United States demands immunities before UN peacekeeping role
The United States said it will not take part in UN peacekeeping unless the Security Council grants blanket immunity from the International Criminal Court. With the court starting July 1, Washington seeks protection for personnel in UN missions and NATO forces in Bosnia, facing vetoes from Britain and France among others. The initiative follows the Bush administration’s May stance rejecting the treaty and tribunal.

Bush offers extra funds to curb mother child HIV spread
President Bush on Wednesday proposed adding 300 million dollars in fiscal 2004 to aid nations in Africa and the Caribbean in protecting infants from HIV. The plan would augment the 200 million already directed to the Mother and Child HIV Prevention Initiative, aiming to reduce mother to child transmission by providing nevirapine to mother during labor and a dose to the baby within 36 hours of birth.
