Abstract
The paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its potential benefit to the United States, as well as to the remainder of the international community. The paper criticizes the Bush administration's opposition to the treaty, as it explains the faults of arguments raised by the ICC's opponents.
From the Paper
"The prosecution of the most ruthless war criminals, it is widely agreed, is a worthy goal that all nations should pursue. A universal court, it seems, is based on the assumption that the prosecution of such abhorrent war criminals supercedes the value of national sovereignty, as all nations should be able to agree on crimes that are incompatible with the values of any civilization, nation-state, or any other tribal association. But during the years of the Cold War and the de-colonization processes reaching such a universally binding goal was not possible; with the end of the Cold War, the movement towards the creation of an international court began (Carter & Jackson 2002). While the crimes that the court should address are generally agreed on, other issues such as its effect on states? citizens throughout the globe turned out to be an obstacle that induced the United States, as well as a handful of other states, to oppose the jurisdiction of the court. While the US has legitimate concerns vis-?-vis the ICC, it is an imperative that American policymakers support the vision of a universal court and eventually act to ratify the American support."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the International Criminal Court (ICC) stands, complementary to national criminal jurisdictions, to prosecute heinous criminals of international concern, the United States would lose much of its sovereignty if it signed onto the ICC. The author points out that not only would American soldiers and politicians be breached of their sovereignty when they travel abroad, but also the court is flawed and has many weaknesses, which need to be worked out. The paper stresses that this rejection of membership in the ICC does not imply that the U.S. does not care about persons affected by war crimes or that it opposes prosecuting war criminals; the U.S. is well known to have led efforts in taking legal action among such individuals such as Slobodan Milosevic. Annotated bibliography.
From the Paper
"The hopes of the ICC are to "render accountable the perpetrators of the worst atrocities, and to deter future abuses." Imagine an operational body that might have brought to justice such historical tyrants as Hitler, Stalin, or even Chairman Mao for their known acts of violence. As it stands now, the ICC is committed to holding individuals accountable and is currently investigating war criminals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and Sudan. The essential issue here is best described by Jamie Mayerfeld, "how can the world institute the global enforcement of fundamental human rights in a manner that is fair and accurate and that does not inflame international tensions" (94)? The Rome Statue draws out an excellent definition of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity but the lack of a global agreement on human rights blocks the ICC from becoming universally acceptable."

Abstract
This paper explains that an interesting but not surprising theme of this debate is that most advocates of an international criminal court tend to be from smaller and less powerful countries. The author points out that most opponents of an international criminal court tend to be from powerful, wealthy, industrialized countries. The paper relates that some of the main argument in favor of an international criminal court are its empower of weaker countries and their citizens and the reduce global tensions.
From the Paper
"In analyzing whether the world needs an international criminal court, it is evident that a number of arguments have been made both for and against such a court. The first main pro argument in favor of an international criminal court is that it would empower weaker countries and their citizens by providing them with the means through the ICC to redress grievances against powerful countries or their citizens. The second main pro argument is that the establishment of an ICC would reduce global tensions through the empowerment it provided weaker states and their citizens."

Abstract
The paper discusses how despite the admirable goals of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Bush Administration opposed its establishment and is resisting its authority. The paper explains the Bush Administration's claim that the ICC would be misused by smaller countries and render American military personnel and government officials vulnerable to war crimes charges. The paper concludes that as long as the United States actively opposes the ICC, it will find it difficult to establish itself as an effective international judicial body.
From the Paper
"McPherson (1992) notes that the goals of such a court reflect the broad international consensus that judicial proceedings involving international disputes should be administered by a court that has truly global jurisdiction and is not hindered or restricted by international politics. Through such a court, the laws of sovereign states could no longer be ignored by any nation or citizen of any nation, and disputes between citizens or companies from different nations could be settled by an impartial court with worldwide jurisdiction."

From the Paper
"On September 11, 2001, four teams of hijackers commandeered four separate planes. Following carefully laid plans made months and even years before, they removed the pilots from the cockpits, and took over flying the planes themselves. The first plane, American Airlines flight #11, crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City at 8:40 AM Eastern time; the second plan, United flight #175, crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center at 9:05 AM; the third plane, American Airlines #73, crashed into the Pentagon outside of Washington, D.C. at 9:43 AM; but the fourth one crashed in rural Pennsylvania after the passengers, realizing that the United States was under attack, attempted to gain control of the plane. At 10:00 AM, that plane crashed. No one knows exactly what happened on the fourth plane, but it is known that the civilians on that plane thwarted a fourth attack, probably on a target in Washington, D.C."

From the Paper
" After World War I, many of the nations of the world tried to address one of the issues that had interested idealists for some time--the creation of some means for international adjudication as a way of authoritatively and peacefully settling international disputes. One of the institutions that emerged from this war was the League of Nations, a forerunner of the United Nations but with little authority or power and destined to fail as an arbiter of international matters. There were various precedents for international arbitration even at that time, though, and among the other institutions that emerged, based on such precedents, was history's first permanent international law court, the Permanent Court of International Justice, as part of the League of Nations. This court would collapse along with the League of Nations in 1945, but a more or less identical tribunal, the.."

Abstract
The following paper outlines the financial difficulties commonly experienced by international students in the United States, focusing on educational restrictions. It also discusses potential solutions to these financial problems and finally it concludes with recommendations for eliminating and/or reducing the financial difficulties commonly experienced by international students in the United States.
From the Paper
"There are a variety of potential solutions to financial problems of international students in the United States. First, before deciding to study in the United States and before actually arriving in the United States, international students and their families need to realistically evaluate their ability to finance their education abroad. Next, the Immigration and Naturalization Service should either diminish or totally eliminate the policy that limits international students to taking 12 credits per semester. Likewise, the Immigration and Naturalization Service should allow international students to work outside campus and should eliminate and/or revise current limitations on the number of hours international students may work per week. Doing so will give international students adequate time to study and legally earn money without resorting to jobs where they are generally paid in cash."

Abstract
The paper looks at Walter LaFeber's "Michael Jordan and the New Global Capitalism" where LaFeber emphasizes the 'branding of capitalism' concept.

The paper utilizes these works to analyze the strength and influence of the United States in the international community.
From the Paper
"Global capitalism has become the dominant force for international relations and economy. Many attribute the innovation of advanced communications and automated systems technology as a driving catalyst in bringing the world 'closer together' (Engardio, 2000, para. 1). However, the United States still remains the most dominant international figurehead in the global arena. Whether the issue is free market trades and tariff issues or military action, the United States has placed itself in a position of precedence that is unrivaled by any other country."

From the Paper
"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."
