Aljazeera.Net - US wants court exemption renewed: "But Washington has signed bilateral agreements with 89 countries who promised not to prosecute American citizens anywhere as well as anyone under contract to the United States, said Richard Grenell, spokesman for US ambassador John Negroponte.

Some of those who ratified the treaty also signed the agreement with the United States, which in some cases is tied to aid."

"Under former President Bill Clinton, the US was one of 135 nations that signed the treaty, but the Bush administration rescinded the signature."
