What is the International Criminal Court? Has it been a success or a failure and why?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should first be able to define the International Criminal Court as a tribunal established by the Rome Statute in 2002 to address crimes on an international basis. Students should then decide whether the International Criminal Court has been a success or a failure. If they say it has been a success, they may cite that 120 countries have signed onto the Rome Statute, thereby legitimizing the Court, and that they have considered 13 cases from 7 countries. If they say it has been a failure, they may cite that the United States has not ratified the Rome Statute or that the Court has limited enforcement capabilities.
