人权观察组织批评拉娜·努赛贝(Lana Nusseibeh)竞选联合国秘书长,称她否认阿联酋在苏丹的角色,且缺乏担任此职所需的道德资质。
Human rights monitors criticised Lana Nusseibeh’s bid for UN chief, saying she denied the UAE’s role in Sudan and lacked the moral standing needed for the job.
在一次网络研讨会上,肯尼斯·罗斯(Kenneth Roth)和苏丹方面的声音警告称,选举这位阿联酋高级外交官可能削弱联合国的问责力度,而苏丹平民正面临大规模战争和种族灭绝指控。
At a webinar, Kenneth Roth and Sudanese voices warned that electing the UAE’s senior diplomat could weaken UN accountability as Sudan civilians face a major war and genocide claims.
努赛贝表示,苏丹将是“第一优先”,并支持停火努力和联合国事实调查任务,然而在下一轮草案投票前,竞争仍呈分裂状态。AI生成纽约——人权观察组织批评阿联酋高级外交官拉娜·努赛贝的联合国秘书长候选人资格,指出她在倡导该国外交政策并否认阿联酋在加剧苏丹冲突中的作用。
Nusseibeh said Sudan would be a “number one priority” and backed ceasefire efforts and UN fact-finding missions, while the race remains split before the next straw poll. AI generated NEW YORK - Human rights monitors criticised senior UAE diplomat Lana Nusseibeh’s candidacy to be the next UN chief on Oct 27, citing her role in championing the country’s foreign policy and denying the UAE’s role in fuelling the conflict in Sudan.
自上周她迟迟宣布参选以来,对这位中东知名候选人的反对声浪日益高涨。
Pushback against the prominent Middle Eastern candidate has gathered steam since her late entry last week.
她的参选打乱了本已僵局的安东尼奥·古特雷斯(Antonio Guterres)接班人竞争格局,古特雷斯将在今年结束其第二个五年任期。
Her bid upended the gridlocked race to replace UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, as he finishes his second five-year term this year.
尽管数位联合国高级官员和前国家领袖已进行数月的竞选宣传,但在安理会最有影响力的国家之间,仍难形成共识人选。
Despite months of campaigning by several senior UN figures and former country leaders, the competition has struggled to produce a consensus choice among the Security Council’s most powerful nations.
苏丹战争自2023年4月因军方与快速支援部队(RSF)之间的权力争夺而爆发,已导致超过1400万人流离失所,成为全球最严重的人道危机之一。
Sudan’s war, which erupted in April 2023 following a power struggle between the military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has displaced more than 14 million people and created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
“她被问及阿联酋在武装和支持快速支援部队方面的角色时,竟公然否认,完全不顾事实——这不是我们需要的联合国秘书长,”人权观察前执行董事肯尼斯·罗斯在该竞选组织的网络研讨会上表示。
“She has been asked about the UAE’s role in arming and supporting the RSF, and she just blatantly denies it without regard to the facts – that is not what we need as UN Secretary-General,” Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch, told a webinar organised by the campaign.
联合国一项事实调查任务在9月称,外国武器、军事技术、战斗人员和后勤网络——包括阿拉伯联合酋长国的个人和实体在内——正在帮助维持苏丹冲突。
A UN fact-finding mission said in September that foreign weapons, military technology, fighters and logistical networks – including individuals and entities in the United Arab Emirates, among others – are helping sustain Sudan’s conflict.
“这与我们期望联合国秘书长具备的那种人权领导道德地位截然相反,”罗思在题为“呼吁阻止阿联酋部长竞逐联合国最高职位,正值苏丹种族灭绝之际”的网络研讨会上表示。
“This is the opposite of the kind of moral standing of the human rights leadership that we want from a UN Secretary-General,” Roth told the webinar titled “Call To Stop UAE Minister’s Bid for UN Top Job Amid Sudan Genocide”.
据主办方介绍,该研讨会还邀请了苏丹问题专家以及法谢尔大屠杀幸存者,就努赛贝的候选资格及其对联合国保护平民承诺的影响表达关切。
The webinar also featured Sudanese experts, as well as a survivor of the El Fasher massacre, on their concerns about Nusseibeh’s candidacy and its implications for the UN’s commitment to protect civilians, according to the organisers.
“选举其资深外交官为秘书长,将把这些机构的领导权交给该政府的首席辩护人,就在这一时刻,苏丹平民最需要联合国让强国承担责任,”苏丹倡导者、苏丹未来电视台创始人胡萨姆·马赫朱卜说。
“Electing its senior diplomat as secretary-general would hand leadership of those same institutions to that government’s chief defender, at the very moment Sudanese civilians most need the UN to hold powerful states accountable,” said Husam Mahjoub a Sudanese advocate and founder of Sudan Bukra TV.
在10月27日与大会的对话中,当被问及苏丹问题时,努赛贝表示:“如果我成为秘书长,苏丹将是我的头号优先事项,因为这是近代史上最恐怖的冲突之一。”“现场人员伤亡是一场悲剧,快速支援部队犯下的暴行令人发指,我将支持所有联合国调查机制为问责和过渡正义所做的工作,”她补充道。
Asked about Sudan during the dialogue with the General Assembly on Oct 27, Nusseibeh said: “If I were to become secretary-general, Sudan would be a number one priority, as one of the most horrific conflicts we have seen in recent history.”“The loss of human life on the ground is a tragedy, the atrocities committed by the RSF are atrocious, and I would support the work of all UN fact-finding missions for accountability and transitional justice,” she added.
对话结束后,努赛贝在联合国总部对媒体表示,作为秘书长,她将致力于成为一名“敢于冒险者”和“调解工作的主要推动者”。
Nusseibeh told the media at the UN after the dialogue that, as a secretary-general, she would work to be a “risk-taker” and “prime mover in mediation efforts”.
她还曾单独表示,将“将联合国全面的政治和实际支持置于正在进行的努力之后,以达成停火和一个可信且包容的政治进程,反映苏丹人民的民主愿望”。现年48岁的努赛贝担任阿联酋驻联合国大使已超过十年。她此前曾领导阿联酋成功竞选安理会非常任理事国。
She has also separately said she would “put the UN’s full political and practical support behind ongoing efforts to reach a ceasefire and a credible and inclusive political process that reflects the democratic aspirations of the Sudanese people”. Nusseibeh, 48, served as UAE ambassador to the UN for more than a decade. She previously led the UAE’s successful campaign for election to the Security Council.
在纽约工作的外交界人士广泛认识她,他们评价她是一位称职的管理者、熟练的谈判者和清晰的沟通者。
She is widely known by diplomats working in New York, who say she is a competent manager, skilled negotiator and clear communicator.
10月的一次非正式安理会民意测验曾将哥斯达黎加前副总统雷贝卡·格林斯潘列为竞选中的微弱领跑者。
An informal council poll in October had placed former Costa Rican Vice-President Rebeca Grynspan as the narrow frontrunner in the race.
但她和所有其他候选人都从最终起决定性作用的安理会五个常任理事国——俄罗斯、中国、美国、法国和英国——那里各自获得了两张或更多反对票。
But she and all other candidates received two or more opposing votes from the ultimately decisive five permanent members of the council – Russia, China, the US, France and Britain.
获胜者将不得不应对多重危机,包括数场战争、美国对联合国缴款的削减,以及随着华盛顿退出数十个联合国机构,这个拥有193个成员的机构政治影响力的下降。
Whoever wins will have to tackle multiple crises, including several wars, cutbacks in American contributions to the UN, and the 193-member body’s declining political relevance as Washington has pulled out of dozens of its agencies.
下一次民意测验最早可能于10月30日举行,但具体形式和确切时间仍在由外交官们磋商中。
The next straw poll could take place as soon as Oct 30, but the format and exact timing are still being negotiated by the diplomats.
