联合国专家周二敦促粮食及农业组织（FAO）坚持人权并保护员工，此前人们对处理在加沙地带从事粮食不安全和饥荒问题的官员的方式表示担忧。
UN experts on Tuesday urged the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to uphold human rights and protect staff following concerns about the treatment of officials who worked on food insecurity and starvation in the Gaza Strip.
专家们对粮农组织总干事的言论表示担忧，这些言论似乎将高级官员的离职与他们参与人权问题联系起来。
The experts expressed concern about remarks by the FAO director-general that appeared to link the departure of senior officials to their engagement with human rights issues.
“人权原则不是FAO使命的附加部分；它们是其核心，”专家们表示。
“Human rights principles are not peripheral to the FAO's mandate; they are central to it,” said the experts.
他们表示，记录加沙的饥荒情况符合该机构抗击饥饿的使命，并不构成对公正性的违背。
They said documenting starvation in Gaza was consistent with the agency’s mandate to combat hunger and did not constitute a breach of impartiality.
专家警告称，潜在的报复可能在员工中制造恐惧氛围，并削弱联合国的可信度。
The experts warned that potential reprisals could create a climate of fear among staff and undermine the UN’s credibility.
他们敦促FAO维护联合国宪章，并要求成员国对其领导层承担责任。
They urged the FAO to uphold the UN Charter and for member states to hold its leadership accountable.
他们还表示，人权承诺应成为2027年下一任FAO总干事选拔的核心。
They also said human rights commitments should be central to the selection of the next FAO director-general in 2027.
