世界难民日致辞
20 June 2016
6月20日
Forced displacement has reached unPcedented levels, with more than 65 million people uprooted from their homes globally. New and recurring conflicts, and ever-more disturbing forms of violence and persecution, are driving people to flee in search of safety within their own countries, or to cross international borders as asylum seekers or refugees. Others are living in long-term exile, as solutions to protracted conflicts remain elusive. At the end of 2015, there were 21.3 million refugees, 3.2 million people in the process of seeking asylum, and 40.8 million people internally displaced within their own countries.
被迫流离失所已达到前所未有的水平，世界各地有6500多万人背井离乡。新的和反复出现的冲突以及愈发更令人不安的各种形式的暴力和迫害，迫使人们为寻求安全而在本国境内或跨越国际边界逃亡，成为寻求庇护者或难民。其他人则因旷日持久的冲突仍无望解决而生活在长期流亡中。截至2015年底，共有2130万难民，320万人在寻求庇护，4080万人在本国境内流离失所。
World Refugee Day is a moment for taking stock of the devastating impact of war and persecution on the lives of those forced to flee, and honouring their courage and resilience. It is also a moment for paying tribute to the communities and States that receive and host them, often in remote border regions affected by poverty, instability and underdevelopment, and beyond the gaze of international attention. Nine out of ten refugees are today living in poor and middle income countries close to situations of conflict.
在这世界难民日之际，我们应对战争和迫害给被迫逃离者的生活带来的破坏性影响作出评估，对他们的勇气和毅力表示敬佩。此时此刻，我们也要对接受和收容他们的社区和国家表示赞扬。这些逃离者往往驻留在贫困、不稳定和欠发达的偏远边界地区，不为国际社会所关注。今天，每十个难民中就有九人生活在濒临冲突局势的贫穷和中等收入国家。
Last year, more than 1 million refugees and migrants arrived in Europe across the Mediterranean, in unseaworthy dinghies and flimsy boats. Thousands did not make it ? tragic testimony to our collective failure to properly address their plight. Meanwhile, pisive political rhetoric on asylum and migration issues, rising xenophobia, and restrictions on access to asylum have become increasingly visible in certain regions, and the spirit of shared responsibility has been replaced by a hate-filled narrative of intolerance. We see a worrisome increase in the use of detention and in the construction of fences and other barriers.
