Description
INTRODUCTION The Bush Administration has declared its opposition to the International Criminal Court (ICC) with a firestorm of international and domestic activity. Its campaign against the ICC began in earnest in May 2002 (1) after it repudiated the Clinton Administration's prior signing of the Rome Statute. (2) As noted by the current U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes issues, with this gesture the United States "essentially filed for divorce from the court." (3) After announcing its intent to leave the ICC, the Bush Administration sought, in the United Nations Security Council (4) and in capitals around the world, (5) to limit the court's jurisdiction, particularly over U.S. nationals. In late 2002, Congress enacted legislation threatening a variety of measures against countries that cooperate with the ICC.
