SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina -- Bosnia signed an agreement with the United States on Friday that exempts Americans from prosecution by a new international criminal court.

In a ceremony attended by U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Bosnia promised not to extradite U.S. troops and other Americans charged with genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes.

More than two dozen other nations have signed similar agreements, accepting Washington's arguments that U.S. troops could be subjected to politically motivated trials.

"We simply don't believe the ICC (International Criminal Court) -- which has no political supervision over it -- is a fair and appropriate mechanism to submit American soldiers to," Wolfowitz said.

The court, inaugurated on March 12, is charged with intervening only when a country is unable or lacks the political will to carry out a trial. It was signed by 78 nations and is charged with prosecuting crimes committed after July 1, 2002.
