moot court proposition. Its being my first moot Court

Moot Problem Ellong and Moeing are neighboring States. Ellong is an industrial state with a successful market economy and a democratic political system. The State is independent, politically stable, have rich natural resources and hardworking and entrepreneurial citizens have all helped in developing into a leading State in the areas of technological innovation, in particular electronics and communication. Moeing is located to the south of Ellong. The two nations are divided by the river ��Almenia�� Although Moeing has a long and proud history (i.e. rich in social and cultural civilization), but has not been as fortunate in its political history as its northern counterpart. A series of military coups and counter-revolutions was the reason for Moeing not having an opportunity to stabilize its political system and become well-functioning State. The State economy is struggling to cope with the demands of globalized economy relations. Its police and military service are in shambles. Citizens do not have employment opportunities and are deprived of basic human needs and thus are forced to leave the State and cross the thunderous river ��Almenia�� to the neighboring State of Ellong. Kavita, a young girl of twenty-two years, citizen of Moeing was in love with Mohit, a boy of twenty-eight years. They planned to get married but were fed up of the poverty. Mohit asked Kavita to come to Ellong with him there they can have a good life. He painted a rosy picture of the new life in Ellong, to which Kavita agreed to and on the stated date both of them eloped and crossed the river ��Almenia�� and reached Ellong. After reaching Ellong, Mohit took Kavita to his relative��s place telling her that till they find a place of their own they will stay there and eventually get married. Kavita went along. Leaving Kavita at his aunt��s place, Mohit said to her that he is going out in search of job, she waited for him or for his calls but he never came back. Instead she came to know that the lady, to whom Mohit introduced as her aunt, is no relative of his and Mohit has sold Kavita to her. She was kept in captivation there and was forced into prostitution over a period of several months. She was told by the aunt that if she did not cooperate, she will be tortured and killed. To prove this point, she was raped by the guards on more than one occasion. On the other hand, Anuj, a twenty-five year old man from Moeing, was promised by his neighbor, that there was good employment available in the factories and industries of Ellong. Due to extreme poverty and unemployment and prospects of sound economic future, Anuj along with his family and some other families from his village accompanied the neighbor and migrated to Ellong. Upon reaching there, Anuj along with others was put to work as unskilled labour, in a steel factory. They were paid miserably low wages insufficient even to meet his basic needs. Their wages were below the norms prescribed by the national labour laws of Ellong. They were made to work 18-20 hours a day without adequate breaks and were rarely given time off. Due to low wages and lack of facilities like adequate housing, sanitation and clean drinking water, the workers from Moeing in the factory and their families were unable to get adequate nutrition and become prone to illness, they ended up losing their jobs. No health care facilities were available to them. There were no schools for their children due to lack of resources. Speaking a language different from locals was an additional barrier. They also faced opposition from local workers as they (Moeing workers) were ready to accept employment at lower wages and were preferred by the employees. In the case of Kavita, in May 2014, she managed to escape. A Passerby, shocked by her appalling physical state, helped her to the hospital. While at the hospital, Kavita reported the location of the brothel to the Police. The Police raided the building after two hours of getting information. By that
