🧵 Why is it important to defend international justice this #InternationalJusticeDay?

Because international justice protects us all, and you never know when you might need it 👇

We must call on our governments to ensure access to justice for all victims in our own countries too: https://hrij.amnesty.nl/joint-statement-on-french-investigation-syria-chemical-attacks/
