Abstract

The
United States’ Special Agreements to the Rome Statute
provisions raise serious concerns regarding the ef?cacy of the
object and purpose of the treaty and the effect on the State
Parties’ obligations to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
This analysis shows how these agreements have undermined the
principles of the Statute, why they are unnecessary in protecting
non-party states from the treaty provisions’ effect and the United
States’ willingness to ratify the Rome Statute.
