The Netherlands Institute of International Relations, so called because it is housed in a building of the same name in Clingendael Park in The Hague. Providing eloquent evidence of the desirability of the location, during the Second World War the house was seized and occupied by Seyss-Inquart, the Nazi Commissioner for the Netherlands. The Clingendael Institute, established in 1983 and enjoying 40 per cent budget support from the Dutch ministries of foreign affairs and defence, is, among other things, one of Europe\'s leading diplomatic academies. |
