國際法院 塞族和克族均未犯種族滅絕罪
The top U.N. court ruled Tuesday that neither Croatia nor Serbia committed genocide during the 1990s Balkan wars, when Croatia broke away from Yugoslavia.
國際刑事法院星期二對塞爾維亞人和克羅地亞人據稱在20世紀90年代巴爾幹戰爭中犯有暴行的起訴做出裁決說， 雙方都沒有犯下種族滅絕罪行。克羅地亞在那次衝突中脫離南斯拉夫而獨立。According to a ruling read by Judge Peter Tomka of the International Court of Justice, many crimes had been committed by the two countries' forces but both sides failed to prove the other committed genocide during the conflict, which killed over 20,000 people.
國際刑事法院法官彼得•湯姆卡宣佈說，兩國軍隊犯有諸多罪行，但雙方都未能證實對方犯有種族滅絕罪。克羅地亞衝突造成2萬多人死亡。
Croatia accused Serbia of committing ethnic cleansing and genocide in the city of Vukovar and other areas in 1991. Serbia later filed a counter suit over the expulsion of Serbs from Croatia in 1995.
克羅地亞指控塞爾維亞人1991年在武科瓦爾市等地進行種族屠殺。塞爾維亞人後來指控克羅地亞人1995年將塞族人趕出克羅地亞。
Both countries have said they will accept the ruling of the ICJ, which is meant to settle disputes between states. But there is concern that the ruling may spark political tensions.
目前雙方都表示接受爲解決國家間爭執而設立的國際刑事法院的裁決，但也有人擔心這項裁決可能會引發政治緊張局勢。
