The President should report on the risk that U.S. Armed Forces members in military alliances may be commanded by foreign officers under ICC jurisdiction. The President should also describe possible command changes to reduce those risks, and the materials may be classified.
(a) Alliance command report. Within six months after August 2, 2002, the President should send the appropriate congressional committees* a report for each alliance to which the United States belongs. It must (1) describe how much U.S. Armed Forces members in alliance operations could be put under command or operational control of foreign officers subject to ICC jurisdiction because they are nationals of ICC parties; and (2) evaluate how much that arrangement could increase risks to U.S. members.
(b) Protective measures. Within one year after August 2, 2002, the President should send a description of changes to command and operational-control arrangements that could reduce risks identified under (a)(2).
(c) Classified form. The report, description, or appropriate portions may be submitted in classified form.
Not later than 6 months after August 2, 2002, the President should transmit to the appropriate congressional committees* a report with respect to each military alliance to which the United States is party—
describing the degree to which members of the Armed Forces of the United States may, in the context of military operations undertaken by or pursuant to that alliance, be placed under the command or operational control of foreign military officers subject to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court* because they are nationals of a party to the International Criminal Court*; and
evaluating the degree to which members of the Armed Forces of the United States engaged in military operations undertaken by or pursuant to that alliance may be exposed to greater risks as a result of being placed under the command or operational control of foreign military officers subject to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
Not later than 1 year after August 2, 2002, the President should transmit to the appropriate congressional committees a description of modifications to command and operational control arrangements within military alliances to which the United States is a party that could be made in order to reduce any risks to members of the Armed Forces of the United States identified pursuant to subsection (a)(2).
The report under subsection (a), and the description of measures under subsection (b), or appropriate parts thereof, may be submitted in classified form.
