The International Criminal Court: Human Rights Beacon or Threat to Sovereignty?
Chris Kendall, professor of politics and government at the University of Puget Sound.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) launched in 2003 to great fanfare, its supporters claiming it as the necessary culmination of the post–WWII push to punish and prevent the worst human rights abuses. Instead, it quickly became a lightning rod for critics around the world, including the United States government. Professor Kendall will describe the origins and evolution of the ICC, the United States's complicated history with the institution, and the court's recent forays into highly politicized claims of human rights violations around the globe.
