The International Criminal Court came into operation on 1 July. So far the United States has prevailed upon 44 countries publicly to say they will not prosecute US citizens before the ICC. These were the figures given this morning by the media. Seven countries have secretly agreed. Can I have an assurance that Ireland is not one of the seven secret countries that have agreed that under no circumstance will it refer US citizens to the International Criminal Court? I am sure we are not, but after recent events in Iraq one is never certain of anything.
