Council of State, Supreme court and administrative court in The Hague, Netherlands
The Council of State operates from a building at Korte Voorhout, serving as both the highest administrative court and an advisory body to the Dutch government.
The Council of State emerged in 1531 under Philip of Burgundy and developed into a central institution for administrative justice and government consultation.
The institution maintains constitutional principles by reviewing legislative proposals and ensuring administrative decisions align with Dutch legal frameworks.
Dutch citizens and organizations can file appeals against governmental administrative decisions through the Council of State's judicial department.
The Council combines two distinct functions: the highest administrative court authority and the primary advisory body for Dutch legislation.
