en-us	GENEVA (23 March 2020) – Governments must ensure that their response to the COVID-19 pandemic does not contribute to xenophobia and racial discrimination, and must eradicate xenophobia  throughout all State policy and messaging, said E. Tendayi Achiume, UN Special Rapporteur on racism, on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. 
zh-cn	日内瓦（2020年3月23日）——值消除种族歧视国际日之际，当代形式种族主义、种族歧视、仇外心理和相关不容忍行为特别报告员滕达依·阿丘梅（E. Tendayi Achiume）表示，各国政府必须确保其应对2019冠状病毒病疫情大流行的措施不会助长仇外心理和种族歧视，并根除所有国家政策和讯息中的仇外言论。 

en-us	“Crises like the coronavirus pandemic remind us that we are all connected and that our well-being is interdependent. 
zh-cn	特别报告员指出：类似于此次新冠状病毒大流行的危机提醒我们，我们的命运息息相关，我们福祉相互依存。 

en-us	“It’s dismaying to witness State officials—including the President of the United States—adopting alternative names for the COVID-19 coronavirus.  
zh-cn	令我们感到沮丧的是，包括美国总统在内的多国官员使用其他名称来指代引发2019冠状病毒病的新冠状病毒。” 

en-us	Instead of using the internationally recognized name of the virus, these officials have adopted names with geographic references, typically referring to its emergence in China. 
zh-cn	这些官员使用了带有地域指称性（通常指该病毒产生于中国）而非国际公认的名称。 

en-us	“This sort of calculated use of a geographic-based name for this virus is rooted in and fosters racism and xenophobia.  
zh-cn	这种蓄意使用地名来称呼病毒的行为，其根源是种族主义和仇外心理，同时也助长了这些心理。 

en-us	In this case, it serves to isolate and stigmatize individuals who are or are perceived to be of Chinese or other East Asian descent. 
zh-cn	在此情形下，这种行为滋生了对那些是（或被认为是）中国人或其他东亚血统人士的孤立和成见。 

en-us	“Such irresponsible, discriminatory State rhetoric is no minor issue.  
zh-cn	这种不负责任、具有歧视性的国家言论不是一件小事。 

en-us	As noted by the World Health Organization in 2015: ‘disease names really do matter to the people who are directly affected ... certain disease names provoke a backlash against members of particular religious or ethnic communities ...  
zh-cn	正如世界卫生组织在2015年指出的那样：病名对直接受到影响的人们十分重要。我们看到有些病名引起了人们对特定宗教或者族裔群体的反撞...... 

en-us	This can have serious consequences for peoples’ lives and livelihoods’. 
zh-cn	这可能对人们的生活和生计造成严重后果。 

en-us	“These consequences have already become a reality.  
zh-cn	“现在，这些后果已经成为现实。 

en-us	Over the past two months, people who are perceived or known to be of Chinese or other East Asian descent have been subject to racist and xenophobic attacks related to the virus. 
zh-cn	在过去两个月，那些被认为（或得知）是中国人或其他东亚血统的人士遭受了与该病毒有关的种族主义和仇外心理的攻击。 

en-us	These attacks have ranged from hateful slurs to denial of services to brutal acts of violence. 
zh-cn	这些攻击包括：恶意诽谤、拒绝提供服务，以及野蛮的暴力行为。” 

en-us	“COVID-19-related expressions of racism and xenophobia online have included harassment, hate speech, proliferation of discriminatory stereotypes, and conspiracy theories. 
zh-cn	在线上，2019冠状病毒病相关的种族主义和仇外心理表现包括骚扰、仇恨言论、歧视性陈规定型的激增和阴谋论。 

en-us	Not surprisingly, leaders who are attempting to attribute COVID-19 to certain national or ethnic groups are the very same nationalist populist leaders who have made racist and xenophobic rhetoric central to their political platforms. 
zh-cn	毫不奇怪，那些试图将2019冠状病毒病归咎于特定国家或族裔的领导人正是那些奉行民族主义和民粹主义、将带有种族主义和仇外心里的花言巧语作为其政治平台核心的领导人。” 

en-us	“Political responses to the COVID-19 outbreak that stigmatize, exclude, and make certain populations more vulnerable to violence are inexcusable, unconscionable, and inconsistent with States’ international human rights law obligations. 
zh-cn	针对2019冠状病毒病爆发作出玷污、排斥并使特定人群更容易遭受暴力的政治回应是不能宽恕且不合情理的，违背了各国的国际人权法义务。 

en-us	“Furthermore, political rhetoric and policy that stokes fear and diminish the equality of all people is counterproductive.  
zh-cn	“此外，加重恐慌并减损人人平等的政治言论和政策会产生适得其反的效果。 

en-us	To treat and combat the spread of COVID-19 effectively, individuals must have access to accurate health advice and sufficient healthcare without fear of discrimination. 
zh-cn	为有效治疗和抗击2019冠状病毒病的传播，必须使个人能够获得准确的健康咨询和充足的医疗保健，而不必担心受到歧视。” 

en-us	“In commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, States should reaffirm our joint obligations to achieve equality for all and to acknowledge that our work remains unfinished.  
zh-cn	特别报告员指出，为纪念消除种族歧视国际日，各国应重申我们实现人人平等的共同义务，承认我们的未竟事业。 

en-us	As States across the world engage in their coordinated efforts to end this pandemic,  
zh-cn	当前，世界各国正为结束此次疫情大流行而协调努力。 

en-us	I call on all actors to ensure that their work contributes to a holistic concept of health and well-being, including freedom from racism and xenophobia.”
zh-cn	我呼吁所有行为者应确保其工作有利于健康和福祉的整体概念，包括消除种族主义和仇外心理。
