美国宣称,联合国已宣布富有经验的阿尔及利亚外交官赫达尔·卜拉希米担任联合国和阿盟赴叙利亚新特使。卜拉希米是阿尔及利亚前外交部长,他接替本月初辞职的科菲·安南。
In announcing the appointment, the Secretary General said that the diplomacy to prompt a peaceful resolution of the Syrian conflict was a top priority for the UN. He added that Lakhdar Brahimi would need a strong, clear and unified support of the international community including the Security Council. The deep divisions over Syria in the Council was one of the main reasons Kofi Annan resigned the post. Diplomats said Mr. Brahimi had sought a strong endorsement from the Council before taking up the position, but the divide is seen as deep as ever.
秘书长宣布这一任命消息,他说用外交手段解决叙利亚冲突是联合国最优先考虑的办法。他说,赫达尔·卜拉希米需要包括安理会在内的国际社会的强有力的、明确统一的支持。安理会内部很深的分歧是科菲·安南辞职的主要原因之一。外交官们说卜拉希米在担任该职位之前在安理会里就有很强的支持度,但分歧似乎一如既往。
The French Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, has said that the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad does not deserve to be on the Earth. After visiting Syrian refugee camps in Turkey, Mr. Fabius said that the Syrian government had to be beaten fast.
