塞拉利昂问题特别法庭,像其他所有现有的特设国际法庭一样,起诉战争罪和危害人类罪。
Like the other ad hoc Tribunals currently in existence, the Special Court prosecutes war crimes and crimes against humanity.
然而,这一法庭的独特之处在于,它还起诉了其所有被告征召15岁以下儿童参与敌对行动的罪行。
Uniquely, however, this Court has also prosecuted all its indictees for the enlisting of children under the age of 15 to participate in hostilities.
值得注意的是,在前南斯拉夫问题特别法庭和卢旺达问题特别法庭判例的基础上,塞拉利昂问题特别法庭又有建树,正视那种犯有基于性别的罪行而不受惩罚的传统,起诉诸如强迫婚姻等犯罪并承认在这次冲突期间主要针对妇女和女童的性犯罪具有独特性质。
Notably, building on the jurisprudence of the ad hoc tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the Special Court has confronted the tradition of impunity for gender-based crimes, prosecuting offences such as forced marriage and recognizing the unique nature of the sexual crimes perpetrated primarily against women and girl children during this conflict.
按照国际法,把性奴役明确作为危害人类罪起诉,这是第一次。
For the first time, sexual slavery as a crime against humanity is being expressly prosecuted under international law.

真正令人叹为观止的是,外联科是如何获得塞拉利昂和邻近区域广大公众的支持的。
It is truly remarkable how the Section has enlisted the support of the general public in Sierra Leone and the neighbouring region.
外联科卓有成效地在基层传播有关该特别法庭审理案件的信息,提供有关在恢复和平中运用法治基本价值的可获信息。
The Section effectively disseminates information about the trials before the Special Court at the grass-roots level, providing accessible information on the application of the basic values of the rule of law in the restoration of peace.
塞拉利昂问题特别法庭与其他国际法庭一起,让今后各代人看到希望:法治可以在各国普通百姓的事务中占上风;凡是行为触犯人类良心的人,都不应该任其逍遥法外。
The Special Court has joined other international tribunals in offering hope to future generations — a hope that the rule of law may prevail in the affairs of men and women of all nations and that those whose deeds offend the conscience of mankind shall not go unpunished.

今天塞拉利昂问题特别法庭具体寻求国际社会通过资助给予援助。
