Smalls - Who is that in your avatar, Raina? You look sick (not socially sick, but physically sick) in your avatar. Are you?
Anyway, America is threatening to veto all peacekeeping resolutions at the security council, and it is better to let peacekeepers do their duty and let the court function properly than throw it all away for principle. The chances that American peacekeepers do anything criminal is slim to nil anyway. It isn't really that important, but it devalues the ICC, Americas image, our relationship with our allies & the Security Council.
DICK_IN_ASS_TIMOTHY - yes the council of human rights is a joke, it has been taken over by countries looking to protect themselves from scrutiny like sudan. I can't argue with that.

As far as the ICC, a case must be justified in the eyes of 3 independent judges in order to proceed. It isn't like Iraq can just accuse america of a crime, then america has to defend itself.
The UN is not a joke, neither is the ICC. I could explain it but it would take 1/2 an hour and your opinion wouldn't change anyway so i won't.
Doktor Bollix - No, the International Criminal Court. It is different from the WCJ.
