On this very first International Day of Police Cooperation, I want to highlight the need for effective policing to keep our communities safe, and the vital importance of robust police cooperation across borders to respond to transnational threats such as organized crime and terrorism.
值此首個“警務合作國際日”之際,我要強調有效維持治安對于確保社區安全的必要性,以及通過開展強有力的警方跨境合作,應對有組織犯罪和恐怖主義等跨國威脅的極端重要性。
I commend those police professionals around the world who work to prevent and respond to crime while respecting and upholding human rights for all, and to co-operate across borders for a safer world. I also want to pay tribute to those conducting policing and other law enforcement activities in the service of the United Nations.
我贊揚世界各地致力于犯罪預防和案件處理的專業警務人員。他們同時還從事著尊重和維護人權的工作,積極開展跨境合作,以建立一個更加安全的世界。我還要向為聯合國執行警務和其他執法活動的人員致敬。
And I especially want to salute all the women in national policing institutions, including those in command and other high-level positions, who work tirelessly and sometimes in very difficult and hostile environments.
我尤其想致敬各國家警務機構中的所有婦女工作者們,包括擔任指揮官和其他高級職務的女領導們。她們即使身處非常困難和充滿敵意的環境,依舊不知疲倦地工作。
The theme of this International Day, Women in Policing, has been chosen because more inclusive policing guarantees better justice outcomes for everyone. More women in the police means better policing, better crime prevention, better investigations and improved human rights compliance. As I have consistently highlighted: to achieve justice, we need more women in justice.
之所以選擇“婦女參與警務工作”這一國際日主題,是因為更具包容性的警務工作能保證為每個人帶來更好的司法成果。更多婦女加入警察隊伍,就意味著能夠更好地維持治安、預防犯罪、開展調查以及改善遵守人權情況。正如我一直強調的:為了實現正義,我們需要更多的婦女參與。
Yet representation in police workforces around the world continues to lag behind. According to official data collected by UNODC, in 2021 the rate of women within the police ranged from 5% to 46% percent across 52 countries where data was available, with most countries' rates standing between 15% and 20%.
然而,世界各地警務人員中女性占比仍然落后。根據聯合國毒品和犯罪問題辦公室數據,2021年,52個國家的女警占比為5%到46%,大多數國家為15%到20%。
We can and must do better.
我們可以并且必須做得更好。
UNODC is committed to working with our partners to improve the recruitment and retention of women across all levels of policing, to support police reform for more effective, inclusive, and accountable policing, and to facilitate police cooperation across borders.
毒品和犯罪問題辦公室致力與伙伴們合作,改善各級警務部門對婦女的招聘和留用,支持警務改革,以實現更有效、包容和負責任的警務,并促進跨境合作。
