联合国权利机构面临危机,因为资金削减迫使重大业务削减。
UN rights agency faces crisis as funding cuts force major operational reductions.
2026年2月5日, 联合国人权主任Volker Turk警告说, 由于4亿美元的资金短缺, 其办公室以“生存模式”运作,
UN human rights chief Volker Turk warned on February 5, 2026, that his office is operating in "survival mode" due to a $400 million funding shortfall, citing sharp declines in voluntary contributions from major Western donors, including the U.S., France, and Britain.
这些削减迫使该机构将监测任务减少到2024年的一半以下,削减了300名工作人员,并在包括缅甸、哥伦比亚和乍得在内的17个国家扩大了支助行动。
The cuts have forced the agency to reduce monitoring missions to less than half of 2024 levels, cut staff by 300, and scale back operations in 17 countries, including Myanmar, Colombia, and Chad.
战争罪调查方案、性别暴力方案和男女同性恋、双性恋、变性者和变性者权利方案被削减了高达75%。
Programs on war crimes investigations, gender-based violence, and LGBTIQ+ rights were slashed by up to 75%.
Turk强调,尽管在乌克兰、加沙和刚果民主共和国等冲突地区持续开展重要工作,但资金不足使侵犯人权行为得以不受控制,并破坏了全球问责制。
Turk stressed that underfunding enables human rights abuses to go unchecked and undermines global accountability, despite continued critical work in conflict zones like Ukraine, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
