What is the Rome Statute?





by C. Henry Adams


Recently, I read the U. S. Secretary of State statement release Sept. 4th , 2025 regarding NGOs and felt some kind of way.  Some people might say that I was mentally ill.  But, perhaps I was not mentally ill, just ignorant to the laws and ways of the country I live in, as well as, serve.

First, allow me to clarify some acronyms to gain a better understanding of what was read.

NGO -  non governmental organization

Rome Statute -   the founding treaty of the International Criminal Court (ICC), establishing the framework for its jurisdiction over the most serious crimes of international concern: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. 

It sets out the Court's structure, powers, and the rules for prosecuting individuals for these crimes when a State is unwilling or unable to do so.
 

AI - artificial intelligence

125 countries or states around the World supports the Rome Statute.

It is important to understand what one person reads.  Today, Sept. 5th 2025, I am glad I live in the United States of America and have the freedom of speech right now.  Sept. 5th 2025 at 4:41 pm EST
