World Day for International Justice, also referred to as Day of
International Criminal Justice or International Justice Day is
celebrated throughout the world on July 17 as part of an effort to
recognize the emerging system of international criminal justice.
July 17 was chosen because it is the anniversary of the adoption of
the Rome Statute, the treaty that created the International Criminal
Court. On 1 June 2010, at the Review Conference of the Rome Statute
held in Kampala (Uganda), the Assembly of State Parties decided to
celebrate 17 July as the Day of International Criminal Justice.
Each year, people around the world use this day to host events to
promote international criminal justice, especially support for the
International Criminal Court.
