World Day for International Justice, also referred to as Day of International Criminal Justice or International Justice Day, is an international day celebrated throughout the world on July 17 as part of an effort to recognize the emerging system of international criminal justice. July 17 is the date of the adoption of the treaty that created the International Criminal Court. On 1 June 2010, at the Review Conference of the Rome Statute held in Kampala (Uganda), the Assembly of State Parties decided to celebrate 17 July as the Day of International Criminal Justice.
In the bedroom of the poet (novella excerpt) #fiction by Abigail George
If you are a poet, then you are family, then you are my family. You will forever be alive to me in the years to come, part of my history in life, and death.

every deed done for sake of the
goodness of life. Keeping the Possible open.”
