欧盟外交政策负责人卡娅·卡拉斯周一表示,欧盟有办法确保国际刑事法院(ICC)在美国对该法院采取行动期间能够继续开展工作。
The EU has options to ensure the International Criminal Court (ICC) can continue its work amid US measures against the court, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Monday.
“在美国的措施生效前的六个月提供了一个对话窗口,”卡拉斯在欧盟外长会议后的新闻发布会上表示。
“The six-month period before the US measures take effect offers a window of dialogue,” Kallas said at a news conference following a meeting of EU foreign ministers.
“欧盟有办法确保法院能够继续开展其重要工作,”她说,并补充说,成员国正在认真考虑保护该法院。卡拉斯还谈到了俄罗斯参与国际体育和文化活动的问题。“体育和文化不应成为洗白俄罗斯侵略行为的工具,”她说。
“The EU has options to ensure that the court can continue its vital work,” she said, adding that member states were serious about protecting the court. Kallas also addressed Russia’s participation in international sports and cultural events. “Sports and culture must not become vehicles for whitewashing Russian aggression,” she said.
“我的服务部门将与委员会一起提出方案,说明如何在全球体育领域维持对俄罗斯的孤立,”她补充道。
“My services, together with the Commission, will put forward proposals on how to sustain Russia's isolation in global sports,” she added.
在谈到欧美在对俄制裁方面的合作时,卡拉斯表示,联合行动将产生更大影响。“如果我们能够与美国联合行动,效果将会更强,”她说。
On cooperation with the US over sanctions against Russia, Kallas said joint action would have a greater impact. “It would be much stronger if we would act together with the US,” she said.
“每次我们与美国、英国或其他志同道合的伙伴合作时,制裁的效果就会更大,”她补充道。
“Every time we are together with the US, UK, or other like-minded partners, the sanctions have much bigger effect,” she added.
卡拉斯表示,欧盟希望由参议员林赛·格雷厄姆提出的美国法案能够付诸实施,“最终施压俄罗斯停止这场战争。”谈到海上安全时,卡拉斯谴责了胡塞武装对利雅得机场的袭击。
Kallas said the EU hoped a US bill introduced by Sen. Lindsey Graham would be put into action “to finally pressure Russia to stop this war.”Turning to maritime security, Kallas condemned Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport.
“胡塞武装对利雅得机场的袭击是令人震惊的恐怖行为。对民用基础设施的无差别攻击没有任何理由可言,”她说。“保持红海通畅符合欧洲的战略利益,”她补充道。
“The Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport were appalling acts of terror. There can be no justification for indiscriminate attacks on civilian infrastructure,” she said. “Keeping the Red Sea open is in Europe's strategic interest,” she added.
“国际水域是我们经济的命脉,必须向所有人开放,而不仅仅是那些能够付费的人,”卡拉斯说,并指出已有超过60个国家承诺反对在国际航运航线上征收过路费和费用。
“International waters, the arteries of our economy must remain open to everyone, not whoever can pay,” Kallas said, noting that more than 60 countries had pledged to oppose tolls and fees on international shipping routes.
这些言论发表之际,欧盟外长们通过了近1600项新的制裁名单,目标是针对俄罗斯的军工复合体。
The remarks came as EU foreign ministers adopted nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex.
卡拉斯将该措施描述为自2022年2月俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰以来,欧盟制裁名单的最大单次扩张。她说,超过一半的列入名单针对的是弹道导弹的生产链。
Kallas described the measure as the largest single expansion of the EU’s sanctions list since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. More than half of the listings target the production chain for ballistic missiles, she said.
