国际刑事法院(International Criminal Court)反对唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)总统实施的制裁，周五表示，此举有可能“侵蚀国际法治”，并呼吁建立统一战线。
在一份由79个国际刑事法院缔约国签署的声明中，包括英国、法国和德国等美国的亲密盟友，法院重申“继续坚定不移地支持国际刑事法院的独立性、公正性和完整性。”
“该法院通过确保对最严重的国际罪行追究责任，并为受害者伸张正义，成为国际司法体系的重要支柱，”法院表示。
特朗普周四签署了一项行政命令，对国际刑事法院实施制裁，声称该法院“参与了针对美国和我们的亲密盟友以色列的非法和毫无根据的行动。”
“美国将对国际刑事法院违法行为的责任人施加切实和重大的后果，其中一些可能包括冻结财产和资产，以及暂停国际刑事法院官员、雇员和代理人及其直系亲属进入美国，因为他们进入我们的国家将有损于美国的利益，”该命令说。
这些制裁很可能，至少部分是由于国际商会发布了一份逮捕证2024年5月，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡和时任国防部长约夫·格兰特。
内塔尼亚胡称，因涉嫌使加沙的巴勒斯坦人挨饿以及故意造成巨大痛苦和其他“不人道行为”而发出的反人类罪逮捕令是“荒谬的”和“暗杀”在一次采访中当时正在播放《早安美国》。
国际刑事法院反对宣布制裁，称这增加了“最严重罪行不受惩罚的风险，并有可能侵蚀对促进全球秩序和安全至关重要的国际法治。”
“今天，法院面临前所未有的挑战。国际刑事法院表示:“为了回应国际刑事法院根据《罗马规约》执行其任务，已经采取了制裁国际刑事法院、其官员和工作人员以及与国际刑事法院合作者的措施。”。
“制裁将严重破坏目前正在调查的所有情况，因为法院可能不得不关闭其外地办事处。推进国际刑事法院的重要工作符合我们在促进问责制方面的共同利益，缔约国和非缔约国向法院提供的支持就证明了这一点，”国际刑事法院说。
普林斯顿大学(Princeton University)专注于国际法的国际事务教授金·舍佩尔(Kim Scheppele)表示，这些制裁可能会阻碍法院的运作，危及工作人员，从而“扼杀法院”。
“美国对如此多的州拥有如此大的控制权，从这个意义上来说，尤其是现在特朗普正在(发起)公开抨击。...在这些威胁之后，这些国家不太可能试图让美国陷入刑事诉讼，”Scheppele告诉ABC新闻。
“如果我们的盟友，我们的朋友，决定试图修改罗马规约，以纳入美国的行为，这可能会遇到相当强力的抵制，”Scheppele说。
Trump sanctions against ICC could 'erode international rule of law,' court warns
The International Criminal Court pushed back against sanctions levied by President Donald Trump, saying Friday the move threatens to "erode international rule of law," and calling for a united front.
In a statement endorsed by 79 states that are party to the ICC -- including close allies to the U.S. like the United Kingdom, France and Germany -- the court reaffirmed its "continued and unwavering support for the independence, impartiality, and integrity of the ICC."
"The Court serves as a vital pillar of the international justice system by ensuring accountability for the most serious international crimes, and justice for victims," the court said.
Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to impose sanctions on the ICC, claiming the court has "engaged in illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel."
"The United States will impose tangible and significant consequences on those responsible for the ICC's transgressions, some of which may include the blocking of property and assets, as well as the suspension of entry into the United States of ICC officials, employees, and agents, as well as their immediate family members, as their entry into our Nation would be detrimental to the interests of the United States," the order said.
The sanctions were likely spurred, at least in part, by the ICC issuing anarrest warrantfor Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in May 2024.
Netanyahu referred to the warrant for alleged crimes against humanity -- issued for alleged starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, as well as willfully causing great suffering and other "inhumane acts" -- as "absurd" and a "hit job"in an interviewwith "Good Morning America" at the time.
The ICC pushed back against the announcement of sanctions, saying it increases the "risk of impunity for the most serious crimes and threaten to erode the international rule of law which is crucial for promoting global order and security."
"Today, the Court is facing unprecedented challenges. Measures sanctioning the Court, its officials and staff, and those cooperating with it have been adopted in response to the Court carrying out its mandate in accordance with the Rome Statute," the ICC said.
"Sanctions would severely undermine all situations currently under investigation as the Court may have to close its field offices. Advancing the ICC’s vital work serves our common interest in promoting accountability, as evidenced by the support provided to the Court by both States Parties and non-States Parties," the ICC said.
The sanctions could have the potential to "kill the court" by impeding its operations and endangering staff, according to Kim Scheppele, an international affairs professor at Princeton University who focuses on international law.
"The U.S. has such a grip on so many states, in the sense that, especially now that Trump is [launching an] opening salvo. ... These states are unlikely to try and ensnare the U.S. in a criminal proceeding after these threats," Scheppele told ABC News.
"If allies, friends of ours, decide to try to amend the Rome Statute to include U.S. behavior, it will probably be met with pretty brute force pushback," Scheppele said.
