国际刑事法院（ICC）周五强烈驳斥美国对该机构实施的制裁，称此举是试图阻碍司法公正，并誓言将继续独立开展工作。
The International Criminal Court (ICC) on Friday strongly rejected US sanctions imposed on the institution, calling them an attempt to obstruct justice and vowing to continue its work independently.
法院在一份声明中表示：“这项措施针对的是一个独立的司法机构。该机构通过条约设立，并受125个缔约国的委托，负责调查和起诉种族灭绝罪、危害人类罪、战争罪以及侵略罪。”
“This measure targets an independent judicial institution, created by treaty and entrusted by 125 States Parties with investigating and prosecuting genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression,” the court said in a statement.
国际刑事法院称这些制裁是“对法治原则”以及国际法律秩序基础的“攻击”。
The ICC described the sanctions as “an assault on the rule of law” and the foundations of the international legal order.
法院表示，这些措施旨在扰乱其运作，并恐吓为其工作或与其合作的人员。
It said the measures aimed to disrupt the court’s operations and intimidate those working for or cooperating with it.
国际刑事法院院长赤根智子表示：“法院将继续以独立和无偏见的态度，完全履行其职责，仅依据法律和证据采取行动，以维护无数严重罪行受害者的权益。”
“The Court will continue to fully discharge its mandate, with independence and impartiality, acting only on the basis of the law and the evidence, for the sake of the countless victims of grave crimes,” ICC President Tomoko Akane said.
法院称，这些制裁是在美国将13名独立法官和检察官列入制裁名单之后实施的，并补充说，这不会阻止其履行使命。
The court said the sanctions followed US designations against 13 independent judges and prosecutors, adding that it would not be deterred from carrying out its mandate.
国际刑事法院呼吁成员国采取具体行动，确保其拥有继续工作所需的资源。
The ICC called on member states to take concrete steps to ensure it had the resources needed to continue its work.
声明称：“这不仅关乎捍卫一个单一机构，更关乎维护以法治为基础的国际秩序。”
“This is not just about defending a single institution, but about safeguarding the international order grounded upon the rule of law,” the statement said.
法院还表示，“任何人都不应因服务正义事业而受到惩罚。”它补充说，未来世代和大规模暴行的受害者将评判国际社会对这些制裁的反应。
The court also said that “no one should be punished for serving the cause of justice.”It added that future generations and victims of mass atrocities would judge how the international community responded to the sanctions.
该声明是在美国国务卿马可·卢比奥宣布对该法院实施制裁之后发布的。
The statement followed an announcement by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio of sanctions against the court.
声明还强调了法院在确保对严重国际罪行追究责任方面所发挥的作用。
It also emphasized the court's role in ensuring accountability for serious international crimes.
声明称：“作为最后的救济机构，国际刑事法院在打击最严重国际罪行的有罪不罚现象方面发挥着重要作用。”
"As a court of last resort, the ICC plays an important role in combating impunity for the most serious international crimes," it said.
在宣布制裁措施时，卢比奥表示：“特朗普总统绝不会允许国际刑事法院起诉美国人。正因如此，今天美国对国际刑事法院实施了制裁。”
Announcing the sanctions, Rubio said: "President Trump will never allow the International Criminal Court to prosecute Americans. That is why, today, the United States is sanctioning the International Criminal Court."
他还威胁称，除非国际刑事法院停止他所谓的“威胁”，否则他将“终结国际刑事法院”。
He also threatened to "end the ICC" unless it stopped what he described as its "threats."
