Peace Palace- New Academic Building

The Academic Building of the Peace Palace contains the library, and conference rooms. We were using it as our reception area.





The red wall is an art piece by a Dutch artist, which contains the template of all the countries around the world.

Peace Palace VI

The Great Hall of Justice is the very hall room used by the International Court of Justice when it delivers its judgements.

We had the privilege of using it for the finals of our competition!!!

The bench, composed of 15 judges from 15 States around the world. (Unfairly) the 5 permenant members of the Security Council always has one representing judge each.





Peace Palace IV
