國際反腐敗日致辭

2016年12月9日

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is the world’s inspiring new manifesto for transforming our world and building a better future for all. But as we undertake this crucial journey of implementation, a broad barrier stands in our path: corruption.
國際社會以《2030年可持續發展議程》發出了鼓舞人心的新宣言，要讓世界改觀，要爲所有人建設更美好的未來。然而，就在我們踏上落實《議程》這一重要征程之際，一道巨大的障礙擋住了去路，那就是腐敗。

No country is immune, and every country bears a responsibility to end it.
每個國家都有腐敗，每個國家都有責任制止腐敗。

Corruption strangles people, communities and nations. It weakens education and health, undermines electoral processes and reinforces injustices by perverting criminal justice systems and the rule of law. By diverting domestic and foreign funds, corruption wrecks economic and social development and increases poverty. It harms everyone, but the poor and vulnerable suffer most.
腐敗損害民衆，危害社區，禍害國家。它破壞教育和衛生事業，敗壞選舉程序，毀壞刑事司法制度和法治，加重不公正現象。腐敗者挪用國內外資金，挫敗經濟和社會發展，加重貧窮現象。腐敗傷害所有人，但窮人和弱勢羣體首當其衝、受害最深。

The theme of this year’s observance is “Corruption: An impediment to the Sustainable Development Goals”. Goal 16 urges substantial reductions in corruption and bribery and the development of effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels. The UN Convention against Corruption, buttressed by its peer review mechanism, is mobilizing action for honest, transparent, accountable governance, but far more is needed.
今年反腐敗日活動的主題是“腐敗：實現可持續發展目標的絆腳石”。可持續發展目標16敦促大幅減少腐敗和賄賂現象，同時在各級建立有效、負責、透明的機構。《聯合國反腐敗公約》在同行審議機制推助下，爲動員各方採取行動實現誠實、透明、負責任的治理髮揮作用。但是，這還遠遠不夠。

On International Anti-corruption Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to ending the deceit and dishonesty that threaten the 2030 Agenda and our efforts to achieve peace and prosperity for all on a healthy planet.
值此國際反腐敗日之際，讓我們重申關於制止欺騙和欺詐行爲的決心，絕不允許腐敗危及《2030年議程》的落實，絕不允許其危及我們爲實現全球人人獲得健康、和平、繁榮所作的努力。
