EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana today advised European Union members that the United States will never accept the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and that instead of wasting time trying to persuade them to sign up, other nations should find a way to make progress without them.
Aljazeera reports that, "Washington has been implacably opposed to the court from the outset, fearing 'frivolous' cases being brought against US citizens, including soldiers serving abroad, for example in Iraq or Afghanistan."
Established in the Hague in 2004, the ICC is the world's first permanent war crimes court.
