International Call from London: States Urged to Deliver Justice for Victims on Criminal Justice Day
Deepdives 
On International Criminal Justice Day, the International Bar Association (IBA) has made a significant appeal to states worldwide to uphold justice for victims of crimes. The IBA’s ICC & ICL Programme strongly supports the Rome Statute system, which aims to hold accountable those responsible for serious international crimes.
The Rome Statute established the International Criminal Court (ICC), a vital institution seeking justice on a global scale against grave offenses such as:
- genocide,
- war crimes,
- and crimes against humanity.
The IBA emphasizes that a robust commitment from states will ensure:
- effective prosecution,
- victim support,
- and reinforcement of global peace and security.
Strengthening cooperation with the ICC helps prevent impunity and encourages national legal systems to act decisively. To raise awareness, the IBA has launched visual campaigns highlighting the importance of the statute.
As conflicts and violations persist across various regions, international solidarity and legal action remain essential. The message from London underscores that justice for victims is not merely a legal obligation but a moral imperative for all countries.
