英タイムズ：ブレアの妻の人権派弁護士チェリー・ブースがブッシュを攻撃！
名字の語尾はthだが、カタカナ表記ではブースとなる。しかし、日本式に「ぶす」などと発音してはならない。
日本でも偽善系左翼が騒ぐ国際軍事裁判所にアメリカが反対し批准しないので、「人権派弁護士の指導者」が批判したということでしかないのだが、ブッシュ訪英の日に、この記事がワシントン・ポスト経由で、タイムズに掲載されるというのは、ちょっと面白い。

Bush in Britain

Blair's wife attacks Bush over international court
BY RICHARD COLWILL
Cherie Booth, QC, the wife of the Prime Minister, has attacked President Bush over his opposition to the International Criminal Court, it was reported today.
Ms Booth, a leading human rights lawyer, said that Mr Bush's argument for rejecting the court "is not well founded" and that without America on board, everyone stands to lose out, The Washington Post reported.
She added: "It seems inconceivable that a state committed to the rule of law, such as the US, would refuse to investigate and prosecute its nationals should there be reliable evidence that they had been involved in international crimes."
The Bush Administration has withdrawn American support for the treaty establishing the court, arguing that US military personnel would be subject to the prejudices of an "unaccountable prosecutor and its unchecked judicial power".
The United States has also sought to pressure other countries to sign bilateral agreements that would exempt US soldiers and policymakers from the court's jurisdiction.
The treaty establishing the international court, which is designed to prosecute war crimes such as genocide and torture, has been signed by 132 countries, while a further 92 have ratified it.
Ms Booth said during a panel discussion on human rights and international law at Georgetown University, Washington, that Britain was a strong supporter of the court and had come to the decision that its citizens are not threatened by its existence, the Post reported.
She said she hoped America would reach a similar viewpoint. "With time we can but hope the US will come to share that perspective with regard to its own people, and recognise that the concerns it has expressed ﾐ legitimate as they may now seem ﾐ are not well founded", she said.
"The absence of the United States means we all stand to lose."
Ms Booth said she was "convinced the international criminal court with independent prosecutors putting tyrants and torturers in the dock before independent judges reflects the [post-Second World War] human rights aspiration come true.
"It is a shining example of how human rights might be realized under international law."
She added that "the US appears unwilling to see there are various safeguards built into the statute, which ensure that all states have nothing to fear from the court".
