Peace Palace Library fr en

General Introduction
The Library of the Peace Palace has one of the world's largest collections in the field of international law, public and private law, and foreign national law. The Library also has an extensive collection on international political and diplomatic history and the history of peace movements. Located on the same historic premises as the Permanent Court of Arbitration and the International Court of Justice, the Library additionally houses the Grotius Collection, the collection on the reverent 17th century Dutchman, Hugo de Groot, founder of the science of international law.

In November 2006, the Library was relocated in a new building behind the Peace Palace. The Library is only open to visitors during the week although the pristine grounds of the Peace Palace alone are well worth the visit.
