Aims
JUDICAP is a research centre and publishing firm on internationalism in the widest sense. Its province are the history, current state and aspirations of international law, international organization and peace studies. As the name JUDIcial CAPital suggests, its primary aims and core business are the promotion of The Hague as an international centre of justice, peace and security.


Province
JUDICAP operates from an essentially interdisciplinary approach. At the invitation of ministeries and embassies, local authorities, university centres and musea and art galleries at home and abroad, JUDICAP arranges permanent exposition centres and produces international exhibitions and multimedia presentations which travel all over the world. JUDICAP publishes books, catalogues, brochures and factsheets, develops databases, and arranges lectures and powerpoint presentations both at the expert academic level and to serve wider educational purposes. JUDICAP emphatically seeks to bridge the gap between the world of learning and the interested layman.


On 18 October 2007, during a special meeting of the Administrative Council of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Peace Palace in The Hague, the first copy of Arthur Eyffinger's new book on the Second Hague Peace Conference of 1907 was presented to the Council's acting President Mr. Max van der Stoel.



This book is the successor of the author's monumental and ASIL Award-winning commemorative books on the International Court of Justice (1996) and the First Hague Peace Conference (1999). The present publication links its two predecessors in bridging the gap between that first seminal gathering of the nations in The Hague in 1899 and the institutionalization of the international judicature in 1922.
  • Sweeping Panorama of the Period
  • Rich Analysis of the Conventions
  • Scores of Excerpts from Speeches of Delegates
  • Captivating Review of the Social Entourage
  • Dazzling Display of Photographs, Historical Documents and Cartoons.
