When you hear on the news that something happened at “The Hague”today, typically, what they mean is something happened at the Peace Palace, this criminal court building, in the Hague. it is open for tours but infrequently, and only when nothing is happening inside and it’s a very imposing building. Although admittedly, it also looks like something out of Harry Potter. I only got to stand at the fence, but still at the end of the day, next time I hear of some foreign policy event, or some foreign war crimes case, happening at The Hague at least know what it looks like.
As part of my 2019 Masters, from Drexel, I took several courses in peace building, if it was possible to get a masters, minor, I would have had enough units. International law has always intrigued me, another reason to come to the Hague.
