法國說俄羅斯可能面臨在敘利亞的戰爭罪指控

France says Russia could face war crimes charges over its bombing campaign of Syria's eastern city of Aleppo.

法國說，俄羅斯對於敘利亞城市阿勒頗的轟炸可能使俄羅斯面臨戰爭罪指控。

French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said Monday that the bombings are war crimes.

法國外長讓－馬克∙埃羅星期一表示，轟炸行動構成了戰爭罪。

Ayrault said France would consult with prosecutors from the International Criminal Court (ICC) to see how to launch investigations.

他說，法國將與國際刑事法庭檢察官協商，探討如何就此展開調查。

"We do not agree with what Russia is doing, bombarding Aleppo. France is committed as never before to saving the population of Aleppo," Ayrault said.

讓－馬克∙埃羅說：“我們反對俄羅斯轟炸阿勒頗的行爲。法國堅定地致力於挽救阿勒頗民衆的生命。”

Moscow has repeatedly denied attacking civilians in Syria, and says it targets terrorist groups.

莫斯科一再否認對敘利亞平民發動襲擊，聲稱轟炸目標是恐怖組織。

It is not clear how the ICC could investigate the bombings in Aleppo because neither Russia nor Syria is a member of the International Criminal Court. The matter could be referred to the court by the U.N. Security Council, but the council has been deadlocked over Syria.

目前還不清楚國際刑事法庭將如何對阿勒頗的轟炸行動展開調查，因爲俄羅斯和敘利亞都不是該法庭的成員國。這個問題可以由聯合國安理會提交給法庭，但目前安理會在敘利亞問題上處於僵局。
