The European Union marks the 11th EU Day Against Impunity on 23 May, focused on genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The EU said the day comes at a time when armed conflict is increasing worldwide, including in regions close to the European Union. It also notes growing threats to the international criminal justice system. EU Day Against Impunity is intended to reinforce the commitment needed to tackle impunity for the gravest international crimes. The message is supported by a spotlight on the important work of national authorities, reflecting that prosecutions and efforts to pursue accountability often depend on work carried out at country level. The EU framed the day as a reminder that addressing the most serious international offences requires sustained action, especially as international justice faces pressure and instability. This year’s EU Day Against Impunity is marked through the European Union’s focus on preventing impunity and maintaining momentum for international criminal justice.
