新加坡：新加坡于周一（9月28日）支持了其他联合国成员国提出的建议，旨在加强对外籍劳工的保护，并改善儿童心理健康支持。这是该国最新一次人权记录审查的一部分。
SINGAPORE: Singapore supported recommendations from other United Nations member states on Monday (Sep 28) to strengthen migrant worker protections and improve mental health support for children, as part of its latest review of the country's human rights record.
新加坡还支持了呼吁考虑批准涵盖外籍劳工和家庭佣人的国际公约、确保新技术符合人权标准，以及将弱势群体纳入气候变化政策的建议。
It also supported calls to consider ratifying international conventions covering migrant and domestic workers, ensure new technologies comply with human rights standards, and include vulnerable groups in climate change policies.
这些承诺是新加坡在第四次普遍定期审议后支持的243项建议中的一部分。普遍定期审议是联合国的一项机制，每四年半审查一次每个成员国的人权记录。
The commitments are among 243 recommendations Singapore supported following its fourth Universal Periodic Review, a UN mechanism that reviews each member state's human rights record every four-and-a-half years.
这些建议占新加坡收到的342项建议的约71%，高于2021年上一次审查时的65%。
They account for about 71 per cent of the 342 recommendations Singapore received, up from 65 per cent during its previous review in 2021.
新加坡常驻日内瓦联合国代表贾亚·拉特南先生表示，该国将这一过程视为坦诚对话的平台，并以开放的心态对待。
Singapore's permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Mr Jaya Ratnam, said the country viewed the process as a platform for frank dialogue and approached it with an open mind.
他在日内瓦通过新加坡普遍定期审议报告时表示：“我们对待人权的方法基于一个简单的原则：进步应始终通过为人民带来的切实成果来衡量。”
"Our approach to human rights rests on a simple premise: progress should always be measured by tangible outcomes for our people," he said at the adoption of Singapore's Universal Periodic Review report in Geneva.
拉特南补充说，新加坡支持那些与其建设更具包容性、凝聚力和韧性的社会的努力相补充的建议，并列举了教育、公共医疗、对低收入群体的支持、外籍劳工福利、劳工权利和数字包容等领域。
Singapore supported recommendations that complemented its efforts to build a more inclusive, cohesive and resilient society, Mr Ratnam added, citing education, public healthcare, support for lower-income groups, migrant worker welfare, labour rights and digital inclusion.
他表示，该国的方法建立在两个支柱之上——务实主义和法治——各国将根据自身情况采取不同的路径来推进人权。
He said the country's approach rested on two pillars – pragmatism and the rule of law – and that countries would take different paths to advancing human rights based on their circumstances.
他说：“重要的是，这些方法是否能为其人民带来有意义的进步。”
"What matters is whether these approaches deliver meaningful progress for their people," he said.
家政工人 在新加坡支持的更具体建议中，包括英国提出的一项建议，即强制规定休息时间，并为外籍家政工人建立数字化的招聘和工资支付流程。
DOMESTIC WORKERS Among the more specific recommendations supported by Singapore was one from the United Kingdom to mandate rest periods and create digital recruitment and wage-payment processes for foreign domestic workers.
新加坡还支持加强外籍劳工在工作条件、医疗保健、社会保障、司法救助以及防范剥削等方面的保护建议。这些建议包括改善外籍家政工人的法律保护、医疗保健获取途径以及心理健康支持。然而，新加坡并未支持一些寻求对法律保护进行具体修改的建议。
Singapore also supported recommendations to strengthen migrant workers' protections in areas such as working conditions, healthcare, social protection, access to justice and safeguards against exploitation. These included improving migrant domestic workers' legal protections, access to healthcare and mental health support. However, it did not support some recommendations seeking specific changes to legal protections.
其中包括加拿大和挪威提出的将《雇佣法》和《工伤赔偿法》的保护范围扩大到家政工人的建议，以及建立政府运营的招聘系统以防止欺诈性招聘和合同替换的建议。
These included recommendations from Canada and Norway to extend protections under the Employment Act and Work Injury Compensation Act to domestic workers, and a recommendation to establish a government-run recruitment system to prevent deceptive hiring and contract substitution.
新加坡也没有支持给予外籍家政工人公共假期、规范工作时间和带薪休假，以及取消强制性怀孕和艾滋病毒检测的建议。
Singapore also did not support a recommendation to give foreign domestic workers public holidays, regulated working hours and paid leave, and to end mandatory pregnancy and HIV testing.
新加坡在回应中表示，外籍家政工人需要“额外的保护”，其特定的工作环境已通过《外籍劳工雇佣法》下的定制化法规得到解决。
In its response, Singapore said migrant domestic workers required "additional protection" and that their particular working environments were addressed through customised legislation under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act.
心理健康与妇女赋权 新加坡支持多项关于心理健康的建议，包括加强针对年轻人的校内支持服务、提高公众意识以及发展社区服务。
MENTAL HEALTH, WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT Singapore supported several recommendations on mental health, including calls to strengthen school-based support services for young people, increase awareness and develop community services.
新加坡还支持了一项关于保护儿童和老年人免受网络伤害，同时保留非数字渠道以获取基本服务的建议。
It also backed a recommendation to protect children and older people from cyber harms while maintaining non-digital access to essential services.
此外，新加坡还支持了广泛的关于促进妇女赋权的建议，包括提高妇女在公共和政治生活中的代表性、缩小职场性别不平等，以及加强对担任领导职务女性的支持。
Singapore also supported a broad range of recommendations on advancing women's empowerment, including increasing women’s representation in public and political life, narrowing gender inequalities at work and strengthening support for women in leadership roles.
其他获得支持的建议侧重于平衡工作与照护责任，通过加强产假、照护责任及灵活工作安排等方面的职场保护，以提高女性的劳动力参与率。
Other supported recommendations focused on balancing work and caregiving with stronger workplace protections relating to maternity, caregiving responsibilities and flexible work arrangements to raise women’s workforce participation.
在本次审查的国家报告中，新加坡指出了《职场公平法》及扩大育儿假等措施。去年，政府资助的陪产假从两周增加到四周，而共享育儿假也已从四月起增加至十周。死刑与LGBT相关建议未获采纳新加坡未予支持的建议大多集中在三个主要领域：批准更多人权条约、废除或限制死刑，以及言论与集会自由。
In its national report for the review, Singapore pointed to measures such as the Workplace Fairness Act and expanded parental leave Government-paid paternity leave doubled from two to four weeks last year, while shared parental leave rose to 10 weeks from April. DEATH PENALTY, LGBT PROPOSALS NOT ACCEPTED Most of the recommendations Singapore did not support fell into three broad areas: ratification of additional human rights treaties, abolition or restriction of the death penalty, and freedom of expression and assembly.
拉特南先生表示，新加坡所“注意到”的建议中，约有三分之一与批准条约有关。
About a third of the recommendations it noted related to treaty ratification, Mr Ratnam said.
他指出，新加坡并不将条约义务视为“一种愿景式的追求”，并补充说，只有在确保能够全面落实条约的各个方面时，新加坡才会加入相关条约。
Singapore does not regard treaty obligations as "an aspirational exercise", he said, adding that the country would accede to treaties only when it was sure it could fully implement every aspect.
他补充道，对于许多其他建议，新加坡已制定了相应的法律和政策，以适合本国社会和文化背景的方式实现了这些建议的根本目标。
For many of the other recommendations, Singapore already had legislation and policies addressing their underlying objectives in ways suited to its social and cultural context, he added.
新加坡对呼吁暂停或废除死刑的建议表示“注意到”。新加坡表示，死刑仅针对最严重的罪行，包括谋杀和贩运大量毒品，且在执行过程中遵循了正当程序和司法保障。
Singapore noted recommendations calling for a moratorium on or abolition of the death penalty. It said capital punishment was reserved for the most serious crimes, including murder and trafficking significant quantities of drugs, and was applied with due process and judicial safeguards.
此外，新加坡不支持将同性婚姻合法化、禁止扭转治疗，或将性取向和性别认同纳入《职场公平法》保护范围的建议。
It also did not support recommendations to legalise same-sex marriage, ban conversion practices or add sexual orientation and gender identity as protected characteristics under the Workplace Fairness Act.
在正式的回应中，新加坡表示：“所有新加坡公民，无论其性取向或性别认同如何，都受到我国法律的保护，免受歧视和骚扰。我们将继续以敏感且务实的态度关注 LGBT 群体的关切，保护弱势群体，维护家庭和睦，并为新加坡多元化的社群创造一个共同的生活空间。”在言论自由和集会自由方面，新加坡支持那些旨在保护这些权利的提议，并确保相关法律法规符合国际人权标准。
In its formal response, Singapore said: “All Singapore citizens, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, are protected under our laws from discrimination and harassment. We will continue to address the concerns of the LGBT community in a sensitive and pragmatic way, protect the vulnerable, uphold the family and preserve the common space for the diverse communities in Singapore.”On freedom of expression and assembly, Singapore supported recommendations to protect these rights and ensure relevant laws and policies comply with international human rights standards.
然而，新加坡并不支持其中一些要求对《防止网络虚假信息和操纵法》以及《公共秩序法》等法律进行具体修改的提议。
However, it did not support several recommendations calling for specific changes to laws such as the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act and the Public Order Act.
政府指出，言论自由、表达自由和集会自由虽然受到宪法的保障，但并非“毫无限制”的；这些权利必须负责任地行使，尤其是考虑到新加坡多元种族和多元宗教的国情。新加坡表示，它致力于落实自己所支持的这 243 项建议。
The government said the rights to speech, expression and assembly were constitutionally guaranteed but not "unfettered", and had to be exercised responsibly, particularly given Singapore's multi-racial and multi-religious context. Singapore said it was committed to implementing the 243 recommendations it supported.
