The Trump administration is committed to protecting and promoting the God-given dignity

特朗普政府致力於保護和促進上帝賦予的尊嚴。

Every individual has rights that  are inherent and inviolable.

每個人都有固有的、不可侵犯的權利。

They are given by God, and not by government.

它們是上帝給的，而不是政府給的。

Because of that, no government  must take them away.

正因為如此，任何政府都不能把它們奪走。

For decades, the United States has led  global efforts to promote human rights,

幾十年來，美國一直上司著促進人權的全球努力。

While we have seen improvements in  certain human rights situations,

雖然我們看到某些人權狀況有所改善。

for far too long we have waited  while that progress comes too slowly

我們已經等了很久，但進展卻太慢了

Too many commitments have gone unfulfilled.

President Trump wants to move the ball forward.

特朗普總統希望將球向前推進。

From day one, he has called out institutions or countries who say one thing and do another.

從第一天起，他就對那些說一套做一套的機構或國家進行了指責。

And that's precisely the problem at  the Human Rights Council.

而這正是人權理事會的問題所在。

As President Trump said  at the UN General Assembly:

正如特朗普總統在聯合國大會上所說：

“It is a massive source of embarrassment to  the United Nations that some governments

"一些國家政府的以下行為使聯合國感到十分尷尬：

with egregious human rights records  sit on the Human Rights Council.”

有嚴重人權記錄的人坐在人權理事會中"。

We have no doubt that there was once  a noble vision for this council.

我們毫不懷疑，這個理事會曾經有一個崇高的願景。

But today, we need to be honest – the Human Rights  Council is a poor defender of human rights.

但今天，我們需要坦誠--人權理事會是一個糟糕的人權維護者。

Worse than that, the Human Rights Council has  become an exercise in shameless hypocrisy –

更糟糕的是，人權理事會已成為一種無恥的虛偽行為--------。

with many of the world's worst  human rights abuses going ignored,

世界上許多最嚴重的侵犯人權行為被忽視；

and some of the world's most serious offenders  sitting on the council itself.

和一些世界上最嚴重的罪犯坐在理事會本身。

The only thing worse than a council that does  almost nothing to protect human rights

唯一比一個在保護人權方面幾乎無所作為的理事會更糟糕的是

is a council that covers for human rights abuses

是一個涵蓋侵犯人權行為的理事會。

and is therefore an obstacle to progress  and an impediment to change.

是以是進步的障礙和變革的阻礙。

The Human Rights Council enables abuses by absolving wrongdoers through silence

人權理事會通過保持沉默為不法分子開脫，從而使侵權行為得以發生。

and falsely condemning those  who have committed no offense.

A mere look around the world today demonstrates  that the council has failed in its stated objectives.

只要看看今天的世界，就會發現安理會沒有實現其既定目標。

Its membership includes authoritarian governments  with unambiguous and abhorrent human rights records,

其成員包括人權記錄明確、令人憎惡的專制政府。

There is no fair or competitive election process,

沒有公平或競爭性的選舉過程。

and countries have colluded with one another

to undermine the current method  of selecting members.

And the council's continued and well-documented bias  against Israel is unconscionable.

而安理會繼續對以色列抱有充分的偏見，這是不合情理的。

Since its creation, the council has adopted more resolutions condemning Israel

自成立以來，安理會通過了更多譴責以色列的決議。

than against the rest of the world combined.

The United States has no opposition in principle to  multilateral bodies working to protect human rights.

美國原則上不反對致力於保護人權的多邊機構。

We desire to work with our allies and  partners on this critical objective

我們希望與我們的盟友和夥伴合作實現這一重要目標。

that reflects America's commitment to freedom.

But when organizations undermine our national interests  and our allies, we will not be complicit.

但是，當一些組織損害我們的國家利益和盟友時，我們不會成為同謀。

When they seek to infringe on our national sovereignty, we will not be silent.

當他們試圖侵犯我們的國家主權時，我們不會保持沉默。

The United States – which leads the world in humanitarian assistance,

美國----它在人道主義援助方面處於世界領先地位。

and whose service members have sacrificed life and  limb to free millions from oppression and tyranny –

其軍人為使數百萬人擺脫壓迫和暴政而犧牲了生命和肢體，

will not take lectures form hypocritical  bodies and institution as Americans

不會像美國人那樣接受虛偽的機構和體制的教訓。

selflessly give their blood and  treasure to help the defenseless.

Ambassador Haley has spent more than a year

trying to reform the Human Rights Council.

She is the right leader to drive our efforts  in this regard at the United Nations

她是推動我們在聯合國進行這方面努力的正確領導人。

Her efforts in this regard have been tireless.

她在這方面做出了不懈的努力。

She has asserted American leadership on everything  from the Assad regime's chemical weapons use,

她在阿薩德政權使用化學武器等一切問題上都堅持美國的上司地位。

and the Iran-backed provocations  in the Middle East.

I will now turn it over to Ambassador Haley

with respect to the UN Human Rights Council.

AMBASSADOR HALEY: Thank you.  Good afternoon.

I want to thank Secretary Pompeo for his friendship  and his partnership and his leadership

我要感謝蓬佩奧國務卿的友誼、夥伴關係和上司能力。

當我們在這些問題上取得進展時。

One year ago, I traveled to the United Nations  Human Rights Council in Geneva.

一年前，我前往日內瓦的聯合國人權理事會。

On that occasion, I outlined the U.S. priorities for  advancing human rights and I declared our intent

在那次會議上，我概述了美國在促進人權方面的優先事項，我宣佈了我們的意圖。

to remain a part of the Human Rights Council  if essential reforms were achieved.

如果實現了必要的改革，則繼續成為人權理事會的一部分。

These reforms were needed in order to make  the council a serious advocate for human rights.

為了使理事會成為人權的嚴肅倡導者，需要進行這些改革。

For too long, the Human Rights Council has  been a protector of human rights abusers

長期以來，人權理事會一直是侵犯人權者的保護者。

Regrettably, it is now clear that our call  for reform was not heeded.

遺憾的是，現在我們的改革呼籲顯然沒有得到重視。

侵犯人權者繼續在理事會任職和當選。

The world's most inhumane regimes  continue to escape scrutiny,

and the council continues politicizing  and scapegoating of countries

with positive human rights records in an attempt  to distract from the abusers in their ranks.

試圖轉移其隊伍中虐待者的注意力。

Therefore, as we said we would do a year ago  if we did not see any progress,

是以，正如我們在一年前說過的，如果看不到任何進展，我們就會這樣做。

the United States is officially withdrawing  from the UN Human Rights Council.

美國正式退出聯合國人權理事會。

In doing so, I want to make it crystal clear that this step  is not a retreat from human rights commitments;

在這樣做的時候，我想明確指出，這一步驟並不是對人權承諾的退縮。

on the contrary, we take this step because  our commitment does not allow us

恰恰相反，我們邁出這一步是因為我們的承諾不允許我們......。

to remain a part of a hypocritical  and self-serving organization

When this administration began 17 months ago,

we were well aware of the enormous flaws  in the Human Rights Council.

我們很清楚人權理事會的巨大缺陷。

Instead, we made a good-faith effort  to resolve the problems.
