"Numerous safeguards in the ICC treaty will prevent frivolous or politically motivated cases. "

There are irreconcilable factual differences between what the US is saying, what Human Rights Watch is saying, and what some of the press are reporting about the amount of control the U.N. Security Council has over the ICC and some other issues. Two of the three must be wrong. HRW has lots of detailed information about the ICC, along with links the ICC pages and counterpoints to the U.S. position. Its a reasonable starting point for research if you are interested in the disagreement.

Personally, I advise caution in deciding to "agree" with anyone in this situation unless you have time to read the actual treaty. The international support for the court leads one to question the credibility of the US position. On the other hand, Human Rights Watch joins many who don't want you to THINK about the issue by making irrational emotional appeals which divert your attention from the real questions:

"The move is the latest manifestation of the view in Washington that international justice is only for others, not for Americans. Yet behind this breathtaking arrogance, the US administration is trying to determine how far it can push its allies."
