On International Criminal Justice Day, London highlights the urgent need for states to strengthen their commitment to justice for victims of international crimes. The International Bar Association’s ICC & ICL Programme has called for increased support for the Rome Statute system. This system is central to prosecuting crimes such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity globally.
By backing the Rome Statute, states can ensure:
- Effective legal proceedings
- Better protections for victims
The day serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of global cooperation in fighting impunity and upholding justice. With ongoing conflicts and atrocities worldwide, the call for justice is more pressing than ever.
The IBA’s ICC & ICL Programme emphasizes the role of:
- Legal professionals
- Governments
in this collective effort. Enhanced support and adherence to international legal frameworks can restore faith in justice systems and offer hope to victims. As the world observes this significant day, it reinforces the message that justice must be accessible and unwavering.
