lpv:translated text	"The majority in Parliament have taken on a domineering role in exerting pressure on the Member States to enact legislation and conclude agreements with the International Criminal Court (ICC). At the same time, they are exerting pressure on third countries prepared to allow individuals who are the subject of an ICC arrest warrant to visit their territories to arrest them or to support their arrest operation. However, as regards the United States, which is not an ICC State Party, they welcome its participation in the Assembly of States Parties as, it should be noted, observers. They simply express their ‘hope’ that the United States will become a State Party. The United States has adopted legislation that bars the country’s authorities from cooperating with the ICC in the case of American citizens, but that also authorises military operations to free US military personnel. Moreover, bilateral agreements have been established, including with EU Member States, so as to ensure that North American military personnel are not surrendered to the ICC in third countries. The – unfortunately common – duplicitous hypocrisy of the majority in Parliament is well suited to the interventionist role of the ICC, which acts according to the political interests of the major powers: a court in the hands of those who impose the rule of brute force, intervention, militarism and war."@en1
