Contractors in Iraq could face charges in earlier incidents承包商在伊拉克可能面臨的指控在以前的事件 Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 星期六, 2008年一十一月22號
By Nancy A. Youssef | WASHINGTON — Private security contractors operating in Iraq could face Iraqi prosecution for acts committed when they supposedly had immunity from Iraqi law, US officials said Thursday.由南希字母a.優素福|華盛頓-私營保安承包商在伊拉克可能面臨起訴伊拉克的行為時,他們理應有免於伊拉克法律,美國官員今天說。 A new US-Iraq security agreement doesn’t specifically prevent Iraqi officials from bringing criminal charges retroactively in cases such as the September 2007 shooting deaths of 17 Iraqi civilians by contractors protecting a State Department convoy, officials told security company officials during meetings in Washington Thursday.一種新的美伊安全協議沒有具體防止伊拉克官員攜帶追溯刑事指控的情況下,如2007年9月拍攝的17人死亡伊拉克平民承包商保護車隊的美國國務院官員說保安公司的官員在會議期間在華盛頓星期四。 The news caught company officials by surprise.這一消息被公司官員感到吃驚。 “We are still trying to make sense of it,” said Anne E. Tyrrell, a spokeswoman for Blackwater Inc., whose security guards have been involved in some of the most controversial incidents in Iraq, including the Sept. 16, 2007, shooting at al Nisoor Square in Baghdad. “我們仍在試圖理解它說, ”安妮體育泰瑞爾的一位發言人黑水公司的保安人員已參與的一些最有爭議的事件在伊拉克,包括二○○七年9月16日,射擊在al Nisoor廣場在巴格達。 An order signed in 2003 by L. Paul Bremer, then head of the Coalition Provisional Authority that governed Iraq, granted private security guards immunity from prosecution under Iraqi law.簽署的命令於2003年由保羅布雷默,然後頭聯軍臨時權力機構管轄伊拉克,授予私人警衛免於起訴根據伊拉克法律。 In the ensuing years, private security contractors became critical to US operations in Iraq, guarding State Department convoys and undertaking other critical military missions.在隨後的幾年,私營保安承包商成為至關重要的美國在伊拉克的行動,保衛美國國務院車隊和開展其他重要軍事任務。 Contractors were often involved in controversial incidents, including the killing of a bodyguard to Iraqi Vice President Adil Abdel Mahdi.承包商往往涉及爭議的事件,包括殺害了一名保鏢伊拉克副總統阿迪勒阿卜杜勒邁赫迪。 Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki insisted that they be accountable to Iraqi law under the new security deal.伊拉克總理馬利基堅持認為,他們負責根據伊拉克法律的新的安全協議。 But the question of whether Iraqis could use the agreement to prosecute contractors for previous incidents wasn’t addressed in the new agreement.但問題是否可以使用伊拉克人的協議起訴承包商以往事件中沒有涉及新的協議。 When security company officials asked Thursday, “We told them that’sa question we don’t know the answer to,” said a State Department official, who spoke to reporters about the meetings under the condition of anonymity.當保安公司官員週四問道, “我們告訴他們,這是一個問題,我們不知道的答案說, ”美國國務院官員,誰向記者有關會議的情況下不願透露姓名。 A Defense Department official who also participated in the briefing under the condition of anonymity added that many contractors are taking a “wait-and-see attitude.”一位國防部官員誰也參加了通報的情況下不願透露姓名的補充說,許多承包商採取“觀望態度” 。 The State Department official said he couldn’t comment on whether the matter had been raised in discussions with the Iraqis, but said the US will bring the contractors’ concerns to them.美國國務院官員說,他不能評論此事是否已經提出在商談合作的伊拉克人,但他表示,美國將承辦商的關注他們。 He also said US officials didn’t know how the agreement would affect the ability of American civilian officials to move around Iraq.他還表示,美國官員不知道該協定將影響到美國文職官員走動伊拉克。 State Department employees currently are protected almost exclusively by private security guards as they travel away from the US Embassy.國務院員工目前的保護幾乎完全由私人警衛因為他們的旅行距離美國使館。 However, the agreement addresses only security contractors working with US military forces.然而,該協議只涉及安全工作的承包商與美國的軍事部隊。 We are in “diplomatic engagement with the Iraqis” on the matter, the State Department official said.我們正處在“外交接觸與伊拉克人”關於這個問題,美國國務院官員說。 The failure of the agreement to clarify issues about security contractors comes as some military officials have questioned whether the agreement doesn’t give Iraq more control of US military activities than US officials had contemplated when they began negotiating the agreement last spring.失敗的協議,以澄清有關安全問題的承包商是一些軍事官員曾質疑是否該協議並沒有給伊拉克更多的控制權,美國的軍事活動,而不是美國官員曾設想時,他們開始談判的協議去年春天。 US officials have told McClatchy that the Bush administration was eager to complete the deal before it leaves office in January and acquiesced to many Iraqi demands, including deleting sections that would have allowed the Americans to delay their departure if security conditions deteriorated.美國官員曾告訴麥克拉奇,布什政府急於完成交易之前離開辦公室在1月和默許了許多伊拉克的要求,包括刪去部分,將允許美國人毫不拖延地離開,如果安全條件惡化。 Currently, the agreement requires all US forces to be out of Iraq by the end of 2011.目前,該協議要求所有美國軍隊必須撤出伊拉克的到2011年底。 The US hasn’t released an English-language version of the agreement, but the Arabic version distributed by the Iraqis calls the accord a “withdrawal agreement.”美國還沒有發行英文版本的協議,但阿拉伯文版散發的呼籲伊拉克人的協議是“退出協議。 ” As part of the accord, which US and Iraqi officials signed in Baghdad on Monday, effective Jan. 1, the US cannot conduct missions without approval from the Iraqi government.作為這項協議,其中美國和伊拉克官員在巴格達簽署星期一,有效1月1日起,美國不能進行任務從未經批准的伊拉克政府。 Iraq also will assume control of the US-fortified Green Zone in Baghdad and of the nation’s airspace on Jan. 1.伊拉克也將承擔控制的美國森嚴的綠區在巴格達和國家的領空1月1日。 Representatives of 172 contracting companies were invited to Thursday’s briefings on the agreement.代表172個承包公司被邀請週四的簡報協議。 The companies provide a wide array of services, such as security and laundry, and their 173,000 employees outnumber the 150,000 US military personnel now in Iraq.該公司提供各種各樣的服務,如安全和洗衣店,和他們的僱員人數超過17.3萬的150000美軍人員在伊拉克的現在。 Have Your Say: Contractors in Iraq could face charges in earlier incidents 你說:承包商在伊拉克可能面臨的指控在以前的事件 Please read our請仔細閱讀我們的 posting guidelines before posting張貼在發布前的指導方針 . 。 Alternatively或者 you can discuss this report here你可以討論這份報告在這裡 . 。 Related News 相關新聞
