第三国难民安置方案并非长久之计
U.S. Ambassador to Nepal Alaina Teplitz recently met with and bid farewell to Ms. Sahri Maya Thatal, the 90,000th Bhutanese refugee to be resettled in the United States. Ms. Thatal and her four children left Nepal on September 21 to start their new lives in the northeastern state of New Hampshire. Ambassador Teplitz visited the Beldangi Bhutanese Refugee Camp in Jhapa last week where she discussed the third-country resettlement program which is close to completion.
近日，美国驻尼泊尔大使阿莱娜会晤并送别第9万名安居美国的不丹难民萨里。萨里和她的四个孩子是9月21日离开尼泊尔，去往美国东北部新罕布什尔州开启新生活的。上周，阿莱娜访问了不丹贝尔当吉（Beldangi）难民营，在那里，阿莱娜谈及即将接近尾声的第三国安置计划。
In a ceremony at the U.S. Embassy, Ms. Thatal shared her hopes for new opportunities for herself and her children in the United States after spending over 20 years in a refugee camp. Paul Norton, Chief of Mission for the International Organization for Migration, the IOM, and Kevin Allen, Country Representative for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, or UNHCR, joined Ambassador Teplitz in bidding farewell to Ms. Thatal. The total number of Bhutanese refugees who have been resettled to third countries has reached 105,000, with 90,000 in the United States.
在美国大使馆的仪式上，萨里分享了在难民营生活20余年后，对于在美国开启新生活中对自己和自己的孩子们所享受新机遇的希望。国际移民组织（IOM）主席保罗、联合国难民署（UNHCR）国家代表凯文与阿莱娜一道为萨里送别。目前为止，安居第三国家的不丹难民总数已达10.5万，其中有9万安置在美国。
The United States, in coordination with the government of Nepal, UNHCR, IOM, and the governments of Australia, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom began resettling Bhutanese refugees from eastern Nepal in 2007.
美国与尼泊尔政府、联合国难民署、国际移民组织、澳大利亚、加拿大、丹麦、荷兰、新西兰、挪威、英国等国政府一道，于2007年开始安置来自尼泊尔东部的不丹难民。
“The Nepali people and government have been very gracious hosts to refugees for decades and the third-country resettlement of Bhutanese refugees is one of the most successful refugee management stories in recent memory,” said Ambassador Teplitz.
"几十年来，尼泊尔人民和尼泊尔政府一直热情接待难民，而对不丹难民的第三国安置方式是近年来最成功的难民安置方式之一"，阿莱娜如是说道。
“However, the massive resettlement program is coming to an end. While the international community continues to ask the Government of Bhutan to repatriate those refugees who would like to return, finding a durable solution here in Nepal for those who will remain is critical.”
"不过，大规模的安置计划也将结束。随着国际社会持续要求不丹政府遣返难民回国，为想要留在尼泊尔的难民寻求长久之计十分关键"。
