July 17, 2014 is celebrated as International Justice Day all over the world. This is the day that marks the entry of the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court (ICC). International Justice Day is also referred to as Day of International Criminal Justice or World Day for International Justice.
On 17 July 1998, the Rome Statute was adopted for ICC. The ICC can only investigate and prosecute in situations where states are unable or unwilling to do the justice themselves.
Each year, people around the world use International Justice Day to host events to promote international criminal justice. This day brings our attention towards particular issues like genocide and serious crimes of violence against women etc.
The above stamp was issued in 2013 by Mauritius Post.
