The Peace Palace Library has (paid) subscriptions to online content of a growing collection of electronic journals, legal databases and e-books. The Library’s users have access to these e-resources from inside the library’s reading room. In most cases, no login is required, but sometimes you need a username and password, which you can get from the service desk.
You can search our collection of more than 2000 unique electronic journals. We have online content of journals through HeinOnline, Westlaw, Cambridge, Oxford and many others.

The Recueil des cours, the collected courses of the Hague Academy of International Law, is a renowned collection of volumes on both international public and private law, written by the most influential professors and experts, dating from 1923. The entire collection is available online from inside the library’s reading room. You may browse the collection by year, by volume, by author or by keyword.
On the FAQ page, we provide answers to the most frequently asked questions on the access to our electronic resources.
In special circumstances it is now possible to users of our library to login from outside the library. At this moment it is only possible to do so after the library has agreed to a request for allowing remote access. You can direct your formal request to peacelib1@peacepalacelibrary.nl.
In the near future a new provision will be introduced. We are developing a so called e-pass to give users the right to consult our e-resources from outside the library building. The e-pass will cost money and will only be provided if the user has a library card. The e-pass is handed over in the library and can not be ordered by mail or telephone.
In order to prevent any misuse a thorough monitoring of e-pass use will be applied.
