ABSTRACT Public opinion studies concerning the International Criminal Court show that a majority of the U.S. public supports the ICC and U.S. participation with the Court. Yet, such studies provide no information to participants about the lack of protections that are otherwise provided to U.S. citizens by the U.S. Constitution. Given this, the purpose of this study was to assess if support for the ICC varies according to whether individuals are informed of its lack of constitutional protections. To investigate this, a study was conducted with several hundred individuals where the language used to describe the ICC was experimentally manipulated. Results indicate that participants assigned to a condition where the description of the ICC included language describing its lack of constitutional protections were less likely to support the establishment of the ICC and U.S. participation in the Court, while is more consistent with the U.S. government’s official position on the ICC.

美国公众对国际刑事法院的支持：宪法考虑重要吗？

摘要 关于国际刑事法院的民意研究表明，大多数美国公众支持国际刑事法院和美国参与法院。然而，此类研究并未向参与者提供有关缺乏美国宪法为美国公民提供的保护的信息。鉴于此，本研究的目的是评估对 ICC 的支持是否因个人是否被告知其缺乏宪法保护而有所不同。为了对此进行调查，对数百人进行了一项研究，其中用于描述 ICC 的语言被实验操纵。
