日本周五对美国针对国际刑事法院（ICC）的最新制裁表示“深切关注”，称这些措施与东京长期以来对国际司法机构的支持相矛盾。
Japan on Friday expressed “deep concern” over the latest US sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), saying the measures contradict Tokyo's longstanding support for international judicial institutions.
日本外务大臣茂木敏充重申了东京对包括国际刑事法院、国际法院以及国际海洋法法庭在内的国际法院的支持。
Japan’s Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi reaffirmed Tokyo’s support for international courts, including the ICC, the International Court of Justice and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.
根据日本外务省在美国社交媒体平台上发布的声明，茂木敏充表示：“这些措施与日本的一贯立场不符，日本对此深感关切。国际刑事法院及其缔约国解决法院所面临的挑战，以确保法院得到妥善管理，这一点至关重要。”
"The measures are incompatible with Japan's consistent position, and Japan is deeply concerned about them," he said, according to a statement posted by the foreign ministry on US social media platform“It is important that the ICC and its States Parties address the challenges facing the Court, so that the Court is administered appropriately,” Motegi said.
声明称，茂木敏充已就日本在这一问题上的立场与美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥交换了意见。
The statement said the minister had exchanged views with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Japan’s position on the issue.
东京承诺将继续与华盛顿、国际刑事法院院长赤根智子及其他国家保持接触，以“致力于加强国际社会的法治”。
Tokyo pledged continued engagement with Washington, ICC President Tomoko Akane and other countries to “work toward strengthening the rule of law in the international community.”
此前，鲁比奥曾威胁称，除非国际刑事法院停止他所描述的“威胁”行为，否则将“终结国际刑事法院”，并敦促美国盟友“约束该法院”。此前，由于国际刑事法院于2024年11月对以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡和前国防部长约阿夫·加兰发出逮捕令，指控他们在加沙犯下战争罪和反人类罪，美国曾制裁包括身为日本籍的国际刑事法院院长赤根智子在内的多名法院官员。日本是国际刑事法院成员国，而美国和以色列则不是。
The statement came after Rubio threatened to "end the ICC" unless it stopped what he described as its "threats," urging US allies to "rein in the court." The US previously sanctioned several ICC officials, including ICC President Akane, a Japanese national, following the tribunal's November 2024 arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Japan is an ICC member, while the US and Israel are not.
日本首相高市早苗对美国针对国际刑事法院（ICC）的制裁表示深切担忧，称这些措施与东京长期以来对国际法的承诺相矛盾。高市早苗表示：“这些措施与日本的一贯立场不相容，日本对此深感忧虑。”她重申了日本对该法院及其在维护国际法治方面所发挥作用的支持。
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi expressed deep concern over US sanctions on the ICC, saying the measures contradict Tokyo's longstanding commitment to international law. "The measures are incompatible with Japan’s such consistent position, and Japan is deeply concerned about them," Takaichi said, reaffirming Japan's support for the court and its role in upholding the international rule of law.
高市早苗表示，日本将继续与华盛顿接触，同时支持国际刑事法院的工作。她说：“我们将继续与美国沟通，并向国际刑事法院提供必要的支持，以确保法院能够履行其最初设想的角色和职能。”
Takaichi said Japan would continue engaging Washington while supporting the ICC's work. "We will continue to reach out to the United States and extend necessary support to the ICC so that the Court can fulfill its role and functions as originally envisaged," she said.
