Abstract

The article discusses the importance of the International Criminal Court (ICC), a recently established intergovernmental organization to address the most heinous crimes. This organization is first evaluated with respect to its impact on the notion of national sovereignty, upon which the international system has long been based. Then the contribution of global civil society in the creation of the ICC is outlined in order to demonstrate that the global order is gradually departing from being state-centric. & finally, the US opposition to the ICC is briefly examined as that opposition is extremely relevant to the subject, given that the US is regarded as the sole superpower, which is supposed to have a determinative role in the conduct of global politics. Adapted from the source document.
