On the occasion of the bicentennial of the Dutch Constitution, the
Cartoon Movement, together with
Word Press Photo, the City of The Hague and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched on 29 March 2014 the
Peace and Justice cartoon project at the Peace Palace in The Hague, The Netherlands.
With reference to Article 90 of the Constitution, which provides that "The Government shall promote the development of the international rule of law", the project aims at triggering a debate on peace and justice through a series of guest lectures in several countries and the sharing of ideas that will follow these lectures. The students will be invited to share their thoughts by sending their tweets, sketches, comments and photos, that professional cartoonists will then transform into cartoons.
Here is a presentation of the project:
