International Justice System Under Attack

Please sign a petition on Amnesty International's website for all
governments not to enter into US impunity agreements

On Tuesday 17 September 2002, Amnesty International launched a worldwide
petition for individuals around the world to call on all governments to
refuse to enter into impunity agreements currently being proposed by the
United States not to surrender US nationals accused of genocide, crimes
against humanity and war crimes to the new International Criminal Court.

The petition is located on our website - www.amnesty.org - and national
Amnesty International websites. After approximately 1 month we will submit
the final petition to all governments. We also intend to submit those
signatures received by 27 September to EU Ministers of Foreign Affairs who
will meet to consider the issue on 30 September.

We would be very grateful if you and your members could support this
initiative by signing the petition on the website and asking your members
and other contacts to do so. Please feel free to link to the petition from
your websites - the exact links are:
