聯合國成員投票將俄羅斯自人權理事會中停權 UN members vote to suspend Russia from Human Rights Council

The Ukrainian government alleges that Russian soldiers are committing atrocities during Russia’s invasion of the country. After the Russian army withdrew from the city of Bucha, more and more disturbing photos have been released, showing plenty of civilian bodies abandoned in this area. These gruesome images have shocked people around the world.

In early April, the UN General Assembly voted to suspend Russia from the Human Rights Council for its violations and abuses of human rights. In the 193-member assembly, 93 countries voted in favor of the suspension of Russia, 24 voted against, and 58 abstained. Under the resolution, Russia will be removed from the body.

友善讓你懂 │ 解說:

 
烏克蘭政府指控,俄羅斯軍人在入侵烏克蘭期間,犯下了殘忍的暴行。在俄羅斯軍隊撤離布查地區之後,我們看到越來越多令人不安的照片,顯示在這個區域有大量的平民遺體在被殺害之後遭到棄置。這些恐怖的影像衝擊了世界各國人民。

四月上旬,聯合國大會針對俄羅斯犯下的人權迫害,進行投票表決是否要暫停其在聯合國人權理事會的資格。在這個擁有193個會員國的聯合國大會中,有93個國家投下贊成停權票,24國投下反對,而有58個國家棄權拒絕表態。依據表決結果,俄羅斯在人權理事會中將被停權。

輕鬆帶著走 │ 學習:

 
在投票表決時,我們常用 in favor表示「贊成」;against、opposite/oppose;表示「反對」;並以abstain/abstention 表示「棄權、不表態」。

例句:
They voted in favor of accepting the challenge.
他們投票通過接受這項挑戰。
