Reaffirming that the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute and does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.

Bill 119 HRES 9, also known as the Reaffirmation of US Non-Participation in the International Criminal Court, is a resolution introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to reaffirm that the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute, which established the International Criminal Court (ICC), and does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC over US citizens.

The bill emphasizes the importance of protecting US sovereignty and ensuring that US citizens are not subject to the jurisdiction of an international court without their consent. It also highlights concerns about the potential for politically motivated prosecutions and the lack of accountability and transparency within the ICC.

The resolution calls on the US government to continue to actively oppose any efforts to subject US citizens to the jurisdiction of the ICC and to take all necessary measures to protect US sovereignty and national security interests. It also urges other countries to respect the US position on the ICC and to refrain from cooperating with the court in cases involving US citizens. Overall, Bill 119 HRES 9 reaffirms the US government's longstanding position of non-participation in the ICC and underscores the importance of protecting US sovereignty and the rights of US citizens.
