When is World Day for International Justice

The World Day for International Justice is observed on July 17 every year to recognize the strengthening system of international justice and also to promote the rights of the victims. Also known as the Day of International Criminal Justice, it marks the importance of fighting against impunity and bringing justice for the victims of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.
Why is World Day for International Justice celebrated?
 
The World Day for International Justice is celebrated to commemorate the historic adoption of the Rome Statute and establishment of the new system of international criminal justice in the year 1998.
 
The establishment of International Criminal Court (ICC) is viewed as a historic moment  for peace and the rule of law. It is the first permanent and independent international judicial institution capable of trying individuals accused of serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights. The ICC does not replace national courts, but it is available when a country can't or won't carry out investigations or prosecute perpetrators.
 
Over 139 countries have signed the Court's treaty. Nearly 80 states, representative of every region of the world, have ratified it.
 
The day reminds us to highlight the importance of the International Criminal Court and the work it does to bring about justice for victims. It calls on all countries to join the fight against impunity, so that perpetrators of crimes are punished, and to help prevent future occurrences. This day also attracts people around the world to pay attention to serious issues and warn those people who affect peace, security, and well-being of nations at risk.
 
Every year, on July 17, various events around the world are organised to promote and support the ICC.
