Secretary-General’s Message on International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

秘書長消除種族歧視國際日致辭

21 March 2014

2014年3月21日

This year, the world commemorates the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination for the first time following the death of former South African President Nelson Mandela.

今年是國際社會在前南非總統(tǒng)納爾遜·曼德拉逝世后紀念的第一個消除種族歧視國際日。

This sad reality is also a reminder of his courageous struggle against apartheid and his inspiring victory over the racist forces that had imprisoned him for 27 years.

他的逝世令人悲傷，但也喚醒世人對他勇斗種族隔離制度的記憶，他戰(zhàn)勝了將他囚禁長達27年的種族主義勢力，他的勝利令人鼓舞。

The United Nations General Assembly, in a show of solidarity with the anti-apartheid movement, established this Day to commemorate the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre, when 69 people were killed and many others injured as police opened fire on a peaceful protest against South Africa’s appalling pass laws.

聯(lián)合國大會為聲援反種族隔離運動而頒布了這個國際日，以紀念1960年發(fā)生的沙佩維爾大屠殺，當年，人民和平示威，抗議南非邪惡的通行證法，警察卻對和平示威人群開槍，致使69人死亡，許多人受傷。

Nelson Mandela’s journey from prisoner to President was the triumph of an extraordinary individual against the forces of hate, ignorance and fear – and it was a testimony to the power of courage, reconciliation and forgiveness to overcome the injustice of racial discrimination.

納爾遜·曼德拉從囚徒到總統(tǒng)的歷程是一位杰出人士戰(zhàn)勝仇恨、無知和恐懼勢力的歷程，是勇氣、和解和容恕的力量戰(zhàn)勝種族歧視這種不公正現(xiàn)象的明證。

He chose Sharpeville for the historic signing of South Africa’s new Constitution in 1996. On that occasion, President Mandela said, “Out of the many Sharpevilles which haunt our history was born the unshakeable determination that respect for human life, liberty and well-being must be enshrined as rights beyond the power of any force to diminish.”

1996年，他選擇在沙佩維爾簽署南非新《憲法》，具有歷史意義。當時，曼德拉總統(tǒng)說，“我們的歷史上有過許許多多的沙佩維爾事件，這些事件淬煉了我們不可動搖的決心，我們決心讓人類生命、自由和福祉成為任何力量都不可削弱的神圣權(quán)利�！�

Today, we remember Sharpeville as a symbol of the terrible toll of racial discrimination, and we honour those who lost their lives during the massacre. At the same time, we recall that President Mandela framed Sharpeville’s legacy as an unwavering resolve to protect the dignity and rights of all people.

今天，我們紀念沙佩維爾事件，這次事件是種族歧視沉重代價的象征，我們緬懷在大屠殺中喪生的人。與此同時，我們回顧，曼德拉總統(tǒng)已將沙佩維爾事件轉(zhuǎn)化為保護所有人尊嚴和權(quán)利的堅定決心。

The lessons of South Africa’s staunch defence of equality “out of the many Sharpevilles” in the country’s history can be applied anywhere in the world, not only in response to organized, institutional forms of racism but wherever this pernicious problem occurs, including in daily interpersonal relations.

在南非歷史上“許許多多的沙佩維爾事件”中，南非堅定地捍衛(wèi)平等，其經(jīng)驗教訓適用于世界任何地區(qū)，不僅可用來反對形形色色有組織和體制化的種族主義，而且可適用于任何存在這個毒瘤的地方，也適用于日常人際關(guān)系。

I call on all people, especially political, civic and religious leaders, to strongly condemn messages and ideas based on racism, racial superiority or hatred as well as those that incite racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. On this Day, let us acknowledge that racial discrimination remains a dangerous threat and resolve to tackle it through dialogue inspired by the proven ability of individuals to respect, protect and defend our rich diversity as one human family.

我呼吁所有人，特別是政治、民間社會和宗教領(lǐng)袖，強烈譴責基于種族主義、種族優(yōu)越感或仇恨的言論和思想，強烈譴責煽動種族主義、種族歧視、仇外心理和相關(guān)不容忍行為的言論和思想。值此國際日，讓我們承認，種族歧視仍然是一項重大威脅，讓我們下定決心，通過對話解決這個問題，許許多多的人已經(jīng)證明，他們有能力進行這種對話，以促進尊重、保護和捍衛(wèi)同一個人類大家庭的豐富多元性。
