    The paper presents the reasons for the second Hague Congress (1953) and its main events. This Congress fi nds its origins in the Ad Hoc Assembly, created in the framework of the European Defence Community treaty, and aiming at working out a European Political Community. Confronted to the prevarications of some governments and political parties regarding the ratifi cation of the EDC, the Second Congress was convened between European civil society organisations, in order to assert the necessity of a political community in front of the public opinion. After the ratifi cation failed in the French parliament, the whole project was abandoned.
