On International Criminal Justice Day, the International Bar Association’s (IBA) ICC & ICL Programme issued a strong call for states to fully support the Rome Statute system. The Rome Statute forms the foundation of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which seeks to hold perpetrators of serious crimes accountable and deliver justice to victims worldwide.
The IBA emphasized the following key points:
- The importance of state commitment to strengthen the Rome Statute legal framework.
- Ensuring victims receive the justice and reparations they deserve.
- Combating impunity for international crimes including genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
This day underscores ongoing global efforts to promote peace, security, and the rule of law by supporting the ICC and its statutes. The IBA’s call is especially critical now amidst increasing challenges to international justice in various parts of the world, making state involvement more urgent than ever.
The Rome Statute system not only holds criminals accountable but also provides a voice and recognition to victims, reinforcing the moral and legal obligations of the global community.
