今年的诺贝尔和平奖得主、法官兼前联合国人权事务负责人纳维·皮莱在10月10日星期六表示，美国对国际刑事法院（ICC）宣布的制裁是“前所未有的”和“不可接受的”。
The winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, judge and former United Nations rights chief Navi Pillay, called sanctions announced by the United States on the International Criminal Court (ICC) "unheard of" and "unacceptable" on Saturday, October 10.
“人们对国际法院的持续存在，尤其是位于海牙的国际刑事法院，充满了紧张和焦虑，”皮莱通过视频连线在奥斯陆诺贝尔和平中心的活动中从纽伦堡表示。“最重要的是，一个国家对法官宣布制裁，仅仅因为他们发布的司法裁决。这前所未有，不可接受，”这位85岁的南非律师说道。
"There is so much tension and anxiety over the continued existence of international courts, mainly the International Criminal Court in The Hague," Pillay said via video link from Nuremberg during an event at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo. "Most importantly, sanctions have been announced by one country against the judges, just for the judicial orders they issue. This is unheard of, unacceptable," the 85-year-old South African lawyer said.
挪威诺贝尔委员会周五宣布，曾在国际刑事法院任职的皮莱是今年享有盛誉的诺贝尔和平奖得主。美国及其领导人唐纳德·特朗普长期垂涎该奖项，以及盟国以色列都谴责她获得此项荣誉。“历史将会评判。”
The Norwegian Nobel Committee on Friday announced that Pillay, who once sat on the ICC, was this year's recipient of the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize. Both the US, whose leader Donald Trump has long coveted the award for himself, and ally Israel condemned her being awarded the honor. 'History will judge'
皮莱被命名为获奖者几小时后，美国宣布对国际刑事法院实施新制裁，引起成员国和联合国的迅速谴责。法院在一份声明中表示，美国的制裁是对国际法的攻击，并警告称：“历史将审判这一刻。”
Hours after Pillay was named the laureate, the US announced new sanctions against the ICC, provoking swift condemnation from member states and the UN. The court rejected the US sanctions as an attack on international law and warned in a statement that "history will judge this moment."
除了在国际刑事法院任职外，皮莱还曾于2008年至2014年担任联合国人权事务高级专员，并领导联合国独立国际调查委员会（COI），该委员会去年发现加沙正在发生种族灭绝。该机构不代表联合国发表言论。以色列已拒绝该委员会的调查结果，称其为“扭曲和虚假”。
In addition to serving on the ICC, Pillay was the UN human rights high commissioner from 2008 to 2014 and she headed the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry (COI), which found last year that genocide was occurring in Gaza. The body does not speak on behalf of the UN. Israel has rejected the COI's findings, calling them "distorted and false."
以色列外交部表示，该奖项使“反以色列仇恨”得以正当化，并补充说，他们认为纳粹宣传家约瑟夫·戈培尔必定“正从地狱中鼓掌”。以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡表示，将奖项授予皮莱表明诺贝尔委员会通过表彰“一个偏执狂”已经“失去了道德指南针”。特朗普上个月曾呼吁国际刑事法院成员国退出法院，与此同时，他将委员会的选择称为“可耻且令人尴尬的决定”，并在纽约锡拉丘兹向其支持者集会发表讲话时表示，他“从未听说过”皮莱。
Israel's foreign ministry said the award legitimized "anti-Israel hatred," adding that it thought that Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels must be "applauding from hell." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the awarding of the prize to Pillay showed the Nobel committee had "lost its moral compass" by honoring "a bigot." Trump, who last month called on ICC member states to quit the court, meanwhile labelled the committee's choice as "a disgraceful and embarrassing decision," telling a rally of his supporters in Syracuse, New York, he had "never heard of" Pillay.
