Statement by the High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein on the Occasion of Human Rights Day 联合国人权事务高级专员扎伊德·拉阿德·侯赛因人权日致辞 10 December 2016 2016年12月10日 Today’s events in the world make many among us anxious – even fearful. We see human beings in pain. Decent values under attack. Messages of hatred and intolerance – divisive visions of the world which drive increasing selfishness. Isolation. Scapegoating. Violence. 当今世界上发生的事件让我们许多人焦虑不安——甚至恐惧。我们看到人类遭受痛苦。体面的价值观遭受攻击。仇恨和不容忍的信息——分裂的世界观助长了自私。孤立。寻找替罪羊。暴力。 And in this toxic tide of hatred which is slowly rising in many societies, some of the deepest, most essential principles which safeguard peaceful societies risk being swept away. 在这种有害的、并且正在许多社会逐步上涨的仇恨浪潮中,某些维护着和平社会的昀深刻、昀基本原则可能被冲刷殆尽。 We need to stop this. And I believe we can. We – you and I – can draw the line. 我们需要制止这一势头。我相信我们可以做到。我们——你我每一个人——能够划清界限。 We don’t have to stand by when the haters drive wedges of hostility between communities. We can build bridges. We can raise our voices. |
