NEW YORK – In a way, the stir aroused by the decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to indict Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur is a surprise. After all, the Court has no means of its own to arrest anyone in Sudan, much less a head of state who commands the country’s armed forces.
纽约—在某种程度上，国际法院(ICC)以在达尔富尔犯下的战争罪和反人类罪起诉苏丹总统巴希尔所造成的哗然令人意外。毕竟，国际法院自身无法在苏丹逮捕任何人，更不用说统领该国军队的国家元首。第三方介入在苏丹执行逮捕的情况也不可能发生。尽管ICC的总检察官Luis Moreno-Ocampo表示有信心将巴希尔绳之以法，但究竟如何操作还是个未知数。但可能性还是存在的。
