The City of International Law

The Hague hosts the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and around 200 other international organisations — more than any city except New York and Geneva. It is the seat of government without being the capital, a Dutch arrangement that has held since 1584.

The clock: the ICJ works on UTC+1 but schedules around the availability of delegations spread across every time zone, which is why its hearings start unusually early in the morning.
