​Peace and Justice .net is a professional network for international lawyers and legally trained professionals working across peace, justice, governance, and high-risk global environments.

​

Founded in 2015 in The Hague, the network supports professionals navigating complex international careers at the intersection of public institutions, non-profit organizations, and the private sector, where legal frameworks play a decisive role in shaping accountability, stability, and long-term resilience.

​​

​

Our Heritage

​

Peace and Justice .net was established in The Hague as a platform bringing together legally trained professionals engaged in international law, public institutions, academia, and civil society.

​​

From its inception, the initiative attracted lawyers and senior international figures committed to strengthening legal infrastructures underpinning peace and justice. Over time, the network developed a strong understanding of how international legal careers actually unfold—across institutions, sectors, and geopolitical contexts.

​

This long-term perspective remains central to our identity.

​

​

Our Vision for the Future

​

Peace and Justice .net has evolved in response to a changing professional and institutional landscape.

​​

While the mission remains anchored in peace and justice, the network today focuses on career navigation, institutional literacy, and professional credibility rather than advocacy or activism.

​​

In practice, this means:

• supporting international lawyers in translating their experience across public, non-profit, and private-sector roles,

• helping organizations and HR leaders better understand non-linear international legal career paths,

• facilitating discreet exchanges between practitioners and institutions,

• and promoting realistic, sustainable career development in complex global environments.

​​

The network operates as professional infrastructure, not a campaign or community movement.

​​

​​

Our Perspective

​​

Peace and justice outcomes are no longer produced by public institutions alone. They increasingly emerge from interconnected legal, regulatory, and economic systems, where enforcement, compliance, governance, and accountability intersect.

​​

Peace and Justice .net aims to be a reference community  for international lawyers operating within this reality — offering clarity, perspective, and professional grounding across sectors.

 

The network remains deliberately:

• non-political,

• non-commercial,

• and independent,

while maintaining high standards of discretion, rigor, and institutional credibility.

​​

​​

Who the Network is For

​​

Peace and Justice .net is designed for:

• international lawyers and legally trained professionals,

• early-career to senior practitioners navigating global roles,

• professionals working with or alongside international organizations,

• and institutions seeking to engage thoughtfully with this category of talent.

​​​

It is not a general advocacy community, campaign platform, or job board.
