So Amnesty international and Human Rights Watch wants to take away my freedom, and the sovereinty of the U.S.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Amnesty International have urged Security Council members to oppose resolutions submitted by Richard Williamson, U.S. ambassador to the UN for political affairs, which would accord blanket immunity from prosecution by the ICC for all personnel serving in the UN-approved mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and exempt all government officials, including soldiers, from countries which contribute troops to all UN-authorized or -mandated operations from being subject to ICC rules.

"The U.S. is trying to get at this treaty through the back door," said HRW's executive director Kenneth Roth. "It's using the Security Council as a battering ram to attack an institution that dozens of countries regard as a fait accompli." HRW and other rights groups consider the ICC to be potentially the most important human rights body to be created since the Nuremberg tribunals after World War II.
