War Victims Day is an unofficial day of celebration and empowerment of the victims of armed conflict. In recent years, particularly across the African continent, it has been observed on 30 May, or sometimes the closest Sunday to that date. The 2010 Review Conference of the International Criminal Court (ICC) appropriately started the day after War Victims Day. Celebrations of the day culminated in 2010 with a football game held in Mandela National Stadium (Uganda) between war victims, delegates attending the ICC Review Conference, H.E. President Museveni, and H.E. BAN ki-Moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations.
