Resolved: The United States ought to submit to the jurisdiction of an international court designed t

I am going straight ref NC after extending my opponents arguments on the AC. First an overview - Based off the ICC all the impacts of the ICC would happen in the Neg world because the jurisdiction of the ICC extends into non signitory nations meaning that all my opponents arguments are nonunique because all his impacts will happen in both worlds. In terms of military intervention, even if we dont sign the ICC into legitimacy, it still has the power to try a US soldier IF the act was commited in a signitory nation or against a signitory citizen or against someone envoking article 12. This means that all my opponents impacts about decreasing the United States Hage take place IN BOTH WORLDS. Moreover the ICC is never going to prosecute the US. Jack Goldsmith "There are many other bases for prosecution of U.S. officials. Nonetheless, the ICC's procedural safeguards, when combined with the threat of U.S. retaliation, make it unlikely that a U.S. official will actually end up in the ICC dock." This means that my opponents impacts are further mitigated since the US will never appear on the Dock of the ICC At this point the AFF gains all of the negative impacts and meets them the EXACT SAME as the Negative. This means that all that i need to do at this point is prove there will be a CHANCE that i can increase hege. Moreover the Negative never provides why his advocacy is competitive with the AC in the sense that we can do both intervention and the ICC. Never provides competitiveness so he can not win since there is no offense on the AC which means risk of offense would win me the round. Insofar as the International community views us badly and joining the ICC would make them feel a tiny bit better you affirm. Moreover the Negative has the burden to prove we ought not join since the goal of the institution is a moral ends and not joining means we are not trying for a moral end or at least have another objective. Thus if the NC provides no offence you affirm. Finally, the US increases hege. 1. Not joining the ICC means the US holds a double standard and is further seen as illegit. We prosecute foreigners and send them to Guantanamo but don't allow foreign prosecution of ourselves. The ICC is the solution. 2. ICC Increases Hedge because the US is seen as a legitimate actor. When the US joins the institution joined by almost all international actors and is seen to uphold international standards, hedge power increases. 3. Not only does not submitting to the ICC fail to prevent the prosecution of soldiers but it also hurts national security interests. Dr. Bahman Naraghi furthers No only does it fail to do what it purportedly intend to do, that is to protect American service personnel from being prosecuted at the ICC, it also inhibits and impedes national security interests and foreign policy. "The American Sevicemembers Protection act can do nothing to cure some of the fundamental defects in the Rome Treaty. However what the ASPA does do is interfere with the US's ability to assist in the identification, apprehension, detention and trial of persons accused of committing violations of international and human rights laws. Thus you can never negate Finally to preempt negative argumentation these arguments are not abusive for bieng new because the negative has the second speech meaning the negative can refute all my points - there is no reason why i am bieng unfair. Moreover you can not decide the round on who was bieng fair or not because Debate is about which argument is more correct in terms of substance, an argument like fairness does not mean that a certain argument is true or untrue. For example if i won barney was better than elmo, you would not vote for me on the issue of the ICC. Finally there are no rules about new arguments in any kind of debate handbook. the only binding rules i read are the terms of use at the begging of me signing the agreement to join. This means that there is no reason not to accept these arguments Ive provided.
