美国启动“拆除”国际刑事法院全球行动,施压盟友退出
华盛顿以“主权威胁”为由,要求各国拒绝ICC管辖权,否则面临援助审查,此举或重塑国际司法合作格局。
美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥于7月13日宣布,美国政府已启动一场旨在“系统性瘫痪”国际刑事法院(ICC)的全面行动,包括对ICC官员及其关联组织实施签证限制、旅行禁令和扩大制裁,并以外交手段施压各国退出《罗马规约》。美国国务院声明称,ICC“对美国主权构成不可容忍的威胁”,因其声称有权起诉甚至监禁执行美国国家利益的军人和官员。鲁比奥在《华尔街日报》撰文及视频讲话中指责ICC已从“有限的后备机制”演变为“由未经选举的全球主义官僚把持的全球法庭”,并称将“在必要时一砖一瓦地拆除”该机构。
美方立场根植于其长期拒绝接受ICC管辖的历史。美国从未批准《罗马规约》,国会两党曾通过《美国军人保护法》授权总统使用一切必要手段阻止美国公民被ICC逮捕或审判。华盛顿方面特别指出,ICC在2020年对美军在阿富汗涉嫌战争罪行的调查,以及近期对以色列总理内塔尼亚胡等官员发出逮捕令,是越权行为。美国国务院匿名官员对路透社表示,那些依赖美国安全援助却拒绝否定ICC“虚假权威”的国家“可能面临更严格的审查”,并强调“没有任何外交选项会被排除”。
国际社会反应呈现明显分化。ICC发言人现阶段拒绝置评,但三名遭美国制裁的ICC法官已在纽约提起诉讼,指控制裁旨在施加“法外压力”。欧洲多国作为ICC主要支持方,尚未公开回应,但此前曾批评美国制裁破坏国际法治。与此同时,匈牙利、布基纳法索、马里和尼日尔等国已宣布退出ICC,称其为“新殖民主义镇压工具”。在亚洲,日本、韩国等美国盟友是ICC成员国,可能面临选边压力;而中国、印度、俄罗斯等大国均非缔约国,北京历来对ICC持谨慎态度,强调主权豁免原则,但未必公开支持拆解该机构。
此举若全面推行,将严重削弱ICC对战争罪、危害人类罪等暴行的追责能力,并可能引发国际司法体系的碎片化。美国正通过国务卿、副国务卿及驻外使节向各国政府发起外交攻势,要求其退出ICC并切断资金支持。目前,这场以“主权国家高于全球主义”为口号的行动尚处初期阶段,各国如何权衡安全依赖与多边承诺,将决定ICC的未来运作空间。
