印度和以色列投票反对了一项由巴基斯坦和白俄罗斯支持的联合国关于地区常规武器控制的决议。新德里辩称，国家安全关切超越了地区边界。
India and Israel voted against a Pakistan-Belarus-backed UN resolution on regional conventional arms control. New Delhi argued that national security concerns extend beyond regional boundaries.
据印度新闻社报道，印度和以色列投票反对了一项由巴基斯坦和白俄罗斯在联合国提出的关于地区和次区域层面常规武器控制的草案决议。印度表示，各国的安全关切不受地区边界的限制。
India and Israel have voted against a draft resolution moved by Pakistan and Belarus at the United Nations on conventional arms control at regional and subregional levels, news agency Press Trust of India reported. India said countries' security concerns were not limited by regional boundaries.
这项题为“全面彻底裁军：地区和次区域层面的常规武器控制”的草案决议，于周一在联合国大会第一委员会以180票赞成、2票反对、0票弃权的结果获得通过。在193个成员国的联合国机构中，印度和以色列是仅有的两个投反对票的国家。
The draft resolution, titled 'General and complete disarmament: Conventional arms control at the regional and subregional levels', was approved by the UN General Assembly's First Committee on Monday with 180 votes in favour, two against and no abstentions. India and Israel were the only countries to oppose it in the 193-member UN body.
印度常驻联合国代表团一等秘书安莫尔·谢尔·贝迪在解释印度的投票立场时表示，常规武器控制是一个全球性问题。据印度新闻社报道，贝迪说：“我们并不完全确信，这应主要在地区和次区域背景下推进。”
Explaining India's vote, First Secretary at India's Permanent Mission to the UN Anmol Sher Bedi said conventional arms control was a global issue. "We are not fully convinced that it should be pursued primarily in regional and sub-regional contexts," Bedi said, according to PTI.
他说，印度投票反对该决议符合其一贯立场。印度还质疑了该决议要求联合国裁军委员会考虑制定原则、作为地区常规武器控制协定框架的请求。
He said India had voted against the resolution in line with its past position. India also questioned its request to the UN Disarmament Commission to consider drawing up principles that could serve as a framework for regional agreements on conventional arms control.
贝迪说：“我们带着一定程度的好奇心阅读了这一请求。”他指出，该委员会已于1993年通过共识通过了关于地区裁军的准则和建议，1999年通过了关于常规武器控制和裁军的准则，以及2017年通过了关于涉及常规武器的实际建立信任措施的建议。
"We read this request with a certain degree of curiosity," Bedi said. He pointed out that the Commission had already adopted by consensus guidelines and recommendations on regional disarmament in 1993, guidelines on conventional arms control and disarmament in 1999, and recommendations on practical confidence-building measures involving conventional weapons in 2017.
“在目前被要求从头开始的这个机构内，这已经是就这一主题达成的第三个共识结果，”他说。“我们无法理解，一个已经经过长时间审议的主题为何还需要再进行一轮审议，除非目的是让联合国裁军机制保持忙碌，”贝迪补充道。
"That makes three consensus outcomes on this very subject in the very body now being asked to start from scratch," he said. "We fail to understand why a subject already deliberated at length needs another round of deliberation unless the aim is to keep the UN disarmament machinery busy," Bedi added.
贝迪还反对该决议关于在区域或次区域层面维持国防能力平衡的做法。“这假设各国的安全关切礼貌地止步于其区域边界。事实并非如此，”他说。
Bedi also objected to the resolution's approach to maintaining a balance in defence capabilities within a region or subregion. "This assumes that the security concerns of States politely stop at their regional borders. They do not," he said.
“正如大家出于众所周知的原因所理解的那样，这些关切超出了狭义定义的区域和次区域。更重要的是，在区域或次区域层面维持平衡的概念似乎不切实际，”贝迪说。
"Those concerns, as everyone understands for well-known reasons, extend beyond narrowly-defined regions and subregions. More importantly, the notion of preserving balance in a region or a subregion appears unrealistic," Bedi said.
决议指出，常规武器控制应主要在区域和次区域层面推进，因为冷战后对和平与安全的大多数威胁主要源于同一区域或次区域内的国家之间。决议还寻求促进旨在加强区域和平与安全的协定，“将武器装备和军事力量维持在最低可能水平”。
The resolution says conventional arms control should be pursued primarily at regional and subregional levels as most threats to peace and security in the post-Cold War period arise mainly among countries in the same region or subregion. It also seeks to promote agreements aimed at strengthening regional peace and security "at the lowest possible level of armaments and military forces".
印度单独就一段涉及南亚背景下常规武器控制提案的条款投了反对票。该段指出，对不同地区的倡议表示“特别关注”，包括拉丁美洲一些国家之间的磋商以及“在南亚背景下提出的常规武器控制提案”，同时承认此类控制与区域安全的相关性。
India separately voted against a paragraph referring to conventional arms control proposals made in the context of South Asia. The paragraph noted with "particular interest" initiatives in different regions, including consultations among some Latin American countries and "the proposals for conventional arms control made in the context of South Asia", while recognising the relevance of such controls to regional security.
决议还指出，“军事上具有重要地位的国家和拥有较大军事能力的国家负有特殊责任”，应促进区域安全协定。印度坚持认为常规武器控制是一个全球性问题，反对将对各国安全关切的评估局限于区域和次区域边界。
The resolution also says that "militarily significant States and States with larger military capabilities have a special responsibility" to promote agreements for regional security. India maintained that conventional arms control was a global issue and opposed limiting the assessment of countries' security concerns to regional and subregional boundaries.
