联合国秘书长古特雷斯警告称，在为期35年的维和任务到期后，有争议的西撒哈拉地区可能出现敌对行动升级。“秘书长表示，他仍对整个领土的安全局势以及敌对行动升级的风险感到担忧，”他的发言人杜加里克周日在一份声明中说。
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned of potential escalation of hostilities in the disputed Western Sahara region after the expiry of a 35-year-long peacekeeping mission“The Secretary-General said he remains concerned about the security situation throughout the territory and the risk of hostilities escalating,” his spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, said in a statement on Sunday. Guterres also confirmed the end of the peacekeeping mission on Sunday, after the UN Security Council (UNSC) failed to renew its mandate on Friday.
古特雷斯还证实，维和任务于周日结束，此前联合国安理会周五未能续授其任务。
He urged all concerned “to exercise maximum restraint and to refrain from actions that could further increase tensions or undermine regional stability”.
他敦促所有相关方“保持最大限度的克制，避免采取可能进一步加剧紧张局势或破坏地区稳定的行动”。
November 1 marked the start of the “liquidation phase” of the peacekeeping mission, with assets transported back to troop-contributing countries, Guterres said.
古特雷斯说，11月1日标志着维和任务“清理阶段”的开始，资产被运回出兵国。
The UN established the Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) in 1991 to monitor a ceasefire and prepare a referendum on the territory’s future.
联合国于1991年设立了西撒哈拉全民投票特派团（MINURSO），负责监督停火并为该领土的未来举行全民投票做准备。
Morocco has considered Western Sahara its territory since 1975, when Spain withdrew from the desert region in northwest Africa, roughly the size of Britain.
自1975年西班牙从非洲西北部这片面积大致相当于英国的沙漠地区撤军以来，摩洛哥一直将西撒哈拉视为其领土。
The Polisario Front, an Algeria-backed movement acting on behalf of the Indigenous Sahrawi people, seeks to establish an independent state called the Sahrawi Republic.
由阿尔及利亚支持、代表土著撒哈拉维人行事的“波利萨里奥阵线”，寻求建立一个名为“撒哈拉阿拉伯民主共和国”的独立国家。
At the UNSC on Friday, the US proposed a resolution to support the principle of self-determination in the Western Sahara.
周五在安理会上，美国提出了一项决议草案，支持西撒哈拉自决原则。华盛顿的草案将把任务期限延长一年，从任务名称中删除“全民投票”，并以摩洛哥的自治方案作为进一步谈判的唯一基础。
Washington’s draft would have extended the mission for a year, removed “referendum” from its name and made Morocco’s autonomy proposal the only basis for further talks. Russia vetoed the resolution, despite support from 11 of the 15 UNSC members, including fellow permanent members France and the United Kingdom.
尽管获得了安理会15个成员国中的11个支持，包括常任理事国法国和英国，俄罗斯还是对该决议投了否决票。
The council then defeated a competing Russian resolution, leaving the mission to expire without a new mandate.
随后，安理会否决了一个竞争性的俄罗斯决议草案，导致该任务在没有新授权的情况下到期终止。
“While MINURSO’s peacekeeping operations have concluded, the United Nations stands ready to continue supporting efforts to advance dialogue and pursue a peaceful resolution of the conflict,” Guterres said on Sunday.
“虽然联西撒特派团的维和行动已经结束，但联合国已准备好继续支持推动对话、寻求冲突和平解决的努力，”古特雷斯周日表示。“深感遗憾”摩洛哥王宫表示，任务未获续期是将西撒哈拉问题从安理会考量范围内撤出的“重大进展”。
‘Deep regret’Morocco’s royal palace said the fact the mission was not renewed was a “significant development” in withdrawing the Western Sahara issue from the UNSC’s consideration.
然而，阿尔及利亚外交部周六对任务未获续期表示“深感遗憾”，并将其归咎于美国对摩洛哥立场的“过度偏袒”。
On Saturday, Algeria’s Foreign Ministry, however, expressed “deep regret” over the non-renewal, blaming the “excessive bias” of the US towards Morocco’s position.
波利萨里奥阵线在一份声明中表示，对安理会会议陷入僵局“感到担忧”。
The Polisario Front said in a statement that it was “concerned at the deadlock in the Security Council meeting”.
周五投票后，美国驻联合国大使迈克·沃尔茨表示，真令人遗憾，在2026年，否决权被用来“为维持任务名称中的字母R（即公投）而服务”。
Speaking after Friday’s vote, US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz said it was truly unfortunate that in 2026, the veto was used to “preserve the letter R [in the Mission’s name] for referendum”.
他补充说，华盛顿的提案“本可推动这场持续50年的冲突向前发展”，而现状是不可接受的。
He added Washington’s proposal “would have moved the 50-year conflict forward” and that the status quo is unacceptable.
俄罗斯驻联合国大使瓦西里·涅边齐亚在同一会议上表示，莫斯科反对该草案，因为它偏袒一方。“我们强调，安理会不能自动预判与主权有关的事项，”他说。
Russia’s UN ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, said at the same meeting that Moscow opposed the draft because it favoured one side. “We stress the fact that the Security Council cannot automatically predetermine matters relating to sovereignty,” he said.
