The United States has refused to join the International Criminal  Court (ICC) since its inception.

This week’s assignment requires you to take a position on  whether or not the United States should formally join, and accept the  jurisdiction of, the International Criminal Court. Avoid notions of  jingoism, and examine the international community and the  responsibilities of the United States as an international actor in both  civilian and military affairs. Make sure to explain the consequences of  not joining or a decision to join the ICC.

    • Examine not just the United States’ reasons for not joining the ICC,  but also various international perspectives about the leading military  power in the world’s decision not to join this criminal law court.
  • Explain the ramifications of the opinion that you advance to the United States and the international community.
