lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the setting up of the International Criminal Court is of course a quantum leap in the struggle for human rights. On the other hand, the United States’ rejection of the ICC is another attempt to weaken the entire authority of the UN. It is clear, in my view, that the United States is trying to make use of its position as a superpower merely to take care of its own narrow interests. In relation to the ICC, I should like to warn the Council and the Commission against devising a cosmetic compromise in which real immunity for American citizens who have committed war crimes is wrapped up in every conceivable kind of complicated legal hair-splitting. An International Criminal Court without American participation is naturally a weakened court. An ICC with formal American participation but in which American war criminals remain, in actual fact, immune from prosecution would, however, totally undermine the Court’s authority. A legal system neither can nor should be set up in that way."@en1
