Customer Satisfaction Survey

Dear Library user, 

The Peace Palace Library will soon conduct a customer satisfaction survey. We have approached the independent research agency Enneüs to conduct this survey for us. The library greatly appreciates your feedback, as it will help us continue to improve the quality of our services. 

Start of Survey 

On August 7th, we will send out an invitation to participate in the survey. The survey will be conducted using an online questionnaire and will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. 

Privacy and Anonymity 

Enneüs will, of course, treat all responses with the utmost confidentiality. 

We would greatly appreciate it if you would take a moment to participate in the survey by completing the questionnaire. 

Thank you in advance for your participation and feedback! 

Sincerely, 

The staff of the Peace Palace Library

Climate Change and the Testing of International Law

The Court will deliver its Advisory Opinion on the Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change on Wednesday 23 July 2025 at 3 pm (The Hague, The Netherlands).

From Monday 2 December to Friday 13 December, the ICJ held public hearings on the request for an advisory opinion regarding the Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change. An unprecedented number of States and international organizations participated in the oral proceedings: 98 States and 12 international organizations. The PPL has created a special page for the bibliography about Climate Change and the Testing of International Law: A Selective Bibliography by Ms. Eveline van Trigt. Previous versions of the Bibliography (without highlights) can be found at the bottom of that page.
