en-us	UN human rights experts made an urgent appeal for governments to commit to racial equity and racial equality in providing health services for all during the COVID-19 crisis or risk a higher death rate because of discrimination. 
zh-cn	联合国人权专家紧急呼吁各国政府致力于种族公平和种族平等，在2019冠状病毒病危机期间为所有人提供医疗服务，否则将可能因为歧视而导致更高的死亡率。 

en-us	The Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent said in a statement published today that structural discrimination could exacerbate inequality in access to health care and treatment,  
zh-cn	非洲裔问题专家工作组在今天发表的声明中表示，结构性歧视可能会加剧获得医护和治疗的不平等， 

en-us	leading to racial disparities in health outcomes and increased mortality and morbidity for people of African descent. 
zh-cn	由此导致卫生成效在不同种族中的差异，增加非洲人后裔的死亡率和发病率。 

en-us	“Despite robust responses, States have not recognised the specific health risks faced by people of African descent or how racial discrimination and implicit bias and racial stereotypes may pervade policy,” said the Working Group’s chair, Ahmed Reid. 
zh-cn	工作组主席艾哈迈德·里德（AhmedReid）表示：尽管各国已作出了有力应对，但仍未认识到非洲人后裔面临的具体健康风险，也没有认识到种族歧视、隐性偏见和种族陈规定型观念可能渗透到政策中。 

en-us	The human rights expert stressed that another problem was the lack of representation at high levels. 
zh-cn	人权专家强调，另一个问题是非洲人后裔在高层代表中的人数不足。 

en-us	“This thwarts the leveraging of expertise and protection toward the needs of people of African descent in response to COVID-19.” 
zh-cn	这阻碍了通过发挥专门知识和保护的作用来满足非洲人后裔在应对2019冠状病毒病时的需求。 

en-us	The Working Group emphasized that governments should examine how the use of discretion, without adequate guidance, impacts risk and vulnerability in the crisis on the basis of race.  
zh-cn	工作组强调，各国政府应审查在缺乏充分指导的情况下在此次危机中使用自由裁量权对种族风险和脆弱性的影响。 

en-us	Already, where disaggregated data does exist, stark racial disparities are evident. 
zh-cn	在已建立分类数据的方面，种族差异尤为显著。 

en-us	“Interventions that appear neutral on their face may license or facilitate racial bias, without care and attention.  
zh-cn	里德表示：表面上看起来中立的干预措施可能会在无人问津的情况下允许或助长种族偏见。  

en-us	Thus far, no protection efforts have focused the public health response on the specific vulnerabilities of people of African descent,” Reid said.  
zh-cn	迄今为止，没有任何保护工作将公共卫生应对措施的重点放在非洲人后裔的具体脆弱性上。 

en-us	“This also raises the parallel concern that even research and knowledge production in response to this crisis may overlook specific barriers to care or the racially discriminatory impact of policy.” 
zh-cn	这也引起了同样的关切，即使是应对这场危机的研究和知识生产也可能忽视具体的医疗障碍或政策的种族歧视影响。 

en-us	In their statement, the Working Group noted: “Stressed and overwhelmed healthcare workers and local leadership need more guidance, not less, to prevent racial discrimination at this critical time, including disaggregated data to ensure equitable treatment.” 
zh-cn	工作组在其声明指出：压力过大、不堪重负的医护人员和地方领导需要更多指导，以在此关键时刻避免种族歧视，包括利用分类数据以确保公平的治疗。 

en-us	Disproportionate numbers of people of African descent work in service industries, live in densely populated communities, face food and water insecurity, and often lack access to secure housing.   
zh-cn	数量格外多的非洲人后裔从事服务业，居住在人口稠密的社区，面临粮食和水不安全问题，而且往往无法获得有保障的住房。 

en-us	These are additional sources of risk and vulnerability. 
zh-cn	这些也是导致风险和脆弱性的原因。

en-us	In many States, people of African descent disproportionately serve as home health aides, carers and delivery personnel who help hospitals and health care systems focus on the most serious cases, despite no public efforts to ensure their safety and protection.” 
zh-cn	在许多国家，过多的非洲人后裔从事家庭医疗助理、护理和接生工作，帮助医院和医护系统关注最严重的病情，国家却没有投入任何公共努力来确保他们的安全和保护。 

en-us	The Working Group said the disproportionate presence of people of African descent in jails and prisons and in camps for refugees and the internally displaced in many parts of the world was particularly concerning, given the extreme contagion, the lack of protective measures, and the use of incarcerated people’s labor.  
zh-cn	工作组表示，在世界许多地区，居住在看守所、监狱、难民营和境内流离失所者营地的非洲人后裔数量非常大，鉴于这些环境面临着极端传染风险、缺乏保护措施、将入狱者作为劳动力，这尤其令人关切。 

en-us	“The ongoing availability of people of African descent to serve in this crisis should not be construed as disposability. 
zh-cn	非洲人后裔时刻准备着在这场危机中发挥作用，但我们不应将此视为一次性的消耗品。 

en-us	“States using this pandemic to suspend or roll back human rights relating to affirmative action, the environment, public health, criminal justice,  
zh-cn	里德表示：一些国家利用此次大流行病中止或减少与平权行动、环境、公共卫生、刑事司法和治理有关的人权， 

en-us	and governance generally disproportionately impair people of African descent in ways that will persist long after the crisis is resolved,” Reid said. 
zh-cn	通常不成比例地损害了非洲人后裔的权利，而且这种损害在危机解决后仍将长期存在。 

en-us	The Working Group welcomed the robust responses to the COVID-19 pandemic but urged governments to recognise the equal urgency of human rights in ordinary times,  
zh-cn	工作组欢迎对2019冠状病毒病大流行作出的有力应对，但仍敦促各国政府认识到，平常时期的人权同样紧迫， 

en-us	and ensure access to education, housing, internet, health care, and basic needs at all times, and for all people.
zh-cn	应确保所有人随时都能获得教育、住房、互联网、医护和其他基本需要。
