Article-Summary: 

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson became the latest critic of Washington’s abandonment of a new international court for the world’s worst crimes, saying on Tuesday it was “regrettable” and “worrying.” The United States said the move, signaled by U.S. officials over the weekend but not declared officially until Monday, was made because of fears that U.S. military personnel and politicians could be subject to the body.
