The International Criminal Court ("ICC" or "the Court") today marks 17 July, the Day of International Criminal Justice.
Twenty years ago today, the Rome Statute came into force. It was a tremendous achievement. It is a recognition that the rule of law was there to provide protection, particularly to the most vulnerable and to ensure accountability for individuals that independent Judges found guilty for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes or the crime of aggression. It has indeed been a tremendous achievement but this is also a moment to pause, to reflect and to try to refresh the process of international justice. The ICC simply must make an impact in the real lives of people. We need to work closer with affected communities that have lost so much, and to try to speed up and improve the quality and delivery of justice. This requires all of us to work together. We must all try to do better and to rededicate ourselves to these principles of justice which are owned by all humanity. If we work in a collective manner, international justice can, I’m sure, advance. And in twenty years to come, we can see the world better than it is for so many of our fellow brothers and sisters today. About the ICC’s 20th anniversary
EVERYONE CAN WORK TO BUILD A MORE JUST WORLD.
