From the posted article:

The United States faces a dilemma because it wants the perpetrators of atrocities in Sudan's western Darfur region brought to justice but it vehemently opposes the International Criminal Court on grounds that Americans could face politically motivated or frivolous prosecutions.

France agreed to postpone a vote until Thursday after the United States said it wanted to amend the draft resolution to ensure that no Americans could be handed over to the court, the world's first permanent war crimes tribunal, U.N. diplomats said.

The United States came up with amendments late Thursday but the diplomats said they weren't acceptable to the nine council members that are parties to the court, including close U.S. ally Britain. In response, France was drafting new amendments which were to be shared with the court's supporters overnight and discussed with the Americans on Thursday, the diplomats said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
