The Security Council’s decision to refer the situation in Darfur to the ICC prosecutor in March 2005 was itself a major milestone in the battle against impunity. That decision demonstrated, for the first time, that there was an institution that could investigate and prosecute the most serious international crimes regardless of where they occur.
安理会在2005年3月决定将达尔富尔局势提交国际刑事法院的检察官，这本身就是打击有罪不罚的现象的一个重要的里程碑。这一决定首次向世界昭示，无论最令人发指的国际罪行发生在哪里，有这样一个机构可以来进行调查和起诉。
