在本苏达检察官准备结束任期之际，美国赞扬她自第1970（2011）号决议通过以来努力调查并起诉应对针对利比亚人民犯下令人发指的暴行负责的那些人。首先，请允许我指出，拜登总统采取了重要和必要的步骤，解除此前对她及其同事法基索·莫乔乔科实施的制裁。这些制裁是不恰当的。正如美国国务卿布林肯所说，美国对国际刑事法院的关切将通过在刑事法院进程中与所有利益攸关方接触得到更好的解决。就我们而言，我们希望这能帮助我们重返美国和国际刑事法院合作的时代。毕竟，伸张正义、追究责任和实行法治是我们共同的价值观，我们相信，通过与世界其他地区的接触，这些价值观会得到推进。下面我要谈谈今天的主题——国际刑事法院对利比亚局势的调查。
As Prosecutor Bensouda prepares to end her term, the United States commends her efforts since the adoption of resolution 1970 (2011) to investigate and prosecute those responsible for the heinous atrocities committed against the Libyan people. Let me start by noting the important and necessary step that President Biden took in lifting the sanctions previously imposed on her and her colleague, Phakiso Mochochoko. Those sanctions were inappropriate. As United States Secretary of State Blinken said, the concerns of the United States with the ICC would be better addressed through engagement with all stakeholders in the ICC process. For our part, we hope this can help us return to a time of cooperation between the United States and the ICC. After all, justice, accountability and the rule of law are values we share, and we believe that they are advanced by engaging with the rest of the world.
