From the Outside In. Shaping the International Criminal Court

Abstract

The present study will recommend policy alternatives to military and domestic planning organizations to shape the International Criminal Court (ICC) so that it (1) may prosecute figures who have committed egregious international crimes while (2) not overstepping its purpose and authority by improperly intervening in national sovereignty or policy. Specifically, the study will assess current U.S. policy regarding the ICC, discuss the circumstances under which that policy will be ineffectual, present policy alternatives, and test the relative effectiveness of other, perhaps more robust, policies against the current U.S. policy. The empirical testing will focus on the extent to which risk to U.S. nationals can be reduced by attempting to influence the process by which judges are elected to the court. More broadly, the study will be an example of applying quantitative analysis to new and evolving areas of national security concern.
