Canadian Foreign Minister Mitchell Sharp said the International Control Commission cannot investigate the My Lai massacre under the 1954 ceasefire terms. He noted the UN inquiry idea is unlikely due to Communist states opposing UN role. US charges loom for most of 24 soldiers linked to My Lai, with court-martial decisions pending for Calley and Sgt. Mitchell amid ongoing evidence gathering.
