The International Criminal Court (ICC) recently made several controversial decisions regarding investigations into alleged Israeli and U.S. war crimes.
• How does a case land in the ICC?
• What are the bases of jurisdiction?
• What is the relationship between the authorization to investigate Israel and the authorization to investigate the United States?
• What is the potential impact of the ICC’s ruling on jurisdiction over Israel, a non-member state, on the national security of the U.S. and Israel?
• What does the potential politicization of the ICC mean for the realm of international law (including law of armed conflict)?


Professor Geoffrey Corn of South Texas College of Law Houston joins host Erielle Davidson in an effort to answer these questions.
