Summary:Outlines the main objections the U.S. has raised to the International Criminal Court (ICC) which was established by a treaty negotiated in Rome under UN auspices, to prosecute war crimes and other crimes against humanity. Analyzes the American Servicemembers' Protection Act, enacted to regulate the U.S. cooperation with the ICC unless U.S. military personnel are granted immunity from ICC jurisdiction. Discusses implications for the U.S., as a non-ratifying country, as the ICC comes into force, and reviews Administration strategy with regard to the ICC.
