article about the International Criminal Court in the Hague and how the Amis want a 'Zweiklassenrecht'. I'm thinking 'dual track justice' but think I (we) can do better, thanks

Hearings and appeals. The objective, as stated at the beginning of the report, is that minor offences be dealt with expeditiously and informally and that even major offences be dealt with reasonably expeditiously. The right of appeal militates against making every determination of every complaint an interminably justiciable process. Concerns about delay are justifiable. Another concern related to delay is expense because it is very expensive to involve lawyers. It raises the specter that even in relatively minor circumstances those who would bring lawyers would be those who could afford them; in other words, a potential **two tier legal system**.

one rule for them and one rule for everybody else
Not exactly a short answer, but I think it covers the idea.

: That's the gist of it, but you can't phrase it that way in this text.

I think it will be difficult to make it neater, but hopefully someone will prove me wrong.

two-class legal system
"Zweiklassen-" is a popular term here in Germany to refer to anything that doesn't treat everybody as equals. At the moment, there is a lot of heated debate about the healthcare system here leading to "Zweiklassenmedizin", i.e. the mass of people in the "Krankenkassen" and the more priveleged ones with private health insurance with far better benefits.
The phrase above fits in with this and is a negative reference to the Americans' insistance that their nationals will not be subject to the ICC like everybody else - resulting in a two-class legal system.

two-speed justice system
I have also heard (read) this in the context of systems.
. We have in effect a two-speed, elitist system which denies women ... All Members must be very thankful to Miss Justice Mella ... The present system is totally unjust ...
www.oireachtas-debates.gov.ie/D.0427.199302260004.html
Negotiating positions: Preparations hotting up as WTO Secretariat seeks to ‘pre-cook’ a draft and avoid repeating Seattle. US position unclear as new administration beds in, but developing countries won't accept US demands for core labour standards backed by sanctions.
Deterioration in US economy may help finding a compromise. EU wants next round to focus on investment and competition, and to be held in a
limited, ‘plurilateral’ arena. Runs risk of not winning support and setting
up two-speed system of trade norms.
