国际刑事法院院长指责特朗普政府试图通过对该法庭实施制裁来阻碍国际司法，并誓言此举不会得逞。
EDITH M. LEDERER UNITED NATIONS — The president of the International Criminal Court accused the Trump administration of trying to obstruct international justice by imposing penalties on the tribunal and vowed that it would not succeed.
日本籍法官赤根智子因美国制裁，于周一通过视频向联合国进行通报。她呼吁所有193个联合国成员国——而不仅仅是125个国际刑事法院成员国——“采取具体行动，单独或共同地捍卫法院”。特朗普政府已对国际刑事法院官员实施了一系列制裁，随后于上个月将制裁范围扩大至整个法院，这是其旨在瓦解该法庭运动的一部分，缘由是该法院对美国及其盟友（包括以色列）展开了调查。
Judge Tomoko Akane of Japan, briefing the United Nations remotely on Monday because of U.S. sanctions , called on all 193 U.N. member nations — not just the 125 countries that are part of the ICC — “to take concrete action, individually and collectively, in defense of the court.”President Donald Trump’s administration has imposed a series of sanctions on ICC officials and then targeted the entire court last month as part of its campaign to dismantle the tribunal over investigations into the United States and its allies, including Israel . Akane said her remote address to the U.N. General Assembly was a result of the “extraordinary” and “unprecedented” U.S. steps threatening judges, prosecutors and the ICC itself as an institution.
赤根智子表示，她远程向联合国大会发表讲话，是由于美国采取了“威胁法官、检察官以及国际刑事法院这一机构本身”的“非同寻常”且“前所未有”的措施。
She stressed the timing of the Trump administration announcing sweeping new sanctions on the court on Oct. 9.
她强调了特朗普政府于10月9日宣布对法院实施全面新制裁的时间点。那天正是诺贝尔和平奖颁发给南非法学家纳维·皮莱的日子，皮莱是国际刑事法院前法官，因其为促进和平和国际法所作的努力而获奖。
That was the day the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to South African jurist Navi Pillay, a former ICC judge, for her efforts to promote peace and international law. “The contrast could not be starker,” the ICC president said.
国际刑事法院院长说：“这种反差再鲜明不过了。一方面是全球对国际司法价值的认可，另一方面却是试图压制体现这一价值的机构。”国际刑事法院成立于2002年，旨在当国家不愿或无法起诉时，对战争罪、危害人类罪和种族灭绝罪进行追诉。美国不是该法院的缔约国。美国国务院对赤根智子的言论暂无即时置评。
“On the one hand, global recognition of the value of international justice, on the other, an attempt to subdue the institution that embodies it.”The ICC was set up in 2002 to prosecute war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide when countries are unwilling or unable to do so. The United States is not a party to the court. The State Department had no immediate comment on Akane’s remarks.
在宣布最新制裁时，国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥表示，美国“将禁止与这个流氓法庭进行交易，切断其资源，使其失去针对我们开展行动的能力。”
In announcing the latest sanctions, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. “will ban transactions with this rogue court, cutting off their resources and crippling its ability to operate against us.”
国际刑事法院院长周一反驳称：“让我明确指出：法院将继续充分履行其职权，保持独立和公正，仅依据法律和证据行事，为了无数严重罪行受害者的利益。”欧盟和其他支持者在联合国大会发言台上强力支持国际刑事法院及其为人类最严重罪行伸张正义的工作。
The ICC president countered Monday by saying, “Let me be clear: The court will continue to fully discharge its mandate with independence and impartiality, acting only on the basis of the law and the evidence, for the sake of the countless victims of grave crimes.”The European Union and other supporters stepped to the podium at the U.N. General Assembly to strongly support the ICC and its work seeking justice for humanity’s worst crimes.
