Mexicans Reject US-Troop-Impunity
The Mexican Chamber of Deputies rejected the US intention to prevent their military officers accused of crimes against humanity or war crimes from appearing before the International Criminal Court.

Most legislators signed agreement exhorting President Vicente Fox to not sign a US agreement proposal, entailing immunity to their troops abroad.

The text elaborated by the Foreign Affairs Committee warns that the US government holds meetings to make other countries to sign treaties with that objective.

It says Washington made the application formal, threatening to suspend all military aid to this nation.

The Mexican Parliament Lower Chamber said immunity is alien to the Court statues´ nature and recalled that Washington´s intentions were already rejected by the European Union.
