Two things... the first has not even been touched upon by international org reports... yet:

(1a) It is already recognized by other countries and jurists on international law that the US invasion of Iraq is illegal under international law.

(1b) The conduct after the invasion of Iraq contravenes several Treaties to which the US is party. This contravention continues.

(2) The Columbian situation was brought about by one of these, now famous, "US aid" agreements. There is no such thing as "aid" from the US. The "thing" in Washington did a deal with Columbia to have the government intern "all and any" as they saw fit, - ie "arrest and no trial", (a common US trait!), "arrest and indefinate incarceration", "arrest cause we feel like it". There are now no individual freedoms in Columbia. This "arrangement" was made in return for "aid" from the US. Three days after this was agreed, "aid" was sent to Columbia.

I can see now, but saw this earlier, why the US "cannot" subscribe to any Human Rights issues (even for folks living within the US), and avoided signing the Treaty to prosecute war crimes.
I could be fair to assume under the current climate that there would be some interest in signing this.
