US demand for immunity for Liberia peacekeepers said illegal.
(From Agence France Presse)
A US demand for jurisdictional exemption from the International Criminal Court (ICC) for a members of a multinational peacekeeping force in Liberia would violate international law, legal experts said.
The United States on Wednesday tabled a resolution in the UN Security Council that would authorize deployment of a multinational peacekeeping force in Liberia. But it included a proviso that participants in the force be exempt from the ICC's jurisdiction.
William R. Pace, Convenor of the Coalition for the International Criminal Court said inclusion of the provision was "particularly disturbing" and would violate "treaties and international laws."
Several members of the security council expressed similar reserve.
"This article in its current wording is difficult to accept," said a diplomat of a Security Council member country.
