The United States and International Criminal Court: Legal Concerns or National Interests?
Document Type : Research Paper
Abstract
From the outset that the idea to establish an international criminal tribunal got international support, the United States pessimistically perceived it as a threat to its strategic interests. With start of negotiations and conferences on writing the statute of International Criminal Court (ICC), the concerns of the US officials over the domain of competence and function of this court intensified. In this framework, they have raised different political criticisms and legal points about the Rome Statute of the ICC. Today, most of the US questions and points are replied and cleared. The present article aims to assess the validity and relevance of the most important legal questions raised by the US officials and senators about the Rome Statute
