    "description": "The city of The Hague has a special relationship with Peace and Justice. This booklet links up many centuries of legal developments in The Hague at national and international level with what can still be seen on our city\u2019s streets today. We have chosen a continuous storyline in which legal \u2018fun facts\u2019 and developments are clearly elucidated without any unnecessary legalese, commencing at the time when torture was still the norm, and ending with the fight against cybercrime.\n\nThe book also devotes a lot of attention to real flesh-and-blood people who had considerable influence on the developments discussed, not only because they deserve such attention, but also to underline the fact that it pays to think ahead, then and now.\n\nThe numerous photos, drawings and cartoons serve to illustrate the story, although they also tell their own story of fortitude and moving with the times.\n\n \n\nWillem van Genugten is emeritus professor of International Law at Tilburg University.\nJudith van Hoogdalem is advisor at the Department for the Preservation of Historic Buildings at the Municipality of The Hague.",
