Question
Israel's Criminal System?
Answer
The General Assembly called the "United Nations Diplomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Establishment of an International Criminal Court" in Italy, where the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court was adopted on July 17, 1998. Almost all states participating in the conference voted in favor of the statute; the United States joined Israel, People's Republic of China, Iraq, Qatar, Libya, and Yemen in voting against it. Israel reversed its decision and signed the statute just before the conference closed, but later reversed again and nullified its signature. Initially, under Bill Clinton, the U.S. signed the treaty but never submitted it for ratification. When George W. Bush took office in 2001, he nullified the signature amid bipartisan consensus on the matter.
