国际提高地雷意识和协助地雷行动日致辞
2012年4月4日

　　联合国地雷行动方案为冲突后恢复、人道主义救济努力、和平行动和发展举措作出宝贵贡献。这些方案使得地雷和其他爆炸物不至于在冲突结束后造成进一步滥杀滥伤损害，有助于将危险区化为可用土地，地雷行动使各个社区踏上持久和平的道路。

　　在利比亚，排雷行动的工作人员对地雷、集束弹药以及缺乏安全弹药储存地问题所构成的威胁作出了回应。学校、公路和居民区的数以千计战争遗留爆炸物得到安全处置或被排除。几万人接受了风险教育。

　　过去一年中，地雷行动执行方还协助阿尔巴尼亚、科特迪瓦和刚果民主共和国开展库存管理。最近，刚果的一个军火库发生了爆炸，这个灾难惨痛地提醒人们注意库存管理的必要性。

　　在今年的国际提高地雷意识日，我们将开展运动“借用我们的腿”，以向幸存者表示支持和同情。联合国将与各国当局和非政府组织密切合作，在40多个国家开展地雷风险教育和受害者援助工作，教育社区如何在雷患区安全生活，并协助残疾幸存者获得全方位服务和享有《残疾人权利公约》规定的各项权利。

　　我感谢各方为国际地雷行动做出贡献。我还向同意接受《禁止杀伤人员地雷公约》约束的159个国家、那些加入《集束弹药公约》和关于战争遗留爆炸物的《第五议定书》的国家以及批准《残疾人权利公约》的110个国家表示赞扬。

　　值此国际日，我呼吁普遍遵守这些重要条约，增加对提高地雷意识和地雷行动的支持。地雷和战争遗留爆炸物阻碍发展并危及生命。为建立一个安全可持续的世界，让我们一起来消除地雷和战争遗留爆炸物。

New York, 4 April 2012 - Secretary-General's message on the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action

United Nations mine action programmes make an invaluable contribution to post-conflict recovery, humanitarian relief efforts, peace operations and development initiatives. They prevent landmines and other explosive ordnance from causing further indiscriminate harm long after conflicts have ended, and help to transform danger zones into productive land. Mine action sets communities on course toward lasting stability.

In Libya, mine action personnel have responded to the threat posed by landmines, cluster munitions, and the lack of secure ammunition storage areas. Thousands of explosive remnants of war have been secured or cleared from schools, roads or residential areas, and tens of thousands of people have received risk education.

Over the past year, mine action operators have also been assisting in stockpile management in Albania, Côte d’Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The recent disaster in Congo Brazzaville, where an arms depot exploded, is a tragic reminder of the need for such management.

On this year’s International Day for Mine Awareness, we are “lending our legs” in a campaign to show support and compassion for survivors. Working closely with national authorities and non-governmental organizations, the United Nations is implementing mine risk education and victim assistance in more than 40 countries, teaching communities how to live safely in contaminated areas, and assisting survivors with disabilities to obtain access to the full range of services and rights enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

I thank all who contribute to international mine action. I also commend the 159 States that have agreed to be bound by the Antipersonnel Mine Ban Convention, those that have joined the Convention on Cluster Munitions and Protocol V on explosive remnants of war, and the 110 that have ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

On this International Day, I call for universal adherence to these important treaties and for increased support for mine awareness and mine action. Landmines and explosive remnants of war hamper development and endanger lives. Let’s eliminate them together for a safe sustainable world.
