International Criminal Court

International Criminal Court (ICC) — This treaty sets up an international court with the power to try individuals, in contrast to the long-existing World Court which can adjudicate disputes only among nations. The ICC is designed to become THE supreme court of the world, which reduces the U.S. Supreme Court to an inferior court. U.S. residents have already been arrested while living in Texas and extradited to face this court.

Some Congressmen and other critics are concerned that the ICC puts all U.S. servicemembers stationed overseas at risk of prosecution on trivial or malicious charges. They clearly don't understand that it is not just military abroad, but all U.S. citizens who fall under the domain of this court, indeed all people on the planet, whether their nation has joined, or even ratified the treaties dealing with the ICC. Judges will come from all nations, in time, and rule without regard to the laws of the residence of the accused, but according to "International Law." Americans tried by the ICC will not have the protections of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights guarantees of due process.

The U.S. Supreme Court decision clears the way for U.S. officials to hand Ntakirutimana over to the ICTR’s detention facilities in Arusha, Tanzania. Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, a Rwandan charged with genocide in connection with the killings of thousands of members of the Tutsi ethnic minority in the spring of 1994.
