Ipsos Polling

The American Bar Association’s International Criminal Court (ICC) Project has partnered with Ipsos Market Research to provide regular polling data on American opinions on international criminal justice, in particular the International Criminal Court (ICC). Through its polling reports, Ipsos will track a range of issues on whether and to what extent Americans feel the US Government should support the ICC, including joining the Court. Additionally, each report will feature American opinions on a current event in international criminal justice.

 


It is important for the United States to participate in international organizations that support human rights and that hold individuals accountable for mass atrocities
