周五，六个欧洲国家、加拿大和日本对美国宣布对国际刑事法院（ICC）实施制裁表示遗憾，并警告称这些措施可能会严重影响该法院的运作、工作人员及其家属。
Six European countries, Canada and Japan on Friday expressed regret over the US announcement of sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC), warning that the measures could significantly affect its operations, staff and their families.
在一份联合声明中，丹麦、德国、法国、意大利、荷兰和英国的外交部长，以及加拿大和日本的同行表示，他们“强烈不同意”华盛顿的这一宣布。
In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK, along with their Canadian and Japanese counterparts, said they "strongly disagree" with Washington's announcement.
声明称：“我们作为《国际刑事法院罗马规约》的签署国，重申我们对国际刑事法院的独立性、公正性和完整性给予持续且坚定的支持。”
"We, the undersigned States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), reaffirm our continued and unwavering support for the independence, impartiality, and integrity of the ICC," the statement said.
部长们对法院为应对潜在制裁所做的准备工作表示欢迎，称这些措施将有助于其继续履行《罗马规约》规定的职责。
The ministers welcomed the court's preparations to respond to potential sanctions, saying the measures would help it continue carrying out its mandate under the Rome Statute.
他们警告说：“尽管如此，如果这些制裁付诸实施，将对法院的工作、其敬业的工作人员及其家属产生重大影响。”
"Nevertheless, if put into effect, these sanctions will have a significant impact on the Court's work, its dedicated staff and their families," they warned.
这八个国家还承诺，在定于12月举行的缔约国大会之前，与非《罗马规约》缔约国进行“建设性和包容性的对话”。
The eight countries also pledged to pursue "constructive and inclusive dialogue" with countries that are not parties to the Rome Statute ahead of the Assembly of States Parties scheduled for December.
声明表示：“我们将继续共同努力，支持法院的重要工作，维护基于规则的国际体系，并推动问责制。”
"We will continue to work together to support the Court's vital work, uphold the rules-based international system, and advance accountability," the statement said.
