> FWIW, that's not how the ICC works, any more than your national legal system is "ten guys working together to beat you up if they don't like you."

The point was the ten guys are self-appointed and have no connection to any legitimate higher authority that you recognize. Which is a akin to the US' relation to the UCC, given it's not ratified the treaty.

My "national legal system" is a higher authority (than me), which I recognize as legitimate, and in any case have no power to resist.
