The U.S. signed the Rome Statute in 2000 but never ratified it and officially withdrew its signature in 2002

Withdrawal: President George W. Bush withdrew the U.S. signature from the treaty in 2002.

The U.S. is not part of the International Criminal Court (ICC) because it fears politically motivated prosecutions of its military and officials, a concern that stems from its opposition to the court's jurisdiction over non-member states, including its own citizens. The U.S. also sought to retain control over its judicial power, was concerned about the prosecutor's authority, and believes it can handle its own military justice cases, particularly after its signature on the Rome Statute was withdrawn in 2002.

Leave it to a Republican to cover the asses of future crimes from his own party.
