Welcomes resolution withdrawal

The United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan, has welcomed the decision by the US to withdraw a Security Council resolution on renewing immunity for US troops for war crimes prosecutions. 

The resolution would have guaranteed that American troops on UN missions could not be tried at the International Criminal Court. 

It was withdrawn when it became clear that the measure would be defeated.
