Since nations agreed on a statute establishing an International Criminal Court ten years ago, one U.S. president has signed it and another has disavowed it. Today, the transition under way in the United States Government, combined with the charges leveled by the Prosecutor of the court in the Darfur case, suggest a reappraisal of Washington’s relationship with the new tribunal is now timely. The Century Foundation organized a breakfast roundtable, Reassessing the International Criminal Court: Ten Years Past Rome, to explore possible changes in U.S. policy on Tuesday, January 13, 2009.
The discussion was led by:
- John Hutson Dean of Franklin Pierce Law Center (New Hampshire); former Judge Advocate-General and Admiral (ret.), U.S. Navy
- Zeid Ra’ad Zeid al-Hussein Ambassador of Jordan to the United States; former president of the Assembly of States-Parties to the ICC
- David Scheffer Professor and director, Center for International Human Rights, Northwestern University (Illinois); former ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues
- Clint Williamson Ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues, Department of State
- Morton H. Halperin, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, moderated.
This event was in conjunction with the publication of The Century Foundation report authored by Scheffer and Hutson considering A Strategy for U.S. Engagement with the International Criminal Court.
