International Justice Day, observed on July 17 every year, is a global event that highlights the importance of justice, fairness, and accountability in maintaining peace and human rights. It marks the anniversary of the adoption of the Rome Statute, which established the International Criminal Court (ICC). This day reminds the world of the need to fight against impunity for crimes such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. It also spreads awareness about protecting victims’ rights and promoting the rule of law across nations. By celebrating this day, people and governments reaffirm their commitment to building a just, peaceful, and equal world. It is a call to strengthen international cooperation and ensure that justice is served without discrimination.
