The Peace Palace, of 1913, paid for by the industrialist Andrew Carnegie, is the seat of the United Nations International Court of Justice and the Permanent Court of Arbitration. That is why you cannot just walk in: the site can only be visited on a guided visit, and there are three: inside the palace, outside around the building and through the garden.

Tickets go on sale on its website about two weeks before each date and sell out. If there is no space, from the gates on the Carnegieplein you get a good view of the façade, about ten minutes on foot from the Panorama Mesdag.
