#4 Territorial jurisdiction

During the negotiations that led to the Rome Statute, a large number of states argued that the Court should be allowed to exercise universal jurisdiction. However, this proposal was defeated due in large part to opposition from the United States.[37] A compromise was reached, allowing the Court to exercise jurisdiction only under the following limited circumstances:

* where the person accused of committing a crime is a national of a state party (or where the person's state has accepted the jurisdiction of the Court);
* where the alleged crime was committed on the territory of a state party (or where the state on whose territory the crime was committed has accepted the jurisdiction of the Court); or
* where a situation is referred to the Court by the UN Security Council.

#5 The UN Security Council referred the situation in Darfur to the Prosecutor of the ICC in Resolution 1593 (2005)on 31 March 2005. The resolution requires Sudan and all other parties to the conflict in Darfur to cooperate with the Court. It also invites the Court and the African Union to discuss practical arrangements that will facilitate the work of the Prosecutor and of the Court, including the possibility of conducting proceedings in the region.
