On International Criminal Justice Day, the International Bar Association’s ICC & ICL Programme has urged states worldwide to strengthen their support for the Rome Statute system. This system plays a crucial role in delivering justice to victims of severe international crimes such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
The IBA emphasizes that full commitment from states is essential to uphold accountability and ensure that victims receive the justice they deserve. With ongoing global challenges, the need for robust cooperation and adherence to international criminal law has never been greater.
The call to action highlights how effective implementation of the Rome Statute fosters:
- Peace
- Security
- Fairness on a global scale
Through collective efforts, the international community can strengthen mechanisms to prevent impunity and protect human rights.
The IBA’s appeal coincides with the day’s focus on raising awareness about the importance of international criminal justice systems. Stay tuned for Deep Dives for more latest updates.
