On International Criminal Justice Day, global attention focuses on the urgent need for justice for victims of serious crimes worldwide. The International Bar Association’s (IBA) ICC & ICL Programme emphasizes strong support for the Rome Statute system, which underpins the International Criminal Court (ICC). This system aims to hold perpetrators accountable and provide justice for victims of war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity.
The IBA urges all states to renew their commitment to this vital framework, ensuring victims receive recognition and reparations. Strengthening international criminal justice systems not only deters future atrocities but also affirms global solidarity with victims everywhere.
The IBA’s call to action highlights the importance of:
- Cooperation across borders
- Enforcement of justice mechanisms
- Upholding human rights globally
