The Hague Institute for Global Justice, or simply The Hague Institute, is an international think tank based in The Hague, Netherlands. The Institute was established in 2011 by a consortium of partners including the Municipality of The Hague, an academic coalition of Hague-based organizations and with support from the Dutch government. Independent and non-partisan, The Hague Institute focuses on interdisciplinary research in three perspectives: conflict prevention, rule of law, and global governance.
Abiodun Williams, former Senior Vice President at the U.S. Institute of Peace and former Director of Strategic Planning for UN Secretaries-General Kofi Annan and Ban Ki-moon, is the president of The Hague Institute.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright chairs the Institute’s Advisory Council.
The Hague Institute works at the intersection of peace, security and justice and according to its website, “aims to contribute to, and further strengthen, the global framework for preventing and resolving conflict and promoting international peace.”
The Hague Institute is supported by an Advisory Council who serve as a "strategic sounding board" for the president of the Institute. Dr. Abiodun Williams was appointed as the Institute's first president on January 1, 2013. Williams previously served as Senior Vice President of the Center for Conflict Management at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) in Washington, D.C. He was preceded by Professor Willem van Genugten who served as Interim Dean of the Institute from September 2011 to December 2012. Professor Nico Schrijver, Academic Director of the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies at Leiden University served as the Institute's first dean between January and August 2011.
