The Bush administration even did the unprecedented act of “unsigning” the Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court in 6 may 2002. Although the US since then has dropped some of its national laws, the state is yet to take a stand for a resigning or ratifying of the statue. Although the opposition to the ICC is strong among American politicians, the US supports prosecutions of other countries citizens. This student paper explores American senators arguments against the ratification of the Rome Statue of the international criminal court to investigate whether the critique is valid and sustainable in the light of the statue itself.
