Infuriating allies, US demands immunity for its peacekeepers Posted on Thursday, June 20 @ 10:25:57 EDT (427 reads) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Oliver Burkeman, The Guardian America has infuriated its allies at the United Nations by threatening to keep US troops out of peacekeeping forces unless they are granted a blanket immunity from prosecution by the International Criminal Court, which comes into being next month. Richard Williamson, a US representative at the UN, said he had warned the security council that "there should be no misunderstanding. If there is not adequate protection for US peacekeepers, there will be no US peacekeepers." Human rights campaigners accused the US of a "shortsighted and ultimately pathetic" scare campaign. guardian.co.uk smirkingchimp.com """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" The gist of it?
