ICC Cannot Investigate George Bush by Nobody: 8:47am On Jul 10, 2015
The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, stated that only nationals of ICC member states could be investigated and prosecuted for crimes covered under the Rome Statute. The United States has "signed" the treaty, but have not yet ratified it; hence the country isn't qualified as a member state.

The Rome Statute of 1998 established the ICC and its subject-matter jurisdiction: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. The treaty further states that such crimes "shall not be subject to any statute of limitations"

The Chief Prosecutor also said that an investigation has been opened concerning the conduct of British soldiers during the US-led war in Iraq (circa 2003), since Britain is an ICC member states.

The same ICC will prosecute third world countries irrespective of their being members or not.
