菲律宾总统杜特尔特威胁退出联合国

 　　Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has threatened to "separate" from the UN after it criticised his war on drugs as a crime under international law.

　　日前，菲律宾因打击毒贩而违反了国际法，备受批评。菲律宾总统罗德里格·杜特尔特却威胁称欲脱离联合国。

　　Mr Duterte said he might ask China and African nations to form another body. He also accused the UN of failing on terrorism, hunger and ending conflicts.

　　杜特尔特表示，他也许会联合中国和非洲国家组成另外一个组织。此外，他还指责了联合国在打击恐怖主义、结束饥饿和冲突方面的失败。

　　Mr Duterte, elected in May, has sanctioned the killing² of traffickers to try to wipe out the drugs trade.

　　杜特尔特在今年5月份选举成为菲律宾新总统，他批准在菲律宾捕杀毒贩，试图以此来消灭菲律宾的毒品贸易。

　　The UN has repeatedly condemned³ the drive as a violation⁴ of human rights.

　　联合国曾多次谴责这一行动侵犯了人权。

　　Last week, two UN human rights experts said Mr Duterte's directive for police and the public to kill suspected drug traffickers amounted to "incitement⁵ to violence and killing, a crime under international law".

　　上周，两名联合国人权专家表示，杜特尔特指示警察和公众杀死疑似毒贩的做法，等同于“煽动暴力和屠杀，是违反国际法的犯罪”。

　　In an expletives-laden tirade⁶ against the UN, Mr Duterte branded the experts "stupid", saying they should count the number of innocent lives lost to drugs.

　　在一篇反对联合国的檄文中，杜特尔特大骂这两名专家“愚蠢”，称他们真应该好好算一算那些因为毒品而死亡的无辜生命。

　　"I do not want to insult you. But maybe we'll just have to decide to separate from the United Nations," he said.

　　他说道：“我不想侮辱你们。但是也许，菲律宾将来不得不脱离联合国。”

　　"So take us out of your organisation⁷. You have done nothing. Where were you here the last time? Never. Except to criticise¹."

　　“所以让菲律宾脱离联合国吧！你们一事无成。你们之前在干什么呢？什么也没有！除了满口的仁义道德。”

　　Mr Duterte said the UN had been unable to combat hunger and terrorism and had failed to end the killing of civilians⁸ in Iraq and Syria.

　　杜特尔特表示，联合国在结束饥饿和打击恐怖主义方面毫无作为，并且也没有结束伊拉克和叙利亚平民遭屠杀的局面。

　　"You now, United Nations, if you can say one bad thing about me, I can give 10 about you. I tell you, you are useless. Because if you are really true to your mandate⁹, you could have stopped all these wars and killings¹⁰."

　　“现在，如果联合国能够列举出一件我做得不好的事情，那我就能列举出10件你做得不好的事情。我告诉你们，你们真是一点用都没有！因为如果你们真的完成了自己的任务的话，这些战争和杀戮可能已经不复存在了。”
