Abstract :
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has been criticised for its international acceptance and fairness as an international permanent court toward current US, China and Russia positions. In fact, they have not ratified it due to their own national considerations expelling possible prosecution of their nationals. On the other hand, they exercised their privileges as permanent members of the United Nations Security Council pursuant to Articles 13 and 16 of the Rome Statute referring foreign nationals before the ICC for prosecution of the most serious crimes as experienced in Sudan lately. This essay aims to discuss and to highlights the US, China and Russian’s reasons for not ratifying the Rome Statute and their impacts to the universal and the fairness of the ICC.
