Former Office of Legal Counsel lawyer John Yoo’s criminal liability for the U.S. Torture Program has been a topic of debate ever since the so-called ‘Torture Memos’ came to light. The debate has primarily focused on the criminal case against Yoo under domestic U.S. law or under abstract notions of ‘international law’. In light of the International Criminal Court’s investigation into the situation in Afghanistan there is reason to hope for a possible indictment of Yoo. This article fills in a gap in the literature surrounding Yoo’s culpability by straightforwardly delineating the prima facie case against John Yoo under the Rome Statute.

这个世界上没有家：国际刑事法院对John Yoo的起诉

自从所谓的“酷刑备忘录”问世以来，前法律顾问办公室律师约翰·尤（John Yoo）对美国酷刑计划承担的刑事责任一直是辩论的话题。辩论主要集中在根据美国国内法或抽象概念“国际法”对Yoo提起的刑事诉讼中。鉴于国际刑事法院对阿富汗局势的调查，有理由希望对Yoo提起公诉。本文通过直接描述《罗马规约》中针对约翰·约奥的表面证据案，填补了围绕约尔的罪魁祸首的文献空白。
