In a world plagued by conflict and division, World Press Freedom Day highlights a fundamental truth:
在這個飽受沖突和分歧困擾的世界里,世界新聞自由日凸顯了一個基本真理:
Freedom for people depends on freedom of the press.
民眾的自由有賴于新聞自由。
Free and independent journalism is an essential public good.
自由獨立的新聞業是一項不可或缺的公共產品。
It’s the backbone of accountability, justice, equality and human rights.
它是問責、正義、平等和人權的支柱。
Journalists everywhere must be able to report freely and without fear or favour.
必須讓世界各地的記者能夠無畏無懼、不偏不倚地開展自由報道。
When journalists are unable to work, we all lose.
如果記者無法開展工作,所有人都會受到損害。
Tragically, this is becoming more difficult every year.
令人痛心的是,記者的工作正變得越來越困難。
And more dangerous.
也越來越危險。
Journalists face attacks, detentions, censorship, intimidation, violence and even death – simply for doing their jobs.
記者僅僅因為開展本職工作,就可能面臨襲擊、拘禁、審查、恐嚇、暴力,甚至失去生命。
We are seeing a sharp rise in the number of journalists killed in conflict areas – particularly in Gaza.
我們看到,在沖突地區,特別是在加沙,殉職記者人數大幅上升。
And now – as this year’s theme reminds us – press freedom faces an unprecedented threat.
現在,正如今年的主題所強調的那樣,新聞自由正面臨前所未有的威脅。
Artificial intelligence can support freedom of expression – or stifle it.
人工智能既可能促進表達自由,也可能對其造成壓制。
Biased algorithms, outright lies, and hate speech are landmines on the information superhighway.
帶有偏見的算法、赤裸裸的謊言和仇恨言論成為信息高速公路上密布的地雷。
Accurate, verifiable, fact-based information is the best tool to defuse them.
準確、可核實、以事實為基礎的信息是化解這些問題的最佳工具。
The Global Digital Compact adopted last year includes concrete steps to strengthen international cooperation to promote information integrity, tolerance and respect in the digital space.
《全球數字契約》去年獲得通過,為加強國際合作以促進數字空間中的信息完整性、寬容和尊重提出了一系列具體措施。
AI must be shaped in a way that is consistent with human rights and puts facts first.
必須以符合人權、事實為先的方式發展人工智能。
And the Global Principles for Information Integrity I launched last year are supporting and informing this work as we push for a more humane information ecosystem.
我去年發布的《聯合國信息完整性全球原則》正在為這項工作提供支持和指引,推動我們共同構建一個更加人性化的信息生態系統。
On this World Press Freedom Day, let’s commit to make this a reality and safeguard press freedom and the press everywhere.
值此世界新聞自由日之際,讓我們承諾將這一愿景化為現實,維護世界各地的新聞自由和新聞事業。
