Methodology and Technical Details
This is the fifth wave of research for an ongoing Ipsos survey:
 Current fieldwork period: April 22-25,2016
 The previous waves were conducted February 21-24 and December 2-6, 2014 and April 2-6 and November 16-18, 2015.
 The current survey interviewed a national sample of 1,006 adults
 The previous waves included 1,005 adults, 1,004, 1,005, and 1,003 respectively.
 These slides also contain some data filtered on just those respondents reporting that they
know ‘A great deal’, ‘A fair amount’, or ‘ A little bit’ about the ICC at Q1 (cutting out those who
say they know ‘Nothing at all’). This reduced the filtered base size to 372, and is referred to in
the data as ‘Aware of ICC’ audience.
─ The first wave included 379 of these respondents
─ The second wave included 338 of these respondents
─ The third wave included 408 of these respondents
─ The fourth wave included 349 of these respondents
 Weighting then employed to balance demographics and ensure that the sample's composition
reflects that of the U.S. adult population according to Census data and to provide results intended
to approximate the sample universe.
 Statistical margins of error are not applicable to online polls because they are based on samples
drawn from opt-in online panels, not on random samples that mirror the population within a
statistical probability ratio.
 All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to
coverage error, and measurement error.

The United States is currently a member of the
International Criminal Court
It is important for the United States to participate in
international organizations that support human rights
and that hold individuals accountable for mass atrocities
Joining international organizations concerned with
human rights and holding individuals accountable for
mass atrocities is a risk to the US because it could hurt
our autonomy
We should dedicate US resources (financial, military,
intelligence, etc) to international organizations that
support human rights and that hold individuals
accountable for mass atrocities
It is not in our best interests to dedicate US resources
(financial, military, intelligence, etc.) to supporting
international organizations that support human rights

3. The International Criminal Court (ICC)is the world’s only permanent international tribunal created by a treaty for the
purpose of investigating and prosecuting war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity (mass atrocities). Currently, 122
countries are members of the International Criminal Court. The United States formally announced in 2002 that it would not
become a member of the International Criminal Court for a multitude of reasons, including questions about the court’s
jurisdiction and structure.
Some people believe that the US should become more involved in or fully join the ICC so that we can use our considerable
power, influence, and resources to support the important efforts of the Court to pursue individuals who have committed mass
atrocities (when the perpetrator’s own country’s courts have failed to do so)
Some people believe that the US should not join the ICC because it compromises our sovereignty as a nation, and because our
standing in the world means our military personnel and civilian officials might be prosecuted via the ICC for political reasons
Which of these statements comes closer to your personal opinion?

5A. As you may or may not know, the International Criminal Court (ICC) recently judged sexual violence,
including rape, to be a war crime (when committed during an armed conflict).
In your view, should sexual violence/rape be considered a war crime?

5B. Congolese Vice President Jean-Pierre Bemba was recently convicted for war crimes and crimes against
humanity by the ICC. Specifically, he was found guilty of commanding a militia that committed rape, mass
murder, and pillaging. Among other crimes, the judges determined that Vice President Bemba became aware
that his troops were committing sexual violence and rape of civilian populations and did not punish his
subordinates nor prevent further offenses from occurring.
Do you agree or disagree that the ICC should be able to hold a leader criminally responsible for failing to
punish criminal behavior of subordinates or not preventing further crimes committed by subordinates?

5B. Vice President Bemba’s conviction is the first time the ICC has convicted a leader for the actions of those
under his command, and also the first time the ICC has convicted someone for rape as a war crime and crime
against humanity.
The guilty verdict was determined by panel of three female ICC judges, and the main prosecutor for the ICC
was also a female. Below are some statements that have been made about this trial and the role of the ICC.

With 7 females of 18 total ICC judges, the ICC is a
good example of female empowerment
The fact that all three judges were females
probably had an impact on the outcome of the…
The US Supreme Court should be at least as
gender-balanced as the ICC court
The US should be supporting the work of the ICC
because it is aligned with our values
The US should stay out of this kind of ICC work
because it is not relevant to us
I feel more supportive of the ICC knowing the
prominent role women play in the organization

  • 2. Methodology and Technical Details This is the fifth wave of research for an ongoing Ipsos survey:  Current fieldwork period: April 22-25,2016  The previous waves were conducted February 21-24 and December 2-6, 2014 and April 2-6 and November 16-18, 2015.  The current survey interviewed a national sample of 1,006 adults  The previous waves included 1,005 adults, 1,004, 1,005, and 1,003 respectively.  These slides also contain some data filtered on just those respondents reporting that they know ‘A great deal’, ‘A fair amount’, or ‘ A little bit’ about the ICC at Q1 (cutting out those who say they know ‘Nothing at all’). This reduced the filtered base size to 372, and is referred to in the data as ‘Aware of ICC’ audience. ─ The first wave included 379 of these respondents ─ The second wave included 338 of these respondents ─ The third wave included 408 of these respondents ─ The fourth wave included 349 of these respondents  Weighting then employed to balance demographics and ensure that the sample's composition reflects that of the U.S. adult population according to Census data and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe.  Statistical margins of error are not applicable to online polls because they are based on samples drawn from opt-in online panels, not on random samples that mirror the population within a statistical probability ratio.  All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error, and measurement error. 2

The International Criminal Court (ICC)is the world’s only permanent international tribunal created by a treaty for the purpose of investigating and prosecuting war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity (mass atrocities). Currently, 122 countries are members of the International Criminal Court. The United States formally announced in 2002 that it would not become a member of the International Criminal Court for a multitude of reasons, including questions about the court’s jurisdiction and structure. Some people believe that the US should become more involved in or fully join the ICC so that we can use our considerable power, influence, and resources to support the important efforts of the Court to pursue individuals who have committed mass atrocities (when the perpetrator’s own country’s courts have failed to do so) Some people believe that the US should not join the ICC because it compromises our sovereignty as a nation, and because our standing in the world means our military personnel and civilian officials might be prosecuted via the ICC for political reasons Which of these statements comes closer to your personal opinion? Base: All Respondents (n=1,006); All at least aware of ICC (n=372)

  • 13. Sexual Violence and the ICC 13 5B. Congolese Vice President Jean-Pierre Bemba was recently convicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the ICC. Specifically, he was found guilty of commanding a militia that committed rape, mass murder, and pillaging. Among other crimes, the judges determined that Vice President Bemba became aware that his troops were committing sexual violence and rape of civilian populations and did not punish his subordinates nor prevent further offenses from occurring. Do you agree or disagree that the ICC should be able to hold a leader criminally responsible for failing to punish criminal behavior of subordinates or not preventing further crimes committed by subordinates?
