“The Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute (which created the International Criminal Court) held a review conference in Kampala, Uganda, in early June 2010, including a week of negotiations resulting in the adoption of a definition of the crime of aggression. Should the U.S. re-sign the Statute? Accede to the Statute? Continue its current status as a non-party, but increase its cooperation with the ICC? On the other hand, does the action taken (or not taken) at Kampala provide additional support for those who oppose accession and cooperation? 
Mr. Richard Dicker, Director of the International Justice Division of Human Rights Watch; Hon. Brian Hook, Partner at Latitude, LLC and former Assistant U.S. Secretary of State for International Organizations; Prof. Jeremy A. Rabkin of George Mason University School of Law; and Prof. Michael P. Scharf of Case Western Reserve University School of Law discussed these issues at the National Press Club on July 12. Hon. Edwin D. Williamson, Senior Counsel at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and former Legal Adviser of the U.S. Department of State, moderated.”
