The
Hague
The
Hague’s
current
role
as
host
to
international
organizations
and
the
international
community
is
part
of
a
tradition
dating
back
more
than
750
years.
In
1998
the
city
celebrated
its
750th
anniversary
with
a
grand
The
Hague
–
International
City
of
Peace
and
Justice
commemoration,
and
the
city’s
international
community
was
well-‐acknowledged.
Historians
today
generally
agree
that
the
city
was
founded
in
1248
by
Count
William
II
of
Holland.
The
name
originated
from
him:
‘des
Graven
Hage’,
or
the
Count’s
Wall
(or
hedge),
thus
The
Hague.
Hospitable
city
Past
generations
helped
to
turn
The
Hague
into
the
hospitable
city
it
is
today
–
a
diverse
community
of
people
from
many
different
backgrounds
and
countries.
In
past
centuries
it
has
been
host
to
international
visitors,
but
also
provided
a
safe
haven
for
outcasts.
In
this
respect
the
city’s
history
is
interwoven
with,
and
deeply
embedded
in,
the
history
of
the
Netherlands.
It
is
no
accident
that
the
national
constitution
explicitly
states
the
promotion
of
the
international
legal
order.
In
a
climate
that
was
remarkably
tolerant
and
intellectual
by
the
standards
of
their
days,
renowned
scholars
such
as
Erasmus
and
Hugo
Grotius
were
able
to
flourish
here
and
make
their
bodies
of
ideas
known
to
the
world.
Important
events
In
more
recent
centuries,
the
city
returned
to
the
international
spotlight
as
a
location
for
important
events
and
institutions
such
as
the
Peace
Conferences
of
1899
and
1907,
the
International
Court
of
Justice,
the
International
Criminal
Tribunal
for
the
former
Yugoslavia
(ICTY)
and
the
International
Criminal
Court
(ICC).
These
and
many
other
important
developments
are
strongly
linked
to
The
Hague
and
the
activities
hosted
here.
World Foresight Forum
11-15 April 2011 – The Hague – The Netherlands
www.worldforesightforum.org
The
Hague
has
many
faces:
*
residence
of
the
Dutch
Royal
Family
*
seat
of
the
Dutch
national
government
(though
not
the
country's
capital,
which
is
Amsterdam)
*
city
of
scholars
*
city
of
storks
(the
city’s
coat
of
arms
has
featured
the
proud
stork
for
many
centuries)
*
city
by
the
sea
*
city
of
culture
But
the
rich
heritage
of
this
green
city
by
the
sea
ensures
that
it
shall
always
remain
a
humble
servant
to
its
role
as
International
City
of
Peace
and
Justice.
