On 24 and 25 March 2014 the Netherlands will welcome 58 world leaders, 5,000 delegates and 3,000 journalists which will attend to the Nuclear Security Summit (NSS), the largest gathering of its kind ever held in this country.

Why the Hague ?

The International Nuclear Security Summit 2014 conference (NSS 2014) will be taking place in the World Forum in The Hague on 24 and 25 March 2014. The world leaders will be meeting to agree on measures aimed at preventing nuclear terrorism.

Thanks to the presence of many international organisations in this field in The Hague, the city enjoys an international reputation as the City of Peace and Justice. One major reason for this is the presence of the Peace Palace, the symbol of hope for a better world, as well as the International Zone where many international organisations are based, such as Europol and the OPCW, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2013.

Themes of NSS 2014

• Reducing the amount of dangerous nuclear material in the world
• Improving the security of all nuclear material and radioactive sources
• Improving international cooperation

Negotiators from the countries and organizations that will participate in the 2014 Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) were meeting in January (13 -15) in Pattaya/Thailand for what is likely to be the final preparatory meeting ahead of the Summit in March. (Full text)
