26 June = International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. Mutilation, cruel treatment and torture are war crimes and crimes against humanity under the Rome Statute, the ICC’s founding treaty. The ICC prosecutes and aims to help deter these crimes ➡️
Thursday is the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. Despite being banned under international law, torture persists worldwide. The UN has long condemned it as one of the vilest acts perpetrated by human beings on their fellow human beings.
