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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_oYI_sMl6U 1st pic- The President of the Court Silvia, Judge Alejandra Fernandez De Gurmendi (Argentina) 2nd pic- First Vice president of the Court, Judge Joyce Aluoch (Kenya) 3rd pic- Second Vice president, Judge Kuniko Ozaki (Japan) 4th pic- The Chief Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda (Gambia)
