World Day of International Justice

World Day of International Justice is observed annually on 17 July.

The observance promotes international justice, accountability, human rights, and the fight against impunity for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of aggression.

Established by the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the observance was first marked in 2010. The date commemorates the adoption of the Rome Statute on 17 July 1998, which established the International Criminal Court.

The day encourages international cooperation, strengthens respect for international law, supports victims of serious crimes, and reinforces the global commitment to justice and the rule of law.
