Madeleine Albright announces her seat in Advisory Council

Our programme

In its initial phase, The Hague Institute for Global Justice will focus on the following three themes:

1. The Judiciary and Global Justice
2. International Affairs, Peace Diplomacy and Global Justice
3. Environment, Development and Global Justice

Opportunities for research projects, educational programmes and valorisation projects have been identified and will be further developed for each of the three themes indicated in the upcoming months. To this aim, innovative partnerships will be built with The Hague based academic institutes and practitioners as well as international institutes and individual experts. The objective is to function as a network organisation that facilitates cross-fertilisation between academia and practice. Combining this international and interdisciplinary expertise will provide for an integrated approach towards global challenges such as failing states, resource conflicts, climate change and its multiple consequences, the changing international architecture, the effectiveness of international judicial institutions and the increasing importance of non-state actors.
