Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs)

In addition to the large and well-known organisations as the International Criminal Court and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, The Hague also plays host to a large number of non-governmental organisations.

These NGOs monitor and try to exert influence over the large governmental organizations as well as promote greater awareness in a variety of areas.

The Hague is home to NGOs active on a number of fronts. However, the most important front is the area of peace and justice. Of the more than 90 NGOs and other internationally-oriented organisations that are based in The Hague, more then half of them are active in the area of peace and justice.
