Abstract

Less than a week after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) announced that it was opening an investigation into whether war crimes had been committed. The fact that the Russian armed forces in Ukraine are operating within a clearly defined chain of command leading to the Kremlin removes one important obstacle to a prosecution that has served as a stumbling block in other investigations by the court. The chief prosecutor will probably attempt to indict senior Russian officials on charges of war crimes or crimes against humanity by the end of 2022, but at that point the ICC would face a familiar problem: there is no mechanism to compel Russia to extradite suspects so that they may be brought to trial.

国际刑事法院在乌克兰的调查
2022年2月俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后不到一周,国际刑事法院(ICC)首席检察官宣布,将对是否犯下战争罪展开调查。俄罗斯驻乌克兰武装部队在通往克里姆林宫的明确指挥链内运作,这一事实消除了起诉的一个重要障碍,而起诉一直是法院其他调查的绊脚石。首席检察官可能会试图在2022年底前以战争罪或反人类罪起诉俄罗斯高级官员,但届时国际刑事法院将面临一个熟悉的问题:没有机制迫使俄罗斯引渡嫌疑人,以便对他们进行审判。
