On International Criminal Justice Day, the International Bar Association’s ICC & ICL Programme has issued an important appeal to states around the world to reaffirm their dedication to justice for victims of serious crimes. This global call emphasizes the significance of supporting the Rome Statute system, which is the foundation of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The ICC plays a vital role in holding accountable those responsible for war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. The International Bar Association stresses the need for state parties to:
- Enhance their cooperation with the ICC
- Ensure victims receive justice and reparations
The ultimate goal is to strengthen the global justice system to:
- Deter future crimes
- Amplify the voices of victims, who are often overlooked
International Criminal Justice Day serves as an important reminder of the continuous need to protect human rights and uphold international law. The IBA’s message reinforces that justice should be both accessible and effective, urging all nations to actively engage in advancing this mission.
