Jurisdiction of the ICCJurisdiction of the ICC covers genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. There has been some talk of including of terrorism but this is not likely in the near term. Jurisdiction is further limited to nationals of members of the court, crimes taking place on member nations' territory or by referal of the United Nations of a case. Over 100 countries are members of the ICC but not the United States, Russia, China, Israel, or India. 2
