Excerpt from The Proceedings of the Hague Peace Conferences, Vol. 1: The Conference of 1907; Plenary Meetings of the Conference The Peace Conferences held at The Hague were the first truly international assemblies meeting in time of peace for the purpose of preserving peace, not of vvi prefatory note concluding a war then in progress. They marked an epoch in the history of inter national relations. They showed ou a large scale that international cooperation was possible, and they created institutions - imperfect it may be, as is the work of human hands, - which, when improved in the light of experience, will both by themselves and by the force of their example promote the administration of justice and the betterment of mankind.
