联合国人权事务高级专员福尔克·蒂尔克周二对缅甸军方在若开邦一个拥挤的市场发动空袭导致据报至少50人死亡表示痛惜，并警告说死亡人数可能会进一步上升。
UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk on Tuesday deplored Myanmar military airstrikes that reportedly killed at least 50 people at a crowded market in Rakhine State, warning that the toll could rise.
根据联合国人权办公室的消息，空袭于周一中午左右击中了皎漂镇，死者包括摊贩、顾客、运输工人和妇女儿童等其他平民。
The strikes hit Kyauktaw township around midday Monday, killing vendors, customers, transport workers and other civilians, including women and children, according to the UN human rights office.
据报还有至少58人在这次袭击中受伤，人权办公室将其描述为自2021年2月军事政变以来若开邦“最致命的袭击之一”。
At least 58 others were reportedly injured in what the office described as "one of the deadliest attacks" in Rakhine since the February 2021 military coup.
该市场包含200多家店铺，由若开族、罗兴亚族、印度教徒和丹内族等多个社群的成员经营，事发时人头攒动。
The market contained more than 200 shops operated by members of several communities, including Rakhine, Rohingya, Hindu and Daingnet, and was crowded when the strikes occurred.
蒂尔克表示：“这次最新袭击引发了对在敌对行动中遵守国际人道法的严重关切，”他强调各方在袭击中必须遵守区分原则、相称原则和预防原则。
"This latest attack raises serious concerns about respect for international humanitarian law with respect to the conduct of hostilities," Turk said, stressing that parties must respect the principles of distinction, proportionality and precautions in attack.
他还指出，若开邦有关于任意逮捕、酷刑、性暴力和基于性别的暴力、强迫失踪、强迫劳动和招募的报道。
He also pointed to reports of arbitrary arrests, torture, sexual and gender-based violence, enforced disappearances, forced labor and recruitment in Rakhine.
这次袭击发生数小时前，马来西亚开始实施一项驱逐约5万名缅甸国民的计划，促使蒂尔克呼吁立即暂停该进程。
The attack came hours before Malaysia began implementing a plan to deport around 5,000 Myanmar nationals, prompting Turk to call for the process to be halted immediately.
他说：“现在绝对不是将任何人强行遣返回一个饱受严重侵犯人权和虐待之苦的国家的时候。”
"This is no time to return anyone forcibly to a country plagued by egregious human rights violations and abuses," he said.
这位人权高专表示，缅甸的局势仍然“远未达到安全和可持续的标准”，并敦促其他国家通过替代方案支持马来西亚和孟加拉国等难民收容国。
The human rights chief said conditions in Myanmar remain "far from safe and sustainable," urging other countries to support refugee-hosting nations, including Malaysia and Bangladesh, with alternative solutions.
他最后提醒各国外交官注意他们根据不驱回原则所承担的义务，该原则禁止各国将人员遣返回面临迫害、酷刑、严重伤害或其他严重侵犯人权行为的国家。
He concluded by reminding states of their obligations under the principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits states from returning people to countries where they face persecution, torture, serious harm, or other serious human rights violations.
