法国外交部长让-诺埃尔·巴罗周三表示，法国期待下一任联合国秘书长推动改革、强化这一世界性组织。
Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said Wednesday that France expects the next UN chief to reform and strengthen the world body.
巴罗在法国参议院表示：“我们期待未来的秘书长能够改革联合国以强化它，绝不是为了更好地将其埋葬而使其丧失信誉。”
“What we expect from a future secretary-general is that he can reform the United Nations to strengthen it, and certainly not discredit it in order to better bury it,” Barrot told the French Senate.
巴罗说，法国不会接受大国削弱或瘫痪联合国的企图，他将该组织描述为为服务和平、发展和人权而成立的机构。
Barrot said France would not accept efforts by major powers to weaken or paralyze the UN, which he described as an organization founded to serve peace, development and human rights.
他表示，国际合作和多边主义对于保护民众免受战争、人工智能、气候变化和大流行病等威胁至关重要。
He said international cooperation and multilateralism were essential to protecting people from threats including war, AI, climate change and pandemics.
他说，作为联合国安理会常任理事国，法国正在努力推动组织改革，使其更具合法性和代表性。
France, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, was making efforts to reform the organization and make it more legitimate and representative, he said.
巴罗还提到一项法国倡议，旨在限制安理会常任理事国行使否决权，称该倡议旨在帮助保护苏丹、乌克兰、加沙地带和伊朗的平民，当他们成为攻击目标时。
Barrot also cited a French initiative to limit the use of veto powers by permanent Security Council members, saying it aimed to help protect civilians in Sudan, Ukraine, the Gaza Strip and Iran when they are targeted.
