The Green Party of Michigan urges the federal government of the United States to cooperate with the International Criminal Court in any and all ongoing investigations trials or sentencing, involving US citizens or persons resident in the United States suspected of International Terrorism or War Crimes. We urge the Congress of the United States to ratify the treaty recognizing the International Criminal Court, and to pass a bill to authorize, require and provide financially for the swift extradition of citizens or residents prosecuted for terrorism or war crimes by the International Criminal Court.

Explanation of change from "World Court" to "International Criminal Court."

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is sometimes known as the "World Court." The principal judicial organ of the United Nations (UN) since 1946, its statute is a multilateral agreement annexed to the charter of the United Nations. Its job is to settle disputes between national governments.

According to Wikipedia:

The International Criminal Court (ICC) was established in 2002 as a permanent tribunal to prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression, although it cannot currently exercise jurisdiction over the crime of aggression. The court can only prosecute crimes committed on or after July 1, 2002, the date its founding treaty, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, entered into force.

As of June 2007, 104 states are members of the Court, and a further 41 countries have signed but not ratified the Rome Statute. However, a number of states, including China, India and the United States, are critical of the Court and have not joined.

The Court can generally only exercise jurisdiction in cases where the accused is a national of a state party, the alleged crime took place on the territory of a state party, or a situation is referred to the Court by the United Nations Security Council. The Court is designed to complement existing national judicial systems: it can only exercise its jurisdiction when national courts are unwilling or unable to investigate or prosecute such crimes. Primary responsibility to exercise jurisdiction over suspected criminals is therefore left to individual states.

The official seat of the ICC is in The Hague, Netherlands, but its proceedings may take place anywhere.[1] The Court is separate from, and should not be confused with, the International Court of Justice (often referred to as the “World Court”), which is the United Nations organ that settles disputes between nations.

[end excerpt from Wikipedia]

Clearly, it is the International Criminal Court, not the International Court of Justice, that would try individual war criminals and terrorists. There is no body formally named the "World Court." The confusion between two courts, both associated with the United Nations and both with offices in the Hague is natural. However, we are not required to stay confused just because we started out confused, and we should not embed confusion in our platform.
