The Hague Justice Portal (in French: 'Portail judiciaire de La Haye' ) is a website that promotes, and provides greater access to, the institutions, courts and organisations in The Hague, The Netherlands, working in the field of international peace, justice and security. The Portal was officially launched by Her Royal Highness Princess Margriet of the Netherlands in The Hague on 6 April 2006.〔(Hague Justice Portal )〕 The Portal is a gateway to the legal activities taking place in The Hague, a city which, in the words of former United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Kofi Annan, "''amply deserves its reputation as the International City of Peace and Justice''".〔(UN Secretary-General )〕 An innovative project created by the Hague Academic Coalition, the Portal was officially launched in April 2006. In addition to the core legal institutions in The Hague such as the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the Portal promotes, and provides greater access to, the work and the development of the large number of other international organisations, institutes and research centres based in The Hague, which are relevant to the pursuit of international peace, justice and security. The management of the Portal was transferred to a committee led by Mark P Dillon and Philipp Amann on the 1st of March 2014 and a new stream-lined version of the website was created. Dillon and Amann have a background in public international organisations, are well connected in The Hague and have a strong vision for the future of the site.〔(Cf. the website. )〕 In April 2014 David Beresford joined the executive management team of the site, bringing expertise in matters of judicial technology, as well as website management. In July 2015 Florence Olara joined the board of directors and will hold the position of Strategic Director. She is also leading a number of specific projects. ==Sections of the Portal== The Portal itself comprises five main sections: ‘News and Events’, ‘Projects’, ‘Academic Research’, ‘The Hague’ and ‘Portal’. ''News and Events'': This (news section ) includes up-to-date information about what happens in the international courts and about their crucial judgments and decisions, issued from official sources and edited by legal experts.

The first one is undertaken in close collaboration with the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) for the sake of digitalising a number of the (Court’s historic international arbitral awards ) which were previously unavailable in electronic format. The second one is called the (DomCLIC project ), which is a pilot for an ever-expanding database of domestic jurisprudence relating to international criminal law from countries all over the world.〔(Court’s historic international arbitral awards )〕〔(DomCLIC project )〕 In April 2014, Colette O'Donovan agreed to lead a new project.
