巴勒姆·萨利赫(Barham Salih)是65岁的伊拉克前总统和库尔德难民,在萨达姆·侯赛因统治下遭受酷刑和流放后幸存下来,自2026年初起,他成为领导联合国难民事务高级专员的第一位前国家元首。 Barham Salih, a 65-year-old former Iraqi president and Kurdish refugee who survived torture and exile under Saddam Hussein, has become the first former head of state to lead the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, starting in early 2026. 在任期开始时,他访问了肯尼亚的Kakuma难民营,那里住着大约30万人,他在那里强调需要长期解决办法,如在母国实现经济一体化与和平。 He began his tenure with a visit to Kenya’s Kakuma refugee camp, home to about 300,000 people, where he stressed the need for long-term solutions like economic integration and peace in home countries. 由于全球难民人数目前为1.17亿,难民署面临重大资金削减和人员裁减,萨利赫呼吁提高效率,重新作出国际承诺,履行人道主义和法律义务。 With global refugee numbers now at 117 million and UNHCR facing major funding cuts and staff reductions, Salih called for greater efficiency and renewed international commitment to uphold humanitarian and legal obligations. 他的个人历史和政治经验决定了他对持久解决办法和问责制的侧重。 His personal history and political experience shape his focus on durable solutions and accountability.
