He noted the Institute's openness to cultural diversity and global sensitivities, and highlighted the significance of holding the current session in Morocco under the leadership of a Moroccan figure renowned for defending international law. The King recalled the Institute's historical role since 1873 in shaping legal standards and its recognition with the 1904 Nobel Peace Prize. He emphasized that the conference should reaffirm international law as a guiding beacon for a global vision. Founded in Ghent, Belgium, in 1873, the Institute is the world's oldest body dedicated to developing international law. It has continued its work for over 150 years, except during the world wars, bringing together leading judges, experts, and scholars. The Institute remains the first institution ever to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 1904 for advancing arbitration as a peaceful means of settling disputes.
