were to acquiesce to the icc jurisdiction >> the important thing to remember about the icc is it is a court of last resort. it won't prosecute a case if there has been a credible criminal prosecution. i think. if the u.s. was able to prosecutor kult those cases, the icc only will step in as a court of last resort >>> u.s. prosecution of american military, or the sanction dealing with the tragic bombing of the hospital in afghanistan, doctors without borders. there have been steps taken. back to you, you referenced an effort to deal with places like syria and other parts of the borld. what is the next step, do you think? >> i think the next step is to particularly with syria, i think we have to make another try in the security council at some point. i think it's very important that in the peace talks that continue with respect to syria, that the issue of accountability not be pushed aside, not be barterred away. over the last 25 years, we have essentially delegitimized the notion of impunity for the commission of atrocity crimes by government units. that doesn't mean that people will a

in the icc it is a broader mandate. the way that an individual individual comes to be prosecuted there is following a very thorough investigation by the icc itself. for the icc prosecutor to even begin to pursue that investigation, he has to get or she in this case, has to get clearance from the pretrial chambers or a set of international judges > >>> both tribunals are focused specifically on those conflicts. do you think that the tribunal is the more effective way to go after war crimes that are more and of such magnitude that they've come to the attention of the world or do you think that at some point these tribunals need to go away and everything needs to be done by the icc? >> the objective of creating the international criminal court was essentially to have one permanent international court that, indeed, would take on new situations of atrocities as they erupted on the world scene and provide an immediate mechanism for accountability for those crimes. that is the ideal world. unfortunately, we're not living in th

[inaudible] -- the icc having great promise seems to me even now. do you have any insight as to why the united states has taken such an entrenched position for the success of the icc? >> i mean, it seems to me as a professor at georgetown you probably know better than me. clinton cited in his last days in office to fulfill a promise, whether he meant it ever to go through, expected it to ever go through, that's hard to say. but as you know they went as far as to unsigned it. it is about i think the idea of exceptionalism. they are must never ever come a time when an american would face four and justice come even though the rome statute that set up the icc is full of safeguards, but if you have functioning, losses of any kind you will not face the justice from icc. but the moot in the bush administration, which are the world's most powerful country. and then the price of exceptionalism means you're not creating come you're not creating international norms. you're not creating a rule of law. you pay a long time price but you know well the prospects of

it is the first time the icc has focused on rape as a weapon of war.s paul brennan reports now from the hague. >> reporter: this is the businessman, senior politician and now a convicted war criminal. his trial had compelling evidence of how his private army known as the mlc waged a campaign of rape, murder and pillage against civilians in neighboring central african republic. >> groups of three or four soldiers invaded houses one-by-one. they stole all the possessions that could be carried off. and raped the women. girls and elders, regardless of their age. >> reporter: he never actually issued an order to rape and murder, and his defense team insisted that once his militia crossed the border into the car, they were under the command of that country's leadership. in 207 before his arrest, he was interviewed on al jazeera and brushed away questions about the icc. >> reporter: you will know that the international criminal court-- >> no. i'm not, of course, involved in any of these things. >> reporter: yes. they have you in their sights, don't they? >> n

has taken such an in transient position for the success of the icc? >> it seems to me as a professor at georgetown you probably know better than me. clinton signed it in his last days of office to sign a promise or whether he ever expected it to go through is hard to say. as you know bush administration one of the first things they did was not simply just squelch the ratification, they went as far as to on sign it. it is a bout the idea of exceptionalism. they must never ever come a time when an american would face for injustice, even though their own statute that set up the icc is full of safeguards that if you have a functioning law system of any kind you won't face justice of the icc. but the mood and bush administration's why should we take the risk we are the world's most powerful country. then the price of exceptionalism means you are not creating international norms. do not creating the rule of law. you pay a longtime price but you know well the prospects of ratification of their own statute or for any major international treaty is pretty grim

the mavi ship was flagged in the comeros and is a signatory to the rome statute of the icc, and in 2013, the island of the comeros did request that the prosecutor open an investigation into the attack on the mavi. and the freedom flotilla. a and the prosecutor did do so and the prosecutor of the international criminal courts came back with a -- a decision that there was evidence showing that war crimes was committed in that flotilla attack, but unfortunately, decided that the events did not meet the threshold, the gravity threshold, it wasn't grave enough to merit further icc involvement and she decided to close the case. now, the comeros islands appealed that decision to what's called the pretrial chamber and surprisingly we were surprised, but the pretrial chamber did issue a decision calling on the prosecutor to reconsider her decision saying that she overlooked some significant matters and called on her to re-open the matter which she and her office tried to appeal. they tried to appeal that decision and the appeals chamber last year came back and actually they did not accept her ap

they brought a case against the three nuclear powers which recognized the icc that's the u.k. india and pakistan on the argument that they breached a legal duty to disarm. similar logic is being used against six other nations the u.s. russia, and china. essentially what the marsha marshalese are asking what have they been currently doing and for decades, is that good faith implementation of their disarmment. in this country, the united kingdom there are plans for decades to come. there is really very little if any willingness of these states to participate in multi lateral disarmment negotiations? is that good faith? >> when they've done to lobby the u.s. congress about their illnesses they can't get anybody to listen to them. in this david against goliath case do the nuclear powers believe they really have a case to answer. in india, for one, it seems apparently not. >> if you're going to establish in what india and pakistan are doing, what india and pakistan is doing will hurt them. >> nowadays the marshall islands have other things to worry about, too. rising sea levels and
