Memorandum of June 14, 2004

Certification Concerning U.S. Participation in
the United

Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti Consistent with
Section 2005 of the American Servicemembers' Protection
Act

Memorandum for the Secretary of State

Consistent with section 2005 of the American
Servicemembers' Protection Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-
206; 22 U.S.C. 7421 et seq.), concerning the
participation of members of the Armed Forces of the
United States in certain U.N. peacekeeping and peace
enforcement operations, I hereby certify that members
of the U.S. Armed Forces participating in the United
Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) are
without risk of criminal prosecution or other assertion
of jurisdiction by the International Criminal Court
because Haiti has entered into an agreement in
accordance with Article 98 of the Rome Statute
preventing the International Criminal Court from
proceeding against members of the Armed Forces of the
United States present in that country.

You are authorized and directed to submit this
certification to the Congress and arrange for its
publication in the Federal Register.
