- Hold religious celebrations to celebrate the important
work of the Court. Presbyterian members of the Faith and Ethics Network for the ICC developed a congregational
observance to be used at services on the second weekend in March,
when the first 18 judges of the ICC were sworn
in. It can be modified by use by other faiths and used throughout
the year.
- Organize ICC events on days of remembrance and celebration:
- January 27, Holocaust Remembrance Day (UN)
- March 8, International Women's Day. Publicize
the contribution the ICC has made to progressively defining
and punishing sexual and gender-based violence. For
materials on this topic, visit the website of the Women's
Caucus for Gender Justice or download their factsheets:
- April 6, Anniversary of start of Rwandan genocide
