On International Criminal Justice Day, there is a strong call for states worldwide to commit to justice for victims of international crimes. The International Bar Association’s ICC & ICL Programme emphasizes the importance of supporting the Rome Statute system. This system serves as a foundation for prosecuting serious crimes such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The Rome Statute plays a crucial role in holding perpetrators accountable and delivering justice to victims.
The International Bar Association highlights the need for stronger cooperation among states to ensure the effective functioning of international criminal justice systems. By upholding the principles enshrined in the Rome Statute, countries can contribute to a safer and more just global society. Victims deserve recognition, support, and the opportunity for their voices to be heard through fair legal processes.
This day serves as a reminder to:
- Strengthen international cooperation
- Reinforce commitments to combat impunity
- Advocate for the protection of victims’ rights
- Enforce international criminal law
It also calls on legal professionals, policymakers, and civil society to engage actively in these efforts. Stay tuned for Deep Dives for more latest updates.
