lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, on a point of order, we should be celebrating the International Criminal Court, which today comes into formal existence. Unfortunately, in the United Nations yesterday, the United States vetoed the United Nations mandate for Sfor in Bosnia, in which many EU countries are participating. I should like to express my strongest possible objection to the operation of that veto in the Security Council, because it effectively vetoes, not only the mandate by the United Nations in relation to Sfor, but also the foreign policy of Ireland and other countries which operate in Sfor based on the UN mandate. Ireland may therefore have to withdraw from Sfor because a UN mandate will not now exist if this veto persists. I would ask you to convey my objections at least, if not the objections of many others in this Parliament, to this operation by the United States. It is unbelievable that the United States is seeking to act outside international norms of law. It is unbelievable that it wants its personnel to be free from prosecution if they are involved in human rights breaches. It is not acceptable to this House and it should not be acceptable to the European Union."@en1
