International Justice Day provides an opportunity to recognize the importance of the ICC’s work and to support its efforts in upholding justice and human rights. The ICC plays a crucial role in ending impunity for the perpetrators of heinous crimes and providing a sense of closure and justice for the victims.
Moreover, International Justice Day is not only about the ICC but also about promoting a culture of accountability and human rights in every corner of the world. It emphasizes the need for domestic legal systems to address and prosecute human rights abuses effectively.
It reminds governments and societies to uphold the rule of law, ensure access to justice, and protect the rights of their citizens.
This day also serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges in achieving justice on a global scale. In many parts of the world, conflicts, political instability, and weak legal systems pose significant obstacles to achieving justice for victims. Lack of resources, political will, and cooperation from states can hinder the progress towards accountability and the protection of human rights.
