STORYLINE:
Dozens of climate activists attempted to block a highway near The Hague on Monday ahead of an annual NATO summit, urging leaders to prioritise environmental issues and accelerate peacebuilding efforts.
Demonstrators tried to block the A44 highway near Lisse, about 30 kilometres (over 18 miles) north east of The Hague, but Dutch police blocked their path and made several arrests.
Several other demonstrations are expected in The Hague on Tuesday and Wednesday, as NATO leaders including U.S President Donald Trump will be in the city.
