The United States and Norway are co-leading the Global Demining Initiative for Colombia. Unexploded ordnance 1 and mines continue to take thousands of lives. More than 11,000 Colombians have been wounded or killed by landmines 2 and unexploded ordnance over the past 25 years.


美国与挪威正在联合主导哥伦比亚的全球排雷行动。未燃爆的军火和地雷仍在夺走无数人的生命。在过去的25年终,超过1.1万哥伦比亚人呗地雷和未燃爆的军火所伤甚至致死


The demining initiative, said Secretary Kerry, is both a humanitarian 3 necessity and a boost to peace. In particular, demining will allow Colombia's farmers to reclaim 4 valuable farmland for productive uses as an alternative to coca leaf production – land which is now off limits because of the existence of landmines.


本次排雷行动,约翰克里说,既具有人道主义必要性,也能促进和平。尤其是排雷能让哥伦比亚的农民们重新获得宝贵的农田用以农事生产,代替古柯叶的生产——而由于地雷的存在,这些土地现在仍处于闲置


Years of experience have demonstrated that it takes time, money, experts, and hard work in order to identify and clear mines, and to educate the local populations about the dangers. The goal of the initiative is to raise international awareness 5, funds, and resources in order to help Colombia reach its Ottawa Convention goal of being landmine-free by 2021. At the ministerial, the United States and Norway, along with the European Union and 19 other countries collectively pledged $105 million to the initiative.


多年的经验已经证明,要确认地雷位置并扫除地雷,要教育当地人民了解地雷的危险,需要时间、资金、专家、辛苦工作的合力。本次排雷行动的目标就是要提升全球意识、增大资金和资源的投入,以助力哥伦比亚实现《渥太华禁雷公约》在2021年前无雷化的目标。在本次部长级会议上,美国、挪威与欧盟以及其他19个国家一道,承诺共同向该行动踢动1.05亿美元


The United States and Norway are committed to achieving lasting 6 results in demining not only in Colombia, but across the globe. Both countries envision a world where international peace and security can take root in places where landmines and unexploded ordnance are no longer a threat.


美国与挪威不仅致力于在哥伦比亚实现无雷化的持久目标,在全球范围内也是如此。两国都憧憬着全球和平与安全能在那些不再受地雷和未燃爆军火威胁的地区深深扎根
