联合国人权事务高级专员办事处周五警告称，美国计划直播处决一名前陆军少校的行为将违反“绝对禁止酷刑”的原则。
The UN human rights office warned Friday that the US plan to livestream the execution of a former Army major would breach the “absolute prohibition of torture.”
联合国人权办发言人沙比亚·曼图在日内瓦对记者表示：“直播处决等同于公开处决，将违反绝对禁止酷刑的规定。”
"The live streaming of an execution is tantamount to a public execution and would breach the absolute prohibition of torture," UN human rights office spokesperson Shabia Mantoo told reporters in Geneva.
曼图回顾说，联合国人权事务高级专员沃尔克·图尔克此前曾对阿富汗和伊朗的公开处决表示关切。
Mantoo recalled that UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk had previously raised concerns about public executions in Afghanistan and Iran.
她强调，此类做法构成了“残忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或惩罚”。
She stressed that such practices constituted "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."
曼图表示：“未能遵守这一禁令将不可避免地使处决行为具有任意性，并导致对生命权的侵犯。”
"Failure to respect this prohibition would inevitably render the execution arbitrary in nature and result in a violation of the right to life," Mantoo said.
此前，美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯发表声明称，公众将能够观看通过行刑队处决前美国陆军少校尼达尔·哈桑的过程。
Her remarks followed a statement by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the public would be able to watch the execution of former US Army Maj. Nidal Hasan by firing squad.
哈桑因在2009年德克萨斯州胡德堡军事基地枪杀13名手无寸铁的美国士兵而被判处死刑。
Hasan was sentenced to death for fatally shooting 13 unarmed US soldiers at Fort Hood military base in Texas in 2009.
据报道，此次计划中的广播将成为美国近一个世纪以来的首次公开处决。
The planned broadcast would reportedly mark the first public execution in the US in nearly a century.
