Every year on July 17, the world celebrates International Day of Justice. On International Criminal Justice Day, people who fight for the fundamental rights of those harmed by criminal crimes are recognised. After the Rome Statute was approved, the International Criminal Court (ICC) was formally created on this date.
The importance of prosecuting criminals and giving justice to those who have been tortured by others is demonstrated by International Justice Day. International Justice Day is also observed to witness the activity of nations that pledge to uphold the rule of law worldwide.
