"With the adoption of this report, the majority in Parliament are being duplicitous. Domineering and arrogant, on the one hand, they are exerting pressure on the Member States with regard to enacting legislation and concluding agreements with the International Criminal Court (ICC), and on third countries with regard to ‘arresting’ individuals who are the subject of arrest warrants or to ‘supporting an arrest operation’. They talk meekly, on the other hand, as regards the United States – which is not an ICC State Party – and welcome its participation in the Assembly of States Parties as, it should be noted, an ‘observer’; they merely express their ‘hope’ that the United States will become a State Party. The United States has adopted legislation that bars the country’s authorities from cooperating with the ICC in the case of American citizens, but that also authorises military operations to free US military personnel. However, bilateral agreements have been drafted, including with EU Member States, so as to ensure that North American military personnel are not surrendered to the ICC in third countries. The – unfortunately common – duplicitous hypocrisy of the majority in Parliament is well suited to the interventionist role of the ICC, which acts according to the political interests of the major powers: a court in the hands of those who impose the rule of brute force, intervention, militarism and war."@en1
