Because war crimes could be charged and some people might get prosecuted ... that's why.

The idea of a world court sounds very creepy very Orwellian.
(One World Government ring a bell?) I am hoping they feel the same way. It is fine to have meetings and discussions but world court can backfire. Who's the other country? Mine I hope.

Its because we are above the laws of the world, everone has to do what we say not the other way around. We have been on top so long we have become the perfect society, we have no need to to partake in a lesser court.

We won't surrender sovereignty in this world. Remember most of the world is jealous of the US in terms of production and standard of living. Would you agree to be judged by people who hate you? This also why we have a veto in United Nations.
