(PRESS RELEASE) THE HAGUE, 9-Sep-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — In celebration of the 125th anniversary of the first Hague Peace Conference, Eurojust is set to take part in the Just Peace Open Day 2024, an event that will bring peace and justice organizations from across The Hague together to connect with the public. The event will take place on 22 September 2024, with Eurojust hosting its activities at the House of Europe, located in the heart of The Hague.

Children can also get involved in the day’s activities, with a special evidence-finding challenge designed to introduce them to the world of justice and crime-solving in an engaging and educational way.

In addition to these interactive activities, two key presentations will be offered. Eurojust Vice-President Boštjan Škrlec will present in English from 10:30 to 11:30, while Dutch Liaison Prosecutor Alexander Van Dam will deliver a Dutch-language presentation from 14:30 to 15:30.
