Youth Migration, Moving Development Forward “青年移徙：推動(dòng)發(fā)展”

This year’s observance of International Youth Day focuses on the issue of youth migration.Of the annual total of some 214 million international migrants, young people constitute more than 10 per cent, yet too little is known about their struggles and experiences.今年國際青年日紀(jì)念活動(dòng)的重點(diǎn)是青年移徙問題。每年約有2.14億名國際移徙者，青年占其中10%以上，然而對(duì)他們的掙扎和遭遇所知甚少。

The reasons young people migrate are many.Some are fleeing persecution, others are escaping economic hardship.Some are alone, others part of a family – with parents, siblings and even children of their own.Some have communities to go to, others must make new connections.In transit and at their final destinations, many young migrants face equal or greater struggles, including racism, xenophobia, discrimination and human rights violations.Young women, in particular, face the risk of sexual exploitation and abuse.青年移徙的原因是多方面的。一些人要逃離迫害，另一些人是為了擺脫經(jīng)濟(jì)困境。一些人只身移徙，另一些人與父母、兄弟姐妹甚至自己的子女等家人一起移徙。一些人有可去的社區(qū)，另一些人不得不建立新關(guān)系。許多青年移徙者在途中或最終目的地面臨同樣艱難甚至更艱難的掙扎，包括面對(duì)種族主義、仇外心理、歧視、侵犯人權(quán)行為。女青年尤其面臨遭受性剝削和性虐待的危險(xiǎn)。

Poverty, crowded and unsanitary living conditions and the challenges of finding decent employment are regular features of the migrant experience.These challenges areexacerbated by the current global economic and financial crisis.Migrants are also often accused by communities and politicians of taking jobs from local people, exposing them to further risk of discrimination.In other cases, young people left behind by migrating parents face psychological and social challenges and greater vulnerability.移徙者往往在貧窮、擁擠、不衛(wèi)生的條件下生活，而且難以找到體面就業(yè)。當(dāng)前的全球經(jīng)濟(jì)和金融危機(jī)加劇了這種狀況。社區(qū)和政界人士常常指控移徙者搶走當(dāng)?shù)厝嗣竦木蜆I(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，使移徙者更易受到歧視。此外，一些父母移徙時(shí)把孩子留下，使其面臨心理和社會(huì)方面的挑戰(zhàn)，而且更易受到傷害。

It is important to emphasize the positive contribution young migrants make to societies of origin, transit and destination – economically and by enriching the social and cultural fabric.Most work hard to earn a living and improve their circumstances.必須強(qiáng)調(diào)，青年移徙者為原籍國、過境國、目的地國社會(huì)作出了積極貢獻(xiàn)，包括在經(jīng)濟(jì)方面，也包括豐富社會(huì)和文化結(jié)構(gòu)。大多數(shù)青年移徙者努力謀生和改善生活條件。The remittances they send to support families in their home countries are a major contributor to economies worldwide.When they return home, young migrants often enhance development by applying skills and ideas acquired abroad.And, in many cases, women are empowered through migration as they gain financial and social independence.他們匯款養(yǎng)活原籍國的家庭，是全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的一個(gè)重要促進(jìn)因素。當(dāng)青年移徙者返回家園后，往往會(huì)運(yùn)用在國外獲得的技能和觀念促進(jìn)發(fā)展。此外，許多婦女能通過移徙贏得經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會(huì)獨(dú)立。

In October, the United Nations General Assembly will host the second High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development.I urge Member States to consider youth migration.Working with and for young people is one of my top priorities.On this International Youth Day, I encourage Member States, youth-led organizations and other stakeholders to act to promote the rights of all young migrants and maximize the development potential of youth migration.今年10月，聯(lián)合國大會(huì)將主辦第二次國際移徙與發(fā)展高級(jí)別對(duì)話。我敦促會(huì)員國審議青年移徙問題。我的最優(yōu)先事項(xiàng)之一就是與青年合作和為青年而工作。值此國際青年日之際，我鼓勵(lì)各會(huì)員國、青年領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的組織和其他利益攸關(guān)方采取行動(dòng)，促進(jìn)青年移徙者的權(quán)利，并最大限度地發(fā)揮青年移徙在促進(jìn)發(fā)展方面的潛力。

聯(lián)合國秘書長潘基文2011年國際青年日致辭

2011年8月12日

“Change Our World” is more than the theme of this year’s International Youth Day;it is an injunction that

should inspire young people at all times.“改變世界”不只是今年國際青年日的主題，而且是一條激勵(lì)各個(gè)時(shí)代青年人的訓(xùn)喻。

Far too many of the world’s more than one billion young people lack the education, freedom and

opportunities they deserve.Yet despite these constraints – and in some cases because of them – young people are mobilizing in growing numbers to build a better future.Over the past year, they have achieved stunning results,overturning dictatorships and sending waves of hope across regions and around the world.在全世界10億多青年中，太多的人得不到他們應(yīng)享的教育、自由和各種機(jī)會(huì)。然而，盡管存在這些限制，有些情況下正是因?yàn)檫@些限制，越來越多的青年為創(chuàng)造更美好的未來行動(dòng)起來。過去一年中，他們?nèi)?/p>

得了令人矚目的成果，推翻了獨(dú)裁統(tǒng)治，將希望傳播到各區(qū)域和世界各地。

Young people are gifted with open minds and a keen awareness of emerging trends, and are bringing their energy, ideas and courage to some of the most complex and important challenges facing the human family.They often understand better than older generations that we can transcend our religious and cultural differences in order to reach our shared goals.They are standing up for the rights of oppressed peoples, including those who suffer discrimination based on gender, race and sexual orientation.They are confronting sensitive issues in order to stop

the spread of HIV.And they are often the leading proponents of sustainability and green life-styles.青年天生思想開放，可敏銳察覺新的趨勢(shì)，他們運(yùn)用自己的能量、想法和勇氣來解決人類大家庭面臨的一些最為復(fù)雜和重要的挑戰(zhàn)。他們往往比老一輩人更明白，為達(dá)成共同的目標(biāo)，我們可以超越宗教和文化的差異。他們挺身維護(hù)受壓迫人民的權(quán)利，包括那些因性別、種族和性取向而遭受歧視的人們的權(quán)利。為了遏制艾滋病毒的蔓延，他們勇敢面對(duì)敏感問題。他們還常常帶頭提倡可持續(xù)性和綠色生活方式。The international community must continue to work together to expand the horizons of opportunity for these young women and men and answer their legitimate demands for dignity, development and decent work.Failing to invest in our youth is a false economy.Investments in young people will pay great dividends in a better future for

all.國際社會(huì)必須繼續(xù)共同努力，為這些青年男女?dāng)U展各種機(jī)會(huì)空間，回應(yīng)他們對(duì)尊嚴(yán)、發(fā)展和體面工作的合法需求。不對(duì)青年進(jìn)行投資，將是失敗的經(jīng)濟(jì)。而投資于青年將帶來豐厚回報(bào)，為所有人創(chuàng)造一個(gè)更

美好的未來。

This Day marks the end of the International Year of Youth, a milestone in global advocacy by and for the world’s young people.My hope is that this experience will now provide a foundation to go even further in harnessing the talents and energies of young people.To them I say: you have the opportunity to change our world.Seize it.在全世界青年參與為他們開展的全球宣傳中，國際青年年是一個(gè)里程碑。今天是國際青年年結(jié)束的日子。我希望通過此次活動(dòng)，為進(jìn)一步利用青年人的才智和能量打下基礎(chǔ)。我要對(duì)青年人說：你們有機(jī)會(huì)改

變世界，抓住機(jī)遇！

Secretary-General’s Message on World Literacy Day 秘書長國際掃盲日致辭 8 September 2013 2013年9月8日

More than 773 million young people and adults around the world cannot read this message.They are among the ranks of our fellow citizens who have not yet gained full literacy skills.They may not be able to fill out a job application, decipher a bus timetable or read a story aloud to their children.Two out of three are women who are denied this essential ingredient to full participation in society.全世界有7.73億以上的年青人和成年人不會(huì)念這份致辭。他們是我們的同胞，但卻還沒有充分掌握識(shí)字技能。他們可能無法填寫求職申請(qǐng)書、辨認(rèn)汽車時(shí)刻表或大聲朗讀故事給子女聽。其中三分之二是婦女，她們被剝奪了充分參與社會(huì)的這一基本要素。

In our knowledge-based era, literacy is a foundation for a more just, inclusive and sustainable world.It can advance all the Millennium Development Goals.Literacy enables people to gain access to information to improve their health and nutrition, widen their livelihood options, cope with environmental change and make informed choices.在我們這個(gè)立足于知識(shí)的時(shí)代，識(shí)字是實(shí)現(xiàn)一個(gè)更加公平、更具包容性和更可持續(xù)世界的基礎(chǔ)。識(shí)字可以推動(dòng)各項(xiàng)千年發(fā)展目標(biāo)，可以使人們獲取信息，改善自身的健康和營養(yǎng)，可以拓寬謀生手段，應(yīng)對(duì)環(huán)境變化和作出明智的選擇。

When we invest in learning and literacy, we invest in human dignity, development and peace.That is why I launched the Global Education First Initiative, which focuses on ensuring that every child can go to school.Worldwide at least 250 million primary-school–age children cannot read, write or count.Half of these girls and boys never make it to school or are pushed out before their fourth year.Another 200 million adolescents, including those who completed secondary school, do not have basic literacy skills--and so our initiative also focuses on improving the quality of education as well as fostering global citizenship.當(dāng)我們?yōu)閷W(xué)習(xí)和識(shí)字進(jìn)行投資時(shí)，我們是在投資于人的尊嚴(yán)、發(fā)展與和平。這就是我啟動(dòng)“教育第一全球倡議”，確保每名兒童都能上學(xué)的目的。全世界至少有2.5億小學(xué)學(xué)齡兒童不會(huì)讀寫或計(jì)算。其中半數(shù)男孩和女孩根本沒機(jī)會(huì)上學(xué)，或還沒有上到四年級(jí)就輟學(xué)了。另有2億青少年，包括上完中學(xué)的人沒有掌握基本的識(shí)字技能－因此，我們的倡議還側(cè)重于提高學(xué)習(xí)質(zhì)量，以及培養(yǎng)全球公民。

I urge all countries to make education and literacy national priorities and to work with partners across society to advance these goals.By promoting literacy, we can help millions of people write their own chapter of opportunity in their lives and our common future.我敦促所有國家將教育和識(shí)字作為國家優(yōu)先事項(xiàng)，與社會(huì)各界伙伴共同努力推動(dòng)這些目標(biāo)。通過促進(jìn)識(shí)字，我們可以幫助數(shù)以百萬計(jì)的人書寫他們?nèi)松臋C(jī)會(huì)篇章，并書寫我們共同的未來。

21UN Secretary-General's message on the International Day against Nuclear Tests New York, 29 August 2010

聯(lián)合國秘書長潘基文在禁止核試驗(yàn)國際日的致辭

2010年8月29日

This day marks the first observance of the International Day against Nuclear Tests, proposed in 2009 by the Government of Kazakhstan at the sixty-fourth session of the United Nations General Assembly.The fact that the proposal won unanimous support reflects the deep concern of the international community about the dangers posed by such tests.今天首次紀(jì)念禁止核試驗(yàn)國際日，國際日是哈薩克斯坦政府2009年在聯(lián)合國大會(huì)第六十四屆會(huì)議上提議設(shè)立的。有關(guān)提案獲得一致支持，表明國際社會(huì)深為關(guān)切這些試驗(yàn)帶來的危險(xiǎn)。

It was on 29 August 1991 that the President of Kazakhstan closed the test site at Semipalatinsk, where 456 nuclear tests conducted during the Cold War era devastated the landscape and left enduring effects on the local population.I witnessed this toxic legacy first-hand when I visited Semipalatinsk earlier this year.哈薩克斯坦總統(tǒng)是在1991年8月29日關(guān)閉塞米巴拉金斯克試驗(yàn)場(chǎng)的；冷戰(zhàn)期間在該地進(jìn)行的456次核試驗(yàn)毀壞了當(dāng)?shù)氐木坝^，對(duì)當(dāng)?shù)厝嗣癞a(chǎn)生了持久的影響。我今年早些時(shí)候到塞米巴拉金斯克時(shí)親眼看到了這個(gè)有毒的遺留物。

Today, with Kazakhstan having banished nuclear weapons and joined in creating a nuclear-weapon-free zone in Central Asia, Semipalatinsk has become a powerful symbol.It tells us that a world free of nuclear weapons is achievable.如今，由于哈薩克斯坦摒棄核武器并加入建立中亞無核武器區(qū)的工作，塞米巴拉金斯克已成為一個(gè)強(qiáng)有力的象征。它告訴我們，建立無核武器世界是一個(gè)可以實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)。

There is real momentum behind this great cause.This year, the successful conclusion

of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference invigorated the nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation regime.Bold initiatives by world leaders and civil society are showing the way toward changed policies and reduced arsenals.確有力量在推動(dòng)這一偉大的事業(yè)。今年，不擴(kuò)散核武器條約審議大會(huì)的順利結(jié)束為核裁軍和不擴(kuò)散機(jī)制增添了活力。世界領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人和民間社會(huì)提出的大膽倡議表明，要改變政策和削減武庫。

As we mark the first International Day against Nuclear Tests, I look forward to working with all partners to rein in spending on nuclear weapons and rid the world of the nuclear threat.A central pillar of this strategy is the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty(CTBT).Constraining research and development on nuclear weapons is a potentially powerful tool in strengthening the global nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament regime.在我們紀(jì)念第一個(gè)禁止核試驗(yàn)國際日之際，我期望同所有伙伴合作，控制核武器開支，消除世界上的核威脅。這一戰(zhàn)略的中心支柱是《全面禁止核試驗(yàn)條約》（全面禁試條約）。限制核武器的研究與開發(fā)可能是一個(gè)加強(qiáng)全球核不擴(kuò)散和核裁軍機(jī)制的有力工具。

The CTBT was adopted in 1996 but has yet to enter into force.I have called for a timeline of achieving this goal by 2012.Pending the treaty's entry into force, I urge all States to implement a moratorium on all nuclear explosions.《全面禁試條約》1996年獲得通過，但尚未生效。我已呼吁制定到2012年實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)的時(shí)間表。在條約生效之前，我敦促所有國家暫停所有核爆炸。

We cannot pass these challenges to succeeding generations.We must each do our part to build a safer, more secure world today.我們不能把這些挑戰(zhàn)留給后代。我們每個(gè)人都必須做出自己的努力，以創(chuàng)建一個(gè)更安全、更有保障的世界。

潘基文2011生物多樣性國際日致辭

Sunday is World Biodiversity Day.UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.星期天是生物多樣性國際日，聯(lián)合國秘書長潘基文發(fā)表致詞：

Conserving the planet's species and habitats is central to sustainable development.Yet the global decline in biodiversity is accelerating.The main causes are human activities.The consequences are devastating: failed crops, economic losses, less resilience in the face of disaster.養(yǎng)護(hù)地球上的物種和棲息地是可持續(xù)發(fā)展的核心。然而，全球生物多樣性的衰退正在加速，其主要原因是人類的活動(dòng)，其后果是災(zāi)難性的：作物歉收、經(jīng)濟(jì)損失、災(zāi)難面前的應(yīng)變能力降低。

As with most emergencies, those hardest hit are the poor.And climate change is compounding the problem.There are also the opportunity costs: what cures for disease, what other useful discoveries might we never know of, because a habitat is destroyed forever, or land is polluted beyond all use?

如同大多數(shù)緊急情況一樣，受災(zāi)最嚴(yán)重的仍是窮人。氣候的變化使問題更加復(fù)雜化。還有所謂的機(jī)會(huì)成本：什么東西能夠治愈疾病，還有其他有用的新發(fā)現(xiàn)，也許我們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)知道，因?yàn)闂⒌乇挥肋h(yuǎn)破壞，或土地被污染而沒法使用。

We have all heard of the web of life.We risk trapping ourselves in a web of death.But it is not too late to protect biodiversity so that future generations can enjoy the goods and services it provides.Together, we can build the foundations for a sustainable future.我們都聽過生命之網(wǎng)，我們正冒著被困在死亡之網(wǎng)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)?，F(xiàn)在開始保護(hù)生物多樣性還為時(shí)不晚。我們的子孫后代可以享受它所提供的物質(zhì)和服務(wù)，我們可以一起為可持續(xù)的未來奠定基礎(chǔ)。

UN Secretary-General's Message for International Day for Biological Diversity 2011May, 2011

聯(lián)合國秘書長潘基文2011生物多樣性國際日致辭

2011年5月22日

This year’s observance of the International Day for Biodiversity falls during the 2011

International Year of Forests, declared by the United Nations General Assembly to educate the global community about the value of forests and the extreme social, economic and environmental costs of losing them.在今年舉辦生物多樣性國際日紀(jì)念活動(dòng)，適逢今年是2011國際森林年。聯(lián)合國大會(huì)宣布今年為2011國際森林年，是為了讓全球社會(huì)了解森林的價(jià)值以及失去森林將產(chǎn)生的極端社會(huì)、經(jīng)濟(jì)和環(huán)境成本。

The benefits of forests are far-reaching.Forests catch and store water, stabilize soils, harbour biodiversity and make an important contribution to regulating climate and the greenhouse gases that are causing climate change.They generate profits for international businesses and provide essential income and resources for hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest people.Yet, despite our growing understanding and appreciation of just how much we reap from forests, they are still disappearing at an alarming rate.This year’s International Day for Biological Diversity is devoted to highlighting the need for urgent action.森林的益處久遠(yuǎn)綿長。森林聚水蓄水，穩(wěn)定土壤，涵養(yǎng)多種生物，并對(duì)調(diào)節(jié)氣候以及造成氣候變化的溫室氣體做出重要貢獻(xiàn)。森林為國際生意創(chuàng)造利潤，為全世界數(shù)以億計(jì)最貧窮的人民提供必不可少的收入和資源。我們?nèi)≈谏终呖芍^多矣。然而，盡管我們對(duì)這一點(diǎn)的理解和重視日益增加，森林仍然在以驚人的速度消失。今年的生物多樣性國際日則專門強(qiáng)調(diào)采取緊急行動(dòng)的必要性。

Last year, governments agreed on a new strategic plan for biodiversity at the Nagoya Biodiversity Summit in Aichi, Japan.The Aichi targets call for a significant reduction in the

rate of loss, degradation and fragmentation of all natural habitats, including forests, by 2020.One of the important tools agreed in Japan is the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization.Forests contain a vast – and barely catalogued – store of biodiversity.The early ratification and implementation of this Protocol can support forest protection and the sustainable use of biodiversity.This, in turn, can contribute to poverty alleviation and sustainable national development.去年，各國政府在日本愛知縣舉行的名古屋生物多樣性首腦會(huì)議上商定了一項(xiàng)新的生物多樣性戰(zhàn)略計(jì)劃。愛知目標(biāo)要求到2020年大幅度降低包括森林在內(nèi)的所有自然生境的喪失、退化和條塊分割速度。在日本商定的重要工具之一是《遺傳資源獲取以及利用遺傳資源所產(chǎn)生惠益公平公正分享問題名古屋議定書》。森林中蘊(yùn)藏的生物品類繁盛，但卻幾乎沒有進(jìn)行過分類登記。早日批準(zhǔn)和實(shí)施該議定書可以支持森林保護(hù)和生物多樣性的可持續(xù)利用。而這又可以促進(jìn)減貧和可持續(xù)的國家發(fā)展。

As the ongoing climate change negotiations demonstrate, awareness is growing that reducing deforestation and forest degradation can play a large part in our response to the combined threat of climate change, biodiversity loss and land degradation.I commend this renewed emphasis on the importance of forests to sustainable development.目前仍在繼續(xù)的氣候變化談判表明，人們?cè)絹碓角逍训卣J(rèn)識(shí)到，減少森林的砍伐和退化，在我們應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化、生物多樣性喪失和土地退化等問題的共同威脅方面可以發(fā)揮重大作用。我贊揚(yáng)這種一再強(qiáng)調(diào)森林對(duì)可持續(xù)發(fā)展的重要性的做法。

Nearly two decades ago, world leaders included the Rio Forest Principles as a major outcome of the Earth Summit, which also saw the birth of the Convention on Biological Diversity.Next year, governments will reconvene in Rio for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable

Development(Rio +20).As we look forward to this landmark conference, I urge all sectors of society to re-commit to the management, conservation and sustainable development of all types of forests for our collective future.將近20年以前，在地球問題首腦會(huì)議上，世界各國的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人把《里約森林原則》作為首腦會(huì)議的重大成果列入成果文件，《生物多樣性公約》也由此誕生。明年，各國政府將在里約再次聚首，召開聯(lián)合國可持續(xù)發(fā)展大會(huì)(里約+20)。在我們期待這次里程碑式大會(huì)之時(shí)，我敦促社會(huì)各界再做承諾，對(duì)所有各類森林加以管理、養(yǎng)護(hù)和可持續(xù)的開發(fā)，以造福我們共同的未來。
