联合国秘书长潘基文2016年世界反对死刑日致辞

Let us be clear: participation in peaceful protests and criticism of a government – whether in private, on the Internet or in the media – are neither crimes nor terrorist acts. The threat or use of the death penalty in such cases is an egregious violation of human rights.

让我们明确声明：参加和平抗议和批评政府——无论是私下还是在网上或媒体上——都不是犯罪，也不是恐怖主义行为。对这种案件以死刑相威胁或使用死刑是明目张胆地侵犯人权。

Some may argue that capital punishment will diminish terrorism. This is not true. Experience has shown that putting terrorists to death serves as propaganda for their movements by creating perceived martyrs and making their macabre recruiting campaigns more effective.

一些人可能辩称，死刑会减少恐怖主义。此话不实。经验表明，将恐怖分子处死会使他们摇身一变成为烈士，并使他们阴森可怕的招募活动更有成效。

Maintaining the rule of law and respect for human rights – even in the face of terrorism and violent extremism – is an obligation that will boost society’s ability to address terrorist threats.

即使面对恐怖主义和暴力极端主义，维持法治和尊重人权也是一项应尽义务，将提高社会应对恐怖主义威胁的能力。

Let us continue our work to abolish the death penalty in all circumstances and places. Let our actions always be guided by the moral compass of human rights – the most effective route to a safer, more just and secure world.
