The United States' Views Toward the International Criminal Court

Abstract

This paper analyzes the United States' views toward the International Criminal Court. The Court will be a permanent judicial institution to investigate, charge, and prosecute individuals who commit the most egregious crimes; war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. The history of the Court's genesis, its principles, procedures, and structure will be reviewed, and the United States' reservations about the Court will be analyzed. This paper will demonstrate that, while not perfect, the Court has a solid foundation to execute its mandate and warrants strong support from the United States.
