	International Criminal Court - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rome Statute became a binding treaty at the moment 60 states had ratified it, an event ceremonialized at the United Nations Headquarters on April 11, 2002.
		In addition to the interference with national sovereignty, the U.S. duly feels that the Rome Statute circumvents the provisions in the UN charter for criminal courts and tribunals and, in doing so, robs the UN of some influence in a matter the UN was created to oversee.
		Israel initially objected to the Rome Statute because of the clause defining "the war crime of the transfer of parts of the civilian population of an occupying power into occupied territory", which it feared implied that settlement activity in the occupied territories is a "war crime" and "grave offense".

		The attainment of the Rome Statute, with the power to investigate and prosecute those who commit genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, indeed represents a significant achievement for the world community.
		At the current stage of having 99 ratifications of the Rome Statute, and having the ICC at the "ready to exercise its jurisdiction" level, the key measures to apply law and protect human rights around the world are within reach.
