THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 2002 The Clinton and Bush administrations are criticized in a report being released today about the United States' role in the treaty making process. The Institute for Energy and Environmental Research and the Lawyers' Committee on Nuclear Policy say the failure to adhere to treaties and the move to back away from previously signed agreements is undermining international law. The groups cite a nuclear treaty which the Clinton administration signed but didn't support in the Senate and another to create the International Criminal Court opposed by Bush officials. Bush withdrew from a global warming treaty last year. He approved a treaty limiting and banning deadly toxins that affect indigenous communities. Get the Story:
