Abstract:

The celebration of the Academy’s Centenary in May 2023 merited first and foremost a solemn ceremony offering a platform for the leading experts of the institution to retrace its journey over its first hundred years, its links with the city of The Hague, with the Netherlands, with the Peace Palace, but also to show its relationship with the International Court of Justice, and, of course, to discuss the courses given at the Academy. It was equally important to look ahead to the Academy’s future. Its Centenary also called for a major Colloquium dedicated to international law. For the occasion, the Academy brought together a unique panel of leading figures from the international academic and judicial world to discuss the major themes of public interest in international law, the humanisation of international law and to tackle other burning issues such as extraterritoriality and climate change, among others. This book represents a written and indelible record of these two memorable events which marked the Academy’s “first“ centenary.
