From then, they will have the chance to meet representatives from the Hague Conference on International Law. Eurojust is the next destination, where participants will learn more about how the EU coordinates in order to tackle the most serious of cross-border crimes. The last sightseeing point is the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons*, which is located on Johan de Witlaan.

2) The CENTRAL tour C starts at Prinsegracht, with a visit to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the largest security-oriented organization in the world. After that, participants will get to visit Europe House, the home of the Netherlands’ PermRep to the EU, and the Representation of the European Commission.
