On International Criminal Justice Day, legal experts and human rights advocates emphasize the urgent need for states to recommit to justice for victims of serious crimes. The International Bar Association’s ICC & ICL Programme underlines strong support for the Rome Statute system, the core framework for international criminal law. This system aims to hold perpetrators accountable for crimes such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
Many believe that reinforcing this global justice mechanism is crucial to delivering justice and ending impunity. The day serves as a reminder that victims’ rights remain at the center of international efforts and that states must actively participate in and support criminal justice initiatives.
The IBA highlights that a dedicated commitment from countries worldwide will:
- Strengthen legal processes
- Promote peace and security
Strengthening the Rome Statute is seen as a key step towards creating a safer and fairer world. Stay tuned for Deep Dives for more latest updates.
