Suspending the ICC’s work in this way would undermine its potential for deterrence, one of the purposes for which it was established. Postponing the case against al-Bashir would seriously undercut the important principle – which has gradually been taking root worldwide – that no one is above the law.
以这种方式中止国际刑事法院的工作，会削弱法院的威慑力量，这种威慑力就是该法院成立的目的之一。推迟对巴希尔案件的审理，将严重损害在世界范围已逐渐深入人心的一条重要原则，即任何人都不能凌驾于法律之上。
