We believe in justice without borders!


© AIUSA Justice Without Borders

This week, we celebrate the ten year anniversary of the treaty establishing the International Criminal Court (ICC). The treaty is groundbreaking because it established for the first time in history a permanent court to investigate individuals accused of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community. Today, 107 countries around the world have joined the Court.

On Monday, the ICC Prosecutor requested a warrant for Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmad al Bashir, alleging that Bashir bears criminal responsibility for 10 counts of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Darfur.

In recognition of International Justice Day this year, we invite you to watch AIUSA's film Justice Without Borders and find or organize an International Justice Day event in your community.

"Myself, my son Mohammed and my wife Asma thank all Amnesty International members for supporting me and for supporting human rights. We will work hard with them together until we achieve peace for all people in the world. I will never forget their help and I will pray for them. I ask them to keep praying for me also. I will be glad if they continue their relationship with me, are in touch with me in my life and help me with my new job."
