“要么国际刑事法院停止发出威胁，要么我们就取缔这个法院，”美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥周五在美国对国际刑事法院实施制裁时说道。“我们将禁止与这个非法法院进行任何交易，切断其资金来源。”这一举措完全合情合理。
‘Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday as the U.S. sanctioned the International Criminal Court. “We will ban transactions with this rogue court, cutting off their resources.”The action is amply merited.
实现全球正义的愿景固然崇高，上世纪90年代设立全球法院的设想也出于善意。但即便在那时，共和党和民主党都意识到，让外国法官取代美国司法体系的作用绝非良策。美国军人和领导人理应由美国司法体系来裁决。这就是所谓的自治原则。
The dream of global justice is noble, and plans for a global court in the 1990s often came with the best of intentions. But even then, Republicans and Democrats recognized that letting foreign judges usurp the role of U.S. courts wouldn’t end well. U.S. soldiers and leaders should answer to America’s judicial system. It’s called self-government.
