The 1899 Hague Peace Conference
'The Dawn of a New Era', as some rejoiced, 'a printer's error in the history of mankind', as others loathed. From the day Czar Nicholas' Peace Rescript surprised a divided world, the First Hague Peace Conference has evoked irreconcilable responses. A predictable failure in the disarmament debate, a distinct leap ahead in curbing the Moloch of War, its lasting repute is linked to its brainchild, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the cradle of The Hague's present claim as self-imposed Juridical Capital of the World. By all accounts, this 'First Parliament of Man' opened the door to the International Era & man's ultimate dream, 'The Federation of the World'. The 1899 Hague Peace Conference pa...

La Cour Internationale de Justice 1946-1996
La Cour internationale de Justice, l'un des cinq organes principaux de l'Organisation des Nations Unies, et son organe judiciaire principal, est installée à La Haye, loin du Siège de l'ONU, dans la sérénité du Palais de la Paix, don d'Andrew Carnegie à l'idéal de la paix mondiale. Cet ouvrage très bien documenté paraît à l'occasion du jubilé des cinquante ans de la Cour. L'ouvrage comporte douze chapitres, et est préfacé par le Président de la Cour. Avec une riche iconographie, il illustre l'idée du règlement pacifique des différends à travers les âges, qui devait trouver sa consécration lors des conférences de la paix de La Haye. Il évoque la création de la Cour, remontant à l'époque de sa devancière dans l'entre deux-guerres. Il traite du droit et de la procédure de la Cour internationale de Justice et décrit la composition de la Cour dans sa diversité juridique et culturelle. Des statistiques, la biographie de tous les juges et une bibliographie complètent cet hommage remarquable à un idéal universel et séculaire.
Literature without Frontiers
This volume explores the indispensability of a transnational perspective for the construction and writing of literary histories of the Low Countries from 1200- 1800. It looks at the role of mediators such as translators, printers, and editors, at characteristics of literary genres and the possibilities they offered for literary boundary crossing and adaptation, and at the role of regions and urban centers as multilingual hubs. This collection demonstrates the centrality of transnational perspectives for elucidating the complex inter-relationship between Netherlandic and European literary history. The Low Countries were a dynamic site for new literary production and transnational exchange that shaped and reshaped the intellectual landscape of premodern Europe. Contributors include: Lia van Gemert, Lucas van der Deijl, Feike Dietz, Paul Wackers, David Napolitano, James A. Parente, Jr., Frank Willaert, Youri Desplenter, Bart Besamusca, Frans R.E. Blom, and Jan Bloemendal.

Volume II covers the Implementation of the concept and the pioneering years of the PCIJ (1921-1946). Volume III addresses the seventy-five years of the ICJ (1946-2022).
"The Stars of Eternal Truth and Right"
"Die Waffen nieder!" Three words established one woman's lasting repute worldwide. They bespoke of who Bertha von Suttner (1843-1914) was: intrepid and forthright. Bertha von Suttner - an Austrian novelist, radical pacifist, and the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize - was the type of woman the Belle Epoque needed to turn the destiny of womanhood around. She campaigned passionately against social injustice in whatever shape it presented itself, be this overt militarism, rigid conservatism, the oppression of women, or anti-Semitism. The Hague Peace Conferences of 1899 and 1907 were the undisputable highlights of Bertha's long career as an engaged peace activist. This book focuses on Bertha von Suttner's tenets and aspirations with regard to the emerging international tradition in The Hague. The book captures the gist of her views and ideals by way of hundreds of citations gathered from her memoirs, diaries, and correspondence; the rich yield of her unstoppable scholarly, literary, and journalistic endeavors.
