Every leftist’s wet-dream, handing over US sovereignty to a foreign organization. Even with the supposed exemptions Obama asked for, he’s opening a door that should have remained welded shut.

(ABC News) — The U.N. resolution imposing tough sanctions against Libya marked the first time that the United States has given its support to the International Criminal Court and signified a remarkable turnaround, though it includes a key exemption demanded by the Obama administration.

The resolution adopted unanimously by the Security Council on Saturday refers the actions of Moammar Gadhafi’s regime since Feb. 15 to the court’s prosecutor who must decide whether there is enough evidence of alleged crimes against humanity to warrant a full investigation. Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo is required to deliver an initial report to the council in two months.

“It’s a historic vote by the United States government because it’s the first time in a Security Council resolution the United States has voted affirmatively on the side of the International Criminal Court,” said Richard Dicker, head of the International Justice Program at Human Rights Watch. “That’s a positive step.”
