国际刑事法院（ICC）已立即终止与法国健康及人寿保险公司安盛的合同，并将转用另一家保险服务商。
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has ended its contract with the French health and life insurer Axa effective immediately and will be moving to use another insurance provider.
据《金融时报》周四最先报道，此次变化正值美国总统唐纳德·特朗普加强对这家总部位于海牙的法院的抨击之际。
The change, which was first reported by the Financial Times on Thursday, comes as United States President Donald Trump ramps up attacks on the Hague-based court.
上月月底，《华尔街日报》报道称，在该法院呼吁逮捕以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡之际，白宫正准备对国际刑事法院实施制裁。特朗普政府已于8月制裁包括国际刑事法院院长在内的十余名法官和检察官。
Late last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that the White House was preparing sanctions against the ICC amid the court’s call to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Trump administration has already sanctioned more than a dozen ICC judges and prosecutors, including the ICC president in August.
在上周举行的联合国大会上，特朗普称国际刑事法院是“邪恶”和“流氓机构”，并敦促各国退出该机构。唯一效仿的国家是瑙奥埃罗，这个太平洋小岛国旧称瑙鲁。
At last week’s United Nations General Assembly, Trump referred to the ICC as an “evil” and “a rogue institution” and urged countries to leave it. The only country to follow suit is Naoero, a tiny Pacific island nation formerly known as Nauru.
特朗普政府表示，国际刑事法院声称对包括美国和以色列在内的未批准其《罗马规约》这一创设条约的国家公民拥有管辖权，因此超出了其权限。
The Trump administration has said that the ICC oversteps its authority by claiming jurisdiction over citizens of countries, including the US and Israel, that have not ratified its founding treaty, known as the Rome Statute.
《华尔街日报》报道称，国际刑事法院表示，制裁可能禁止其进行涉及美元的交易。
The ICC said sanctions could prohibit it from conducting transactions involving the US dollar, the Wall Street Journal reported.
《金融时报》报道称，安盛和国际刑事法院均担忧，即将实施的制裁会迫使这家总部位于巴黎的保险公司停止与该法院开展业务。经过数月谈判，双方仍未能达成解决方案，除非启用所谓的“阻断法”——这是一种旨在保护欧洲企业免受第三国制裁影响的法律机制。
Axa and the ICC expressed concern that the looming sanctions would force the Paris-based insurer to stop doing business with the court, the Financial Times reported. After months of talks, the two sides were unable to find a solution without using what is called a blocking statute — a legal mechanism designed to protect European firms from the impacts of sanctions imposed by third countries, the report said.
国际刑事法院发言人在一份声明中告诉路透社：“安盛与法院经双方协商一致，决定终止合同关系。”国际刑事法院和安盛均未回应半岛电视台置评请求。
“Axa and the Court have decided by mutual agreement to terminate the contractual relationship,” the ICC spokesperson told Reuters news agency in a statement. The ICC and Axa did not respond to Al Jazeera’s request for comment.
《金融时报》称，法院将采用一家新的医疗保险提供商，但未说明具体是哪家公司。
The Financial Ttimes said that the court would use a new health insurance provider but didn’t specify the firm.
