Asking how you’d tell if they were lying is really missing the point. It’s not evidence being presented in a court of law, it’s social etiquette.
Handshakes date from a time when the person you’re meeting having a knife they intend to stab you with was a serious concern, so the custom of grasping each others dominant hand to say “look, I’m not holding a knife” became popular. Doesn’t stop people from having a weapon in their other hand, but would you say handshakes are pointless?
That really isn’t how that works. The US has declared that they won’t allow the international courts to get involved, but that doesn’t necessarily prevent those courts from disagreeing.
“Jurisdiction” is only a thing when a court answers to some higher authority who has limited what that court can do. Since the international courts theoretically don’t answer to the US government, they can make any ruling they like.
They’re unlikely to bother, since they probably won’t be in a position to enforce any ruling against typical foot soldiers, but they absolutely could if it came to that point
