In the early 20th century, two entrepreneurs from The Hague planned to build a World Peace City in the Oostduinen. Things turned out differently. On the highest peak in the imposing dune landscape - the Oostduinen - where they wanted to see the Peace Palace rise, the International Criminal Court has been located since 2002. The area around it has by no means become a peace paradise. It is a guilty landscape, where recent history has left deep marks. There are reminders of the Cold War and buildings that play a prominent role in maintaining peace and international law.
