The International Criminal Court has cleared the way for the trial of four prominent Kenyans accused of crimes against humanity. The four suspects had challenged the court's jurisdiction to try them for allegedly orchestrating post-election violence in 2008 in which more than 1000 people were killed. Anna Holligan reports from the Hague.

国际刑事法庭（ICC）已清除障碍，将审判被指控以反人类罪的四个肯尼亚名人。四名嫌疑人被指控于2008年策划了选举后的暴力活动，他们已对法庭的审判权发起挑战。安娜·霍利甘在海牙报道。

The Kenyan defence lawyers claimed that the ICC prosecutors were wrong to describe organizational policy as a crime against humanity. On that basis, they argued that the trial should be held in Kenya rather than at the Hague. The four accused are deputy prime minister Uhuru Kenyatta, the former head of the civil service Francis Muthaura, another member of parliaments and a radio presenter. This ruling means the proceedings will continue and there will be hearings in just over two weeks time. The suspects are not required to appear at these hearings in person, but will be forced to come to the Hague when the trials begin.

肯尼亚辩护律师称ICC检方将组织政策视为反人类罪是错误的。在这个基础上，他们称应在肯尼亚进行审判而不该在海牙。四名被告是副总理乌呼鲁·肯雅塔、前文官长弗朗西斯·穆萨乌拉、另外一名议员和一名电台主播。裁定意味着审判将继续进行，两周内将进行听审。嫌犯无需本人参加听审，但审判开始时必须到达海牙。
