The International Court of Justice has a twofold role.
First, it settles, in accordance with international law, legal disputes submitted to it by States. Such disputes may concern, in particular, land frontiers, maritime boundaries, territorial sovereignty, the non use of force, violation of international humanitarian law, non interference in the internal affairs of States, diplomatic relations, hostage taking, the right of asylum, nationality, guardianship, rights of passage and economic rights.
Second, the ICJ gives advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by duly authorized United Nations organs and agencies. These opinions can clarify the ways in which such organizations may lawfully function, or strengthen their authority in relation to their member States.
The ICJ consists of 15 judges, all from different countries, who are elected for a period of nine years and can be re-elected. One third of the composition of the Court is renewed every three years. The President of the Court is elected by his peers every three years; the current President is Judge Ronny Abraham from France. The hearings of the ICJ are always public. French and English are the official languages of the Court
The Peace Palace in The Hague houses the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the United Nations International Court of Justice and the Hague Academy of International Law. These institutions are supported by the Peace Palace Library, one of the most prestigious libraries in its field. The Carnegie Foundation owns and manages the Peace Palace.

I took this photo trough the holes of the fence. The Peace Palace houses the International Court of Justice ( judicial body of the United Nations), the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA), The Hague Academy of International Law and the Peace Palace Library. The impressive building is build in Neo-Renaissance style. After an open international competition Louis M. Cordonnier and his Dutch colleague designer mr. Van der Steur made the design for the Peace Palace. It is an international symbol for peace.
Nederlands
Het Vredespaleis huisvest het Internationaal Gerechtshof (rechterlijk orgaan van de Verenigde Naties), het Permanent Hof van Arbitrage (PCA), de Haagse Academie voor Internationaal Recht en de Bibliotheek van het Vredespaleis. Het indrukwekkende gebouw is gebouwd in neorenaissancestijl. Na een open internationale architectuurwedstrijd hebben Louis M. Cordonnier en zijn Nederlandse collega ontwerper dhr. Van der Steur het ontwerp voor het Vredespaleis gemaakt. Het paleis is een internationaal symbool voor vrede. Op 31 december 2021 was het paleis gesloten en heb ik de foto gemaakt door een van de openingen tussen de mooie pilaren van het hekwerk.

Peace Palace
The Peace Palace (Dutch: Vredespaleis; is an international law administrative building in The Hague, the Netherlands. It houses the International Court of Justice (which is the principal judicial body of the United Nations), the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the Hague Academy of International Law and the Peace Palace Library. The Palace officially opened on 28 August 1913, and was originally built to provide a home for the Permanent Court of Arbitration, a court created to end war by the Hague Convention of 1899. Andrew Dickson White, whose efforts were instrumental in creating the court, secured from his friend American steel magnate Andrew Carnegie US$1.5 million ($40,000,000, adjusted for inflation) to build the Peace Palace.

Excerpt from denhaag.com/en/world-peace-flame:
The World Peace Flame is a flame in Wales that has been burning non-stop since 1999. Attention is drawn to world peace by spreading this flame. The first world peace flame in the Netherlands was installed next to the gates of the Peace Palace on 18 April 2002. The column reads: ‘World Peace, Flame”. Since 2004, the monument is surrounded by a ring of 196 pebbles and rocks from 196 countries. Some stones carry special meaning; for example, a piece of rubble from the Berlin Wall and a rock from Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for years.
The World Peace Flame is a sign of hope and an instrument for inspiring people to work on a better world. The design of the monument is based on the elements fire, water, earth and air, each depicted symbolically in all its simplicity and naturalness.

All we need now is World peace!
‘Het Vredespaleis’ in The Hague originated from the ideals of pacifism and world peace. When the Peace Palace was finished in 1913, the palace was just as grand as the idea of world peace itself. Today the building is still used by the International Court of Justice, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the Peace Palace Library, as well as by The Hague Academy of International Law.

Peace Palace, aka International Court of Justice, in The Hague, Netherlands. In Dutch, the building is called Vredespaleis and the city Den Haag.
Architectural modernism meets traditional art. People enjoy strolling and cycling out of the Palace’s gate, under heavily cloud-laden, autumnal skies. They are confident that their rights are assured by Justice on earth.
One is reminded of Aeschylus’s poem lines:
“The anvil of Justice is planted firm, and fate who makes the sword does the forging in advance.”
—Aeschylus (The Libation Bearers, I.646)
Original text, in ancient Greek:
« Δίκας δ᾽ ἐρείδεται πυθμήν·
προχαλκεύει δ᾽ Αἶσα φασγανουργός »
—Αἰσχύλος (Χοηφόροι, αʹ στάσιμον, στίχ. 646–647)

Vrede in Dutch... or peace in English.. will we ever see it? In the whole world? In our lifetime? ♥
I wore this cute summer dress (the 2nd dress of my ROMWE haul) while visiting the square and monuments in front of the Peace Palace in the Hauge, where one can also find the International Court of Justice. A very important institution though clearly not enough to deal with all the evil people in the world.

La Haye aux Pays-bas, à l'entrée du Palais de la paix, vous pouvez trouver un grand arbre et des morceaux de papiers où vous êtes libres d'écrire un petit message, de paix évidemment. L'endroit, très sérieux, regorge de papiers griffonnés par des touristes du monde entier. Mais nul ne sait si ces messages sont lus par les dirigeants du palais.
The Hague - Netherlands, at the entrance to the Peace Palace, you can find a large tree and pieces of paper where you are free to write a little message, of course about peace. The place, very serious, is full of scribbled papers by tourists from around the world. But no one knows if these messages are read by the palace leaders.
