The United States is not in a position at this time to
join in the adoption of this resolution. If a vote had
been called on this resolution, we would have abstained.
We emphasize, however, that the United States remains
steadfastly committed to promoting the rule of law and
helping to bring violators of international humanitarian
law to justice, wherever the violations may occur, and
will continue to play a leadership role in righting these
wrongs. As we have emphasized, we cannot ignore the
terrible crimes that have occurred in places like Darfur
and the massive human suffering that the world has
witnessed.
