    June 14, 2004

    Memorandum for the Secretary of State

    Subject: Certification Concerning U.S. Participation in the United
    Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti Consistent with Section 2005 of
    the American Servicemembers' Protection Act

        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.
                                                    George W. Bush

     [Filed with the Office of the Federal Register, 8:45 a.m., June 17,
