In addition it hosts the European police organization, Europol; and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

Famous quotes containing the word law:
“The law of nature is alternation for evermore. Each electrical state superinduces the opposite. The soul environs itself with friends, that it may enter into a grander self-acquaintance or solitude; and it goes alone for a season, that it may exalt its conversation or society.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
