Isn't the entire point of the Rome Statute that the country accepts the court's jurisdiction involving international crimes and crimes against humanity as higher than that of any national court? I'm not an expert, but I imagine this defeats the point of signing the statute in the first place.
Yes, that's why many countries, like the US, haven't ratified the Rome Statute. They refuse to accept anything they don't control as having jurisdiction over their country or citizens.
Indeed, it does.
"Yeah man, we're totally down to bring justice to those monsters accused of doing war crimes! Woah wait, I mean, except when we do a war crime, that's alright, we have good reasons."
Ah, they grow up so fast! Just like big brother USA! 🥲🇺🇲🦅
