"Mr President, on a point of order, I too would like to distance myself along with my colleague, Roger Helmer, from Mr De Rossa's comments regarding the International Criminal Court and the fact that today it became operational in The Hague. The Rome Statute is flawed, as it would allow political mischief against American troops and political leaders. It would make peace and reconciliation much more difficult, as no longer could guerrilla leaders or dictators be given any kind of guarantee or immunity from prosecution after a peace and reconciliation process.
It is interesting that only some 70 countries have signed the Rome Statute. Russia and China – and nobody has criticised Russia and China on the other side of the House – have also refused to sign the statute for good reasons. Surely, ad hoc tribunals such as those in former Yugoslavia or Rwanda are a much better solution."@en1
