploring social problems in each country and drafting laws to solve them.
The first and second rounds of the Camp held in June and September were conducted virtually from Pohang (Korea), Phnom Penh (Cambodia) and Bangkok (Thailand), but this third round was held on-site in Siem Reap, Cambodia. 36 participants, among them professors, undergraduate students, and graduate students from Handong Global University (Korea), the Royal University of Law and Economics (Cambodia) and Thammasat University (Thailand) participated.
The first day started with an orientation by Handong Global University Professor Angela Semee Kim (School of Law). Afterwards, special lectures were given on ‘Law Making: What is Legisprudence’ by Handong Global University Professor Kukwoon Lee (School of Law) and on ‘Law Making: The Principle of Proportionality’ by Thammasat University Professor Lasse Schuldt (Faculty of Law). On the second day, students presented legislative solutions to social problems in each country that were researched and analyzed in the first and second rounds.
The social issues that students researched and presented included issues related to cyber financial crime, online child sexual exploitation through social media platforms, ESG regulations for companies, methods of relieving victims of telecommunication fraud, and issues of overstatement of company profits. Through the Joint Mock Legislation Camp, students analyze laws related to social issues in each country, explore alternatives to solve the limitations and problems of relevant current laws in each country, draft bills related to them, and study the purpose and content of the bills.
In the first and second round of the Camp, students looked for recent legislation and cases related to social issues explored in small groups. In the third round, based on their research and feedback from professors, each small group presented specific information and reasons for solving the problems, reflecting the purpose and direction pursued by related laws and regulations. The Mock Legislation Joint Camp is civic education that connects society spatially with social participation and connects legal and political areas.
Professor Phalthy Hap, Dean of the Royal University of Law and Economics Graduate School, said he was impressed by the fact that the participating students presented practical legislative alternatives that well reflected the feedback they received from the previous Joint Mock Legislation Camp. He also expressed great expectation for the Camp to be held next year. Professor Angela Semee Kim said, “I hope that the Joint Mock Legislation Camp will continue to help solve social problems in each country and create legislative alternatives that will help strengthen global cooperation beyond borders.” Professor Lasse Schuldt added that the Camp was a remarkable showcase for the potential of cross-border initiatives between Asian law schools.
* UNESCO UNITWIN (UNITWIN, UNIversity, TWInning, and Networking) was established by UNESCO in 1992 for the purpose of reducing the knowledge gap and fostering self-reliance in developing countries by the educational method of supporting university and research institutions in developed countries through a network between developed and developing countries’ universities. In Korea, HGU was designated as the first UNITWIN host university in 2007.
