American NGO Coalition for the International Criminal Court (AMICC)

The American NGO Coalition for the International Criminal Court (AMICC), a program of the Columbia University Institute for the Study of Human Rights, is a coalition of non-governmental organizations committed to achieving full United States support for the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the earliest possible US ratification of the Court's Rome Statute. AMICC members believe that strong participation by the US in the ICC is essential to the future of the Court as an effective institution. They take pride in the historic role of the US in promoting the development of international criminal law. They emphasize that the ICC expresses and implements values traditionally championed by the United States, including international justice and the rule of law.
