The ICC spokesman Fadi el-Abdullah says they are taking the allegations seriously, but that there must be a presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
无罪推定原则(英语:presumption of innocence),意指一个人在法院上应该先被假定为无罪,除非被证实及判决有罪。在许多国家的刑事诉讼中,无罪推定原则是所有被告都享有的法定权力,也是联合国国际公约确认和保护的基本人权。在这个原则下,提起公诉的检察官应负起举证责任,应负责收集足够的可靠证据,以证明被告在事实上的确有罪;这些证据必须符合法律限制,而且超越合理怀疑。

Presumption of innocence 无罪推定原则
The presumption of innocence, sometimes referred to by the Latin expression Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies), is the principle that one is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
