United Nations Member States, by ratifying or accepting the UN Charter, have committed themselves to the values of multilateralism and diplomacy for peace.
联合国会员国通过批准或接受《联合国宪章》,对多边主义与外交促进和平的价值作出了承诺。
But as we mark this year's International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace, this commitment is being broken. The principles at the heart of multilateral cooperation are under the greatest strain since the founding of the United Nations.
但是,在我们纪念今年的多边主义与外交促进和平国际日之时,这一承诺正在被打破。多边合作的核心原则正面临自联合国成立以来最大的压力。
From the climate crisis to the multiplication of conflicts – including the ongoing war in Ukraine; the governance of weapons of mass destruction; health emergencies; and the global refugee protection regime – the multilateral system and the value of diplomacy are under threat from all directions.
从气候危机到冲突倍增——包括当前的乌克兰战争;大规模毁灭性武器治理;突发卫生事件和全球难民保护制度——多边体系和外交价值正受到来自各个方面的威胁。
We need to transform this moment of crisis into a moment for multilateralism.
我们需要将这一危机时刻转变为多边主义的时刻。
The recommendations in my report on Our Common Agenda aim to protect and strengthen the foundations of global cooperation and create a networked, inclusive multilateralism that is fit for the future.
我在“我们的共同议程”报告中提出的建议旨在保护和加强全球合作的基础,创建适合未来的网络化、包容性的多边主义。
On the International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace, I call on all governments and leaders to renew their commitment to dialogue and global solutions that are the only sustainable path for peace.
值此多边主义与外交促进和平国际日,我呼吁各国政府和领导人重新致力于开展对话,寻求全球解决方案,这是实现和平的唯一可持续途径。
