The Netherlands pursues an Atlanticist foreign policy firmly anchored in NATO and the EU. It advocates for free trade, fiscal discipline within the eurozone, human rights, and international rule of law. The country is a strong supporter of the ICC and international criminal justice.
Key priorities include European security (the Netherlands is a significant NATO contributor), transatlantic trade, managing migration, and water management expertise as a form of diplomacy. The Netherlands has also been at the forefront of holding Russia accountable for the downing of MH17 and has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine.
