1、布什安理会发言60周年布什总统在联合国安理会60周年上的发言President Bush Addresses TO United Nations United Nations HeadquartersNew York, New York September 14, 2005THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Secretary General, Mr. President, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen: Thank you for the privilege of being here for the 60th anniversary

2、 of the United Nations. Thank you for your dedication to the vital work and great ideals of this institution. We meet at a time of great challenge for America and the world. At this moment, men and women along my countrys Gulf Coast are recovering from one of the worst natural disasters in American

3、history. Many have lost homes, and loved ones, and all their earthly possessions. In Alabama and Mississippi and Louisiana, whole neighborhoods have been lifted from their foundations and sent crashing into the streets. A great American city is working to turn the flood waters and reclaim its future

4、. We have witnessed the awesome power of nature - and the greater power of human compassion. Americans have responded to their neighbors in need, and so have many of the nations represented in this chamber. All together, more than 115 countries and nearly a dozen international organizations have ste

5、pped forward with offers of assistance. To every nation, every province, and every community across the world that is standing with the American people in this hour of need, I offer the thanks of my nation. Your response, like the response to last years tsunami, has shown once again that the world i

6、s more compassionate and hopeful when we act together. This truth was the inspiration for the United Nations. The U.N.s founding members laid out great and honorable goals in the charter they drafted six decades ago. That document commits this organization to work to save succeeding generations from

7、 the scourge of war, reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, and promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom. We remain committed to those noble ideals. As we respond to great humanitarian needs, we must actively respond to the other great challenges of our time. We mu

8、st continue to work to ease suffering, and to spread freedom, and to lay the foundations of lasting peace for our children and grandchildren. In this young century, the far corners of the world are linked more closely than ever before - and no nation can remain isolated and indifferent to the strugg

9、les of others. When a country, or a region is filled with despair, and resentment and vulnerable to violent and aggressive ideologies, the threat passes easily across oceans and borders, and could threaten the security of any peaceful country. Terrorism fed by anger and despair has come to Tunisia,

10、to Indonesia, to Kenya, to Tanzania, to Morocco, to Israel, to Saudi Arabia, to the United States, to Turkey, to Spain, to Russia, to Egypt, to Iraq, and the United Kingdom. And those who have not seen attacks on their own soil have still shared in the sorrow - from Australians killed in Bali, to It

11、alians killed in Egypt, to the citizens of dozens of nations who were killed on September the 11th, 2001, here in the city where we meet. The lesson is clear: There can be no safety in looking away, or seeking the quiet life by ignoring the hardship and oppression of others. Either hope will spread,

12、 or violence will spread - and we must take the side of hope. Sometimes our security will require confronting threats directly, and so a great coalition of nations has come together to fight the terrorists across the world. Weve worked together to help break up terrorist networks that cross borders,

13、 and rout out radical cells within our own borders. Weve eliminated terrorist sanctuaries. Were using our diplomatic and financial tools to cut off their financing and drain them of support. And as we fight, the terrorists must know that the world stands united against them. We must complete the Com

14、prehensive Convention on International Terrorism that will put every nation on record: The targeting and deliberate killing by terrorists of civilians and non-combatants cannot be justified or legitimized by any cause or grievance. And the worlds free nations are determined to stop the terrorists an

15、d their allies from acquiring the terrible weapons that would allow them to kill on a scale equal to their hatred. For that reason, more than 60 countries are supporting the Proliferation Security Initiative to intercept shipments of weapons of mass destruction on land, on sea, and in air. The terro

16、rists must know that wherever they go, they cannot escape justice. Later today, the Security Council has an opportunity to put the terrorists on notice when it votes on a resolution that condemns the incitement of terrorist acts - the resolution that calls upon all states to take appropriate steps t

17、o end such incitement. We also need to sign and implement the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism, so that all those who seek radioactive materials or nuclear devices are prosecuted and extradited, wherever they are. We must send a clear message to the rulers of

18、 outlaw regimes that sponsor terror and pursue weapons of mass murder: You will not be allowed to threaten the peace and stability of the world. Confronting our enemies is essential, and so civilized nations will continue to take the fight to the terrorists. Yet we know that this war will not be won

19、 by force of arms alone. We must defeat the terrorists on the battlefield, and we must also defeat them in the battle of ideas. We must change the conditions that allow terrorists to flourish and recruit, by spreading the hope of freedom to millions whove never known it. We must help raise up the fa

20、iling states and stagnant societies that provide fertile ground for the terrorists. We must defend and extend a vision of human dignity, and opportunity, and prosperity - a vision far stronger than the dark appeal of resentment and murder. To spread a vision of hope, the United States is determined

21、to help nations that are struggling with poverty. We are committed to the Millennium Development goals. This is an ambitious agenda that includes cutting poverty and hunger in half, ensuring that every boy and girl in the world has access to primary education, and halting the spread of AIDS - all by

22、 2015. We have a moral obligation to help others - and a moral duty to make sure our actions are effective. At Monterrey in 2002, we agreed to a new vision for the way we fight poverty, and curb corruption, and provide aid in this new millennium. Developing countries agreed to take responsibility fo

23、r their own economic progress through good governance and sound policies and the rule of law. Developed countries agreed to support those efforts, including increased aid to nations that undertake necessary reforms. My own country has sought to implement the Monterrey Consensus by establishing the n

24、ew Millennium Challenge Account. This account is increasing U.S. aid for countries that govern justly, invest in their people, and promote economic freedom. More needs to be done. I call on all the worlds nations to implement the Monterrey Consensus. Implementing the Monterrey Consensus means contin

25、uing on the long, hard road to reform. Implementing the Monterrey Consensus means creating a genuine partnership between developed and developing countries to replace the donor-client relationship of the past. And implementing the Monterrey Consensus means welcoming all developing countries as full

26、participants to the global economy, with all the requisite benefits and responsibilities. Tying aid to reform is essential to eliminating poverty, but our work doesnt end there. For many countries, AIDS, malaria, and other diseases are both humanitarian tragedies and significant obstacles to develop

27、ment. We must give poor countries access to the emergency lifesaving drugs they need to fight these infectious epidemics. Through our bilateral programs and the Global Fund, the United States will continue to lead the world in providing the resources to defeat the plague of HIV-AIDS. Today America i

28、s working with local authorities and organizations in the largest initiative in history to combat a specific disease. Across Africa, were helping local health officials expand AIDS testing facilities, train and support doctors and nurses and counselors, and upgrade clinics and hospitals. Working wit

29、h our African partners, we have now delivered lifesaving treatment to more than 230,000 people in sub-Sahara Africa. We are ahead of schedule to meet an important objective: providing HIV-AIDS treatment for nearly two million adults and children in Africa. At the G-8 Summit at Gleneagles, Scotland,

30、we set a clear goal: an AIDS-free generation in Africa. And I challenge every member of the United Nations to take concrete steps to achieve that goal. Were also working to fight malaria. This preventable disease kills more than a million people around the world every year - and leaves poverty and g

31、rief in every land it touches. The United States has set a goal of cutting the malaria death rate in half in at least 15 highly endemic African countries. To achieve that goal, weve pledged to increase our funding for malaria treatment and prevention by more than $1.2 billion over the next five year

32、s. We invite other nations to join us in this effort by committing specific aid to the dozens of other African nations in need of it. Together we can fight malaria and save hundreds of thousands of lives, and bring new hope to countries that have been devastated by this terrible disease. As we stren

33、gthen our commitments to fighting malaria and AIDS, we must also remain on the offensive against new threats to public health such as the Avian Influenza. If left unchallenged, this virus could become the first pandemic of the 21st century. We must not allow that to happen. Today I am announcing a new International Partn
