Certification Concerning U.S. Participation in 
                the United Nations Mission in South Sudan Consistent 
                With Section 2005 of the American Servicemembers' 
                Protection Act

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, and consistent with section 2005 of the 
                American Servicemembers' Protection Act of 2002 (Public 
                Law 107-206; 22 U.S.C. 7421 et seq.), concerning the 
                participation of members of the Armed Forces of the 
                United States in certain United Nations peacekeeping 
                and peace enforcement operations, I hereby certify that 
                members of the U.S. Armed Forces participating in the 
                United Nations Mission in South Sudan are without risk 
                of criminal prosecution or other assertion of 
                jurisdiction by the International Criminal Court (ICC) 
                because the Republic of South Sudan is not a party to 
                the ICC and has not invoked the jurisdiction of the ICC 
                pursuant to Article 12 of the Rome Statute.

                You are authorized and directed to publish this 
                determination in the Federal Register.
