爱尔兰将成为第59个加入南极条约的国家.
Fianna Fáil TD Malcolm Byrne has introduced a bill to bring Ireland into the Antarctic Treaty System, making it the 59th country to join.
1959年签署的条约将南极洲指定为和平目的科学保护区, 禁止军事活动和资源开发.
The 1959 treaty designates Antarctica as a scientific preserve for peaceful purposes, banning military activity and resource exploitation.
伯恩引用爱尔兰与南极探险的历史联系,通过像爱德华·布朗斯菲尔德和弗朗西斯·克罗齐耶这样的人物,并强调加入将允许爱尔蘭科学家参与国际气候研究,天文学和海洋生物学.
Byrne cited Ireland’s historical ties to Antarctic exploration through figures like Edward Bransfield and Francis Crozier, and emphasized that joining would allow Irish scientists to participate in international research on climate, astronomy, and marine biology.
他指出爱尔兰是目前不参与条约的欧盟成员国中人口最多的国家, 此举将确认其致力于保护欧洲大陆免受化石燃料开发和促进全球科学合作.
He noted Ireland is the most populous EU member not currently part of the treaty, and the move would affirm its commitment to protecting the continent from fossil fuel development and promoting global scientific cooperation.
