The planet celebrates July 17 every year World Day of International Justice. Such an event was launched on June 1, 2010, during a conference in Uganda.

World Day of International Justice in history

The date of the celebration was chosen in honor of the date of approval of the Rome Statute, which took place on this day in 1998 at a diplomatic conference in Rome. Today, about 150 countries of the world are members of the charter. Based on the Rome Statute, the International Criminal Court was created, which is located in the Netherlands and deals with punishment for serious crimes (torture, murder, rape, etc.).
