Global coalition of lawyers launches campaign to defend the International Criminal Court

A worldwide coalition of legal professionals has kicked off a campaign to bolster the International Criminal Court (ICC) amid growing threats from the US to dismantle it. The initiative follows the Second International Legal Conference in Istanbul, where global leaders emphasized the ICC's role in upholding international justice. This move is significant as it underscores the international community's commitment to accountability for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, countering the US stance that has called for the court's dissolution. The campaign highlights a broader push to protect international legal frameworks amidst geopolitical tensions.
