乌克兰、伊朗、巴勒斯坦和苏丹:联大面临如此多问题却无力应对。近距离观察,这是一场停滞与衰退的缩影。联大开会通常并不扣人心弦。但今年的会议却折射出一个动荡危机的世界、一个正在崩塌的国际法与组织架构、以及一个过热运转的人道主义秩序机器。呈现出的不是寻求解决与决心的聚会,而是一场表演、沮丧与争吵的展示。
Ukraine, Iran, Palestine and Sudan: it has so many problems to confront and fails to do so. Seen up close, it is a study in stasis and decline UN general assembly meetings are not usually riveting occasions. But this year’s encapsulated a world in flux and crisis, an international law and organisation structure that is falling apart, and a humanitarian order machine running hot. What unfolded was less a gathering for resolution and resolve than a display of showboating, frustration and fractiousness.
这是一部留存史册的快照,记录了四大动荡冲突——乌克兰、伊朗、巴勒斯坦和苏丹——似乎没有解决的途径,也没有解决的意愿。泽连斯基讲述了俄罗斯侵略的五年:惊人的生命损失——双方数十万人丧生——对俄制裁的漏洞百出,以及这一切的“疯狂”。特朗普再次威胁若伊朗不达成协议就将其“消灭”,这一承诺重复多次早已显露其空洞。
It was a snapshot for the history books of four huge destabilising conflicts for which there seems to be no means of, or interest in, resolution – Ukraine, Iran, Palestine and Sudan. Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered an account of five years of Russian aggression: the staggering loss of life – hundreds of thousands killed on both sides – the porousness of the sanctions on Russia, the “madness” of it all. Donald Trump once again threatened to “annihilate” Iran if it did not make a deal, a promise that has now been made so many times its restating only reveals its hollowness.
伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬在发言中回应称,伊朗一直是美国恐怖主义与侵略的受害者,将以“最大力度”自卫。现场唯一的美国代表团成员随即退场。内斯林·马利克是《卫报》专栏作家。
Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, responded in his own speech by saying that Iran has been the victim of US terrorism and aggression, and would defend itself with the “utmost strength”. The sole US delegation representative in the room walked out. Nesrine Malik is a Guardian columnist
