TORRES MARENCO, Verónica. UNITED STATES' SPECIAL AGREEMENTS: CONSISTENCY WITH THE OBJECT AND PURPOSE OF THE ROME STATUTE. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2008, n.29, pp.211-236. ISSN 0121-8697.

The United States' Special Agreements to the Rome Statute provisions raise serious concerns regarding the efficacy of the object and purpose of the treaty and the effect on the State Parties' obligations to the International Criminal Court (ICC). This analysis shows how these agreements have undermined the principles of the Statute, why they are unnecessary in protecting non-party states from the treaty provisions' effect and the United States' willingness to ratify the Rome Statute.

Keywords : Special greements; Rome Statute; state party; principles.
