Hague conference. A conference of representatives of different States to consider the question of international peace and kindred subjects. So called because the place of meeting has been The Hague in South Holland (Netherlands). The first Hague Conference was the outcome of a circular letter of the Czar of Russia handed to all the foreign representatives accredited to the Court of St. Petersburg on the 24th August, 1898, and as a result the first Peace Conference met on 18th May, 1899. This conference brought about the creation of a Permanent Court of Arbitration, and each of the Powers signing the Hague Arbitration Convention could appoint four persons, who constituted a panel or general list of arbitrators from which as occasion arises selection can be made.
