International Criminal Court
International criminal justice is majorly practiced international law that aims at prosecuting all parties involved in cases of human rights abuses and doers of war crimes that have attracted international community attention. International criminal court is part of an international criminal justice system with tribunals like the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. They work to make the suspect accountable for their actions individually. Once an individual violates international law, they are brought to the International Criminal Court to be prosecuted.
It differs from another country’s justice system, given such individuals could be having immunity in their countries; hence, they cannot be prosecuted. So those powerless victims of the crime get justice as the suspects get prosecuted in the international courts. It serves justice to the victims since the suspects might have been part or collaborated with governments of those countries, hence delaying the courts. It is supported by different countries and civil societies and can prevent crimes from happening as it does not give immunity to crime doers.
If the US enacted policies and practices of other countries, it might fail to work. Each country has its values, beliefs, traditions, and different democratic rights. Some policies may bring divisions across the population.
