On December 14, 2015, the ICC finalized its move into its new, permanent premises, located at Oude Waalsdorperweg 10, 2597 AK, The Hague, the Netherlands.As a permanent judicial institution, the ICC requires functional permanent premises to enable the Court to execute its duties effectively and to reflect the significance of the ICC in the fight against impunity for crimes of concern to the international community. The Assembly of States Parties decided that the ICC should be provided with newly built permanent premises and the Permanent Premises Project is underway: Construction was scheduled to start in the Autumn of 2012 and to be completed towards the end of 2015, when the premises were ready for use.The Permanent Premises Project's goal was to create the optimum balance between quality, functionality and cost, providing the States Parties who established and continue to support the ICC with the best possible long term value for money.The host state (Netherlands) made the construction site available free of charge and provided a loan to finance the construction. In addition, the host state organised and financed the architectural design competition which started at the end of 2008.Three architects were chosen by an international jury from a total of 171 applicants to enter into further negotiations. The Danish firm schmidt hammer lassen were ultimately selected to design the new premises since its design met all the ICC criteria, such as design quality, sustainability, functionality and costs. In October 2012 the tendering procedure for the General Contractor was completed and the combination Visser & Smit Bouw and Boele & van Eesteren (“Courtys”) was selected for the realisation of the ICC’s Permanent Premises.The new Court is situated between the dunes landscape and the edge of The Hague on the site of the Alexanderkazerne (a former military barracks complex) on the corner of van Alkemadelaan and Oude Waalsdorperweg. The demolition of the barracks started in November 2011 and was completed in August 2012.The new site is situated close to the ICC's detention centre and to major roads, and it is part of the International Zone of The Hague which also contains the Peace Palace, Europol, ICTY, OPCW and The Hague World Forum."@en }
