联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯周一呼吁采取“具体措施”，以应对奴隶制、殖民主义和种族歧视所带来的长期后果。
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday called for “concrete measures” to address the enduring consequences of slavery, colonialism and racial discrimination.
古特雷斯表示：“世界必须通过具体行动，依据国际人权法来纠正这些历史遗留问题，实现公正与赔偿。”
“The world must confront the enduring consequences of slavery, colonialism, and racial discrimination through concrete measures to deliver reparatory justice grounded in international human rights law,” Guterres said.
在纪念《德班宣言和行动纲领》25周年的联合国高层会议上，古特雷斯指出种族歧视表现为多种形式，包括不平等现象、歧视性法律与制度，以及人们对人们权利和平等机会的剥夺。
Addressing a high-level UN meeting marking the 25th anniversary of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, Guterres said racial discrimination takes many forms, including inequalities, discriminatory laws and institutions, and the denial of rights and equal opportunities.
他警告称，数字技术正在加剧仇恨言论和虚假信息的传播，从而延续“谎言与有害的刻板印象”，并助长暴力和虐待行为。“解决这些问题的关键在于团结与实际行动，”古特雷斯强调。
He also warned that digital technologies are amplifying hate speech and disinformation, perpetuating “lies and harmful stereotypes” and fueling violence and abuse. “The antidote to these poisons is unity and tangible action,” he said.
他敦促各国加强并执行反歧视法律，消除系统性歧视，并投资于建设包容性社会；同时呼吁科技公司识别并纠正人工智能系统中的偏见，确保数字技术能够促进平等与包容。
Guterres urged governments to strengthen and implement anti-discrimination laws, dismantle systemic discrimination and invest in inclusive societies. He called on technology companies to identify and address bias in artificial intelligence systems and ensure digital technologies promote equality and inclusion.
古特雷斯还希望各国能将“第二个非洲裔人民国际十年”变成一个真正带来变革的十年，并呼吁各国普遍批准并全面实施《消除一切形式种族歧视国际公约》。
Guterres also urged countries to make the second International Decade for People of African Descent “a decade of concrete change” and called for universal ratification and full implementation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
美国抵制了此次纪念活动。美国负责联合国事务的驻联合国大使杰夫·巴托斯表示，华盛顿不会参与这场被其称为“充满负面影响的会议”。巴托斯还敦促其他国家拒绝接受该会议所体现的反美和反西方立场。美国曾退出2001年在德班举行的世界反种族主义大会。
The United States is boycotting the commemoration, with its UN ambassador for management and reform, Jeff Bartos, saying Washington would not participate in what he described as the Durban conference’s “poisonous legacy.” Bartos also urged other countries to reject what he called the conference's anti-American and anti-Western legacy. The US withdrew from the 2001 World Conference Against Racism in Durban.
巴托斯表示，华盛顿的决定与美国对该会议对待以色列及西方国家的方式的看法有关。
Bartos said Washington's decision was linked to what the US viewed as the conference's treatment of Israel and Western countries.
