Identify and describe the significance of the Rome Statute. Why is the United States so reluctant to sign the Rome Statute and become a member of the ICC? How does this reluctance reflect U.S. primacy?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should identify the Rome Statute as an international agreement approved in 1998 in which signatories identified a variety of crimes—genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and foreign aggression—that would fall under the jurisdiction of the proposed International Criminal Court. Answers may also address the types of crimes considered by the ICC: genocide, crimes against humanity, and unlawful acts of foreign aggression. Answers should describe U.S. reluctance to join the ICC, despite its calls to establish the court, based on claims that it would violate U.S. sovereignty. U.S. involvement abroad, even when under the UN, creates resentment and gives adversaries many opportunities to target the United States with charges of war crimes and foreign aggression.
