Advancing a Rome Statute system of international justice that works for all.





The International Day of Criminal Justice is a reminder for all states committed to fair and impartial justice for victims of the worst crimes around the world o urgently ensure continued support for the international justice system.

Pace, convenor of the Coalition for the International Criminal Court.
