10月2日-美洲国家组织(OAS)周五批准了一项决议,呼吁尼加拉瓜当局释放政治犯,恢复公民自由,并为潜在的协调行动开辟道路。

Oct 2 - The Organization of American States (OAS) on Friday approved a resolution that calls on Nicaraguan authorities to free political prisoners, restore civic liberties and carves a path for potential coordinated action.

该决议设立一个小组,负责跟进尼加拉瓜提出的一系列要求并就可能采取的行动提出建议,包括为公平选举创造条件、释放政治犯和披露被强迫失踪者的下落。

The resolution establishes the creation of a group to follow up on and recommend potential action regarding a series of demands to Nicaragua, including that it establish conditions for fair elections, free political prisoners and disclose the whereabouts of people who have been forcibly disappeared.

尼加拉瓜联合总统丹尼尔·奥尔特加(Daniel Ortega)和他的妻子罗萨里奥·穆里略(Rosario Murillo)的政府自2018年抗议浪潮以来一直严格限制公民自由,上个月禁止其反对派参加未来的选举。

The government of Nicaragua's Co-Presidents Daniel Ortega and his wife, Rosario Murillo, which has heavily restricted civil liberties since a wave of protests in 2018, last month banned its opposition from future elections.

该决议是在美洲国家组织七年来首次外长会议上获得批准的,该组织32名外交部长中的大多数都派代表或大使出席会议。主办和提议这次会议的华盛顿派出了副国务卿克里斯托弗·兰多。

The resolution was approved at the OAS' first meeting of foreign ministers in seven years, which saw most of the organization's 32 foreign ministers delegate attendance to deputies or ambassadors. Washington, which hosted and proposed the meeting, sent Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau.

兰多在会上说:“我们都明白,尼加拉瓜的民主危机不仅仅是内政问题;相反,独裁统治危及我们半球的和平与安全。”

"We all understand that the democratic crisis in Nicaragua isn't solely an internal matter; to the contrary, the dictatorship endangers the peace and security of our hemisphere," Landau said at the meeting.

他补充说:“独裁政权通过便利非法移民和拥抱支持镇压的非半球安全部门,破坏了中美洲和我们更广阔的半球的稳定。”

"The dictatorship destabilizes Central America and our broader hemisphere by facilitating illegal immigration and embracing non-hemispheric security services, which support the repression," he added.

该决议的早些时候草案显示,美国与结盟的右翼政府之间存在分歧,后者推动尼加拉瓜采取更强硬的措辞并声称外国安全存在,而包括巴西在内的其他国家则表示尼加拉瓜不应被视为地区安全威胁。

Earlier drafts of the resolution showed a rift between the US and aligned right-leaning governments, who pushed for stronger language and alleged foreign security presence in Nicaragua, and other countries including Brazil which said Nicaragua should not be considered a regional security threat.

尼加拉瓜于2023年退出美洲国家组织,与俄罗斯和中国签订了安全合作协议。

Nicaragua, which left the OAS in 2023, has security cooperation agreements with Russia and China.

美洲国家组织秘书长阿尔伯特·拉姆丁告诉路透社,他希望这次会议不仅仅是对侵犯人权行为的口头谴责。

OAS Secretary-General Albert Ramdin told Reuters he hoped the meeting would lead to more than verbal condemnation over human rights abuses.

“这已经说过很多次了。再次集体这么说是件好事,但这不可能是唯一的结果,”拉姆丁说。“也一定是,我们下一步该怎么办?“路透社

"That has been said many times already. It is good to say this again collectively, but that cannot be the only outcome," Ramdin said. "It must also be, what do we do next?" REUTERS
