Message from Ms. Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, on the Occasion of the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists 教科文组织总干事伊琳娜·博科娃女士在终结侵害记者的犯罪不受惩罚现象国际日的致辞 2 November 2016 2016年11月2日 Impunity breeds impunity. This is injustice for all. 有罪不罚滋生有罪不罚。这是对世人的不公。 Since 2006, UNESCO has condemned the killing of more than 800 journalists. Less than 7% of these crimes committed have been solved. 自2006年以来,教科文组织谴责过800多名记者遇害。其中已得到惩处的罪行不足7%。 In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever effects one directly affects all indirectly.” 1963年,马丁·路德·金写道:“世上任何一地的不公正都是对普世公正的一种威胁。人类处在难以挣脱的相依相存之网中,共同的命运将我们牢牢捆绑在一起。无论有什么直接发生在某一个体身上,都会间接影响到人类整体”。 Impunity is a crime against the exercise of freedom of expression and human rights more broadly. It emboldens the perpetrators of crimes, it threatens the rule of law, and it leads to fear and self-censorship. All society suffers. |
