THE HAGUE, 23/04/09 - The Netherlands wants the US to abolish the act that legitimises the use of force to free Americans if they should fall into the hands of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.
"American legislation that would justify the use of force against the Netherlands to keep Americans out of the ICC is outdated and should be amended,"

By ratifying Rome Statute, U.S. would signal that it believes justice and accountability for the worst human rights violations are indeed central to the rule of law, as well as a stable and just system of government.
