the united states has never bowed to international authority. ever.
They think they the authority.
I've heard before that a key hallmark of liberalism throughout history is exceptions to its own tenants while continuing to claim the moral high ground.

Yes this is how sovereignty is maintained. This duality is why other members of the international community can refuse to follow ICC declarations one year and support the other years.
The United States doesn't release that control willingly. Others would have to make them if they feel it's that important.
Until someone can take that authority, they retain it.
Don't they have plans to break out any US soldier about to stand trial in the ICC/Hauge?
Yes, part of George Bush Jr's administration put that in place
Lol, you got down-voted for mentioning a real US law that's been in existence for over 20 years. Someone doesn't like reality.
I didn't even notice any downvotes....
Hmm I'm using a mobile app and it showed a combined score <1 when I commented, which only happens from down-votes. Now I'm seeing +2 on the app and in a browser, so maybe what I was seeing before wasn't accurate?
