1. On which date is the World Day for International Justice observed annually?
The World Day for International Justice is observed annually on July 17. This date was chosen to commemorate the adoption of the Rome Statute on July 17, 1998, which established the International Criminal Court (ICC). This day is dedicated to promoting international criminal justice and combating impunity for serious international crimes. The ICC plays a crucial role in prosecuting crimes such as genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes of aggression, particularly when national courts are unable or unwilling to do so.
