The Hague Approach refers to a set of six principles drafted to assist policymakers, diplomats, and international aid workers with peacebuilding operations in conflict settings. The six principles are:

  • Prevention Matters
  • Fostering a Rule of Law Culture
  • A Network Response
  • Private Sector Engagement
  • Strategic Communication
  • Responsibility to Learn
  • The Principles were drafted by The Hague Institute for Global Justice, and launched at the centenary celebrations of the Peace Palace on August 28, 2013. The principles were presented to King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, in the Palace’s Great Hall of Justice. The Hague Approach Principles have subsequently been endorsed by current and former UN and global leaders including San-Hyun Song, Judy Cheng-Hopkins and Jan Eliasson.
