A Call to Action
The World Day for International Justice is an annual event dedicated to promoting accountability, justice, and the rule of law on a global scale.
It’s a day to raise awareness of the importance of international justice and to promote the fight against impunity for serious crimes.
The Creation of World Day for International Justice:
The World Day for International Justice was established on July 17, 2010, following the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This treaty, which created the ICC as a permanent international criminal tribunal, was a response to the pressing need for justice on a global scale. It seeks to promote the values of accountability, fairness, and the prevention of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide.
The event was crafted to honor the enduring principles of international law and to promote a world where no one is above the law. It also serves as a platform for victims and affected communities to share their stories, ensuring their voices are heard and justice is pursued.
