Findings and purpose

(a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute establishing the International Criminal Court (ICC). (2) The Constitution provides the Federal Government with exclusive authority over foreign relations and the treatment of foreign nationals within the territory of the United States. (3) The arrest or detention of foreign nationals on United States soil pursuant to an ICC request or indictment, absent Federal authorization, could jeopardize the foreign policy interests of the United States and conflict with longstanding constitutional principles. (4) Law enforcement activities implicating international law enforcement obligations must be governed by uniform national standards. (b) Purpose The purpose of this Act is to preempt State and local law enforcement from executing, honoring, or enforcing any request, warrant, or indictment issued by the International Criminal Court unless expressly authorized by Federal law.
