Abstract
The Bush administration has repudiated President Clinton’s signature on the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. This repudiation comes when the “war on terrorism” is directed against the very crimes denounced in the Rome Statute. Critical criminology has been skeptical of criminal law regimes within nations on the ground that they legitimize pre-existing power relationships. The criminal law regime among nations in the Rome Statute is the only method to delegitimize military force by any permanent member of the U.N. Security Council as well as the only forum to try accused terrorists that can offer an appearance of fairness.
