Annan urges UN to end shield from US war crime probes
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan urged the Security Council to drop the blanket exemption shielding American peacekeepers from international prosecution for war crimes. He cited the Iraq prisoner abuse issue and warned the council against granting a second consecutive exemption, saying it would discredit the UN and undermine the rule of law. The U.S. seeks a one year exemption while promoting bilateral accords with 89 nations to bar ICC prosecutions. The ICC began operating in 2002 to adjudicate genocide war crimes and crimes against humanity.
