The early stages of negotiations towards the establishment of a permanent International Criminal Court (ICC or "the Court") were characterized by the struggle between diverse legal systems for representation and accommodation in the Statute of the Court.It was in this context that questions first surfaced, albeit tentatively, as to the potential incompatibility of various draft statutory provisions with national constitutions.During the final Rome Diplomatic Conference, a number of states sought a statute that would specifically accommodate their own particular domestic constitutions.The impossibility of creating a statute that could do this expressly, while garnering the support of the majority of states, soon became apparent.The vying of delegations subsided in recognition of the sui generis nature of the international justice system being created-a system that carries the imprimatur of many legal systems and closely resembles none.Settling for assurances short of the express exclusion of potential constitutional issues, the overwhelming majority of states participating in the Rome Conference voted in favor of the Treaty establishing the International Criminal Court ("the Statute" or "Rome Statute") on July 17, 1998.
