Social impact of the international judicial system for the Hague and beyond

What is the importance of the international judicial institutions to the Hague and the world? Are organizations working on justice related policy-making initiatives helping or hindering the development of a global legal order?

This panel will discuss the impact of international courts in the Hague and the relevance of justice policy initiatives. The discussions will be based on a new book by Maurits Barendrecht (HiiL) “Het Papieren Paleis” and a quantitative analysis of the economic impact of the Peace Palace by Decisio, an economic research consultancy.
