This work aims to understand how interméstic dynamics shape the United States; position regarding the International Criminal Court (ICC), focusing on the case of Venezuela. The research seeks to explore how U.S. positions on the ICC can be interpreted by analyzing the effects of U.S. actions on the development of international criminal justice. It examines the U.S. s strategies to influence ICC processes without compromising its sovereignty or subjecting its citizens to the Court jurisdiction. Given the historical interactions between the U.S. and the ICC, the research problem investigates the diverse stances adopted by the U.S., arguing that these cannot be fully understood through a perspective that assumes the State as a unitary actor or foreign policy guided by homogeneous national interests. The study contextualizes this dynamic within the framework of U.S. domestic and international policies, highlighting an interméstic approach that integrates both internal and external pressures in formulating U.S. foreign policy.
