100 Countries Approve War Tribunal. The U.S. is struggling with over a hundred other countries over wording that would make Americans subject to arrest in foreign countries for war crimes even if the U.S. has not ratified the treaty. The U.S. government claims that would make our citizens and troops subject to “politically motivated” prosecution. It seems to me that full participation in the treaty process, rather than whining and seeking special treatment from an indefensible position of moral superiority, would be the only way to ensure a morally and legally robust tribunal system.
