Limited exemption

UNITED NATIONS July 13. The U.N. Security Council has voted unanimously to exempt American peacekeepers from the jurisdiction of the newly-formed International Criminal Court for a year, ending U.S. threats to halt peacekeeping missions.

As per the resolution passed late Friday night, the exemption can be renewed after one year but is not automatic as the U.S. wanted it. But soon after the resolution — which Britain, France and Mauritius helped draft — was passed, the U.S. indicated that it would seek further exemption after 12 months. — PTI
