| | Universal jurisdiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Universal jurisdiction must also be distinguished from the jurisdiction of an international tribunal, such as the International Criminal Court, established in 2002 (the US is not signatory to the treaty), the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (1994) and for the former Yugoslavia (1993), or the Nuremberg Trials (1945-49). | | | It provides for ICC jurisdiction over-state party or on the territory of a non-state party where that non-state party has entered into an agreement with the court providing for it to have such jurisdiction in a particular case (consent). | | | Other opponents argue that universal jurisdiction is a breach on each state's sovereignty: all states being equal in sovereignty, as affirmed by the United Nations Charter, no state has standing to try a crime, no matter how heinous, in another state's jurisdiction, if they have no sovereign interest in the matter. |
