"2 - تعلن معارضتها الجازمة لأعمال التدخل والعدوان والاحتلال العسكرية الأجنبية لأنها تؤدي إلى قمع حق الشعوب في تقرير المصير وغيره من حقوق الإنسان في بعض أنحاء العالم؛",
"3 - تهيب بالدول المسؤولة عن هذه الأعمال أن توقف فورا تدخلها العسكري في البلدان والأراضي الأجنبية واحتلالها لها وكل أعمال القمع والتمييز والاستغلال وسوء المعاملة، وخصوصا الأساليب الوحشية واللاإنسانية التي تفيد التقارير بأنها تستخدم لتنفيذ تلك الأعمال ضد الشعوب المعنية؛",

"66/150 - التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة",
"إن الجمعية العامة،",
"إذ تعيد تأكيد أنه لا يجوز إخضاع أحد للتعذيب أو غيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة،",
"وإذ تشيـر إلى أن عدم التعرض للتعذيب ولغيـره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة حق غير قابل للتقيـيـد بموجب القانون الدولي، بما في ذلك القانون الدولي لحقوق الإنسان والقانون الإنساني الدولي، وأنه لا بد من احترامه وحمايته في جميع الظروف، بما في ذلك في أوقات النزاعات المسلحة أو الاضطرابات الدولية أو الداخلية أو أي حالة طوارئ عامة أخرى، وأن الحظر التام للتعذيب وغيـره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة تم تأكيده في الصكوك الدولية ذات الصلة بالموضوع، وأن الضمانات القانونية والإجرائية بعدم ممارسة تلك الأعمال يجب ألا تخضع لتدابير من شأنها الالتفاف على هذا الحق،",
"وإذ تشير أيضا إلى أن حظر التعذيب قاعدة قطعية من قواعد القانون الدولي وأن المحاكم الدولية والإقليمية والمحلية اعتبرت أن حظر المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة من صميم القانون الدولي العرفي،",
"وإذ تشير كذلك إلى تعريف التعذيب الوارد في المادة 1 من اتفاقية مناهضة التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانيـة أو المهينـة⁽[1]⁾، دون المساس بأي صك دولي أو تشريع وطني يحتوي أو قد يحتوي على أحكام أوسع نطاقا من حيث التطبيق،",
"وإذ تشدد على أهمية التفسير السليم لالتزامات الدول فيما يتعلق بالتعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة وأهمية الوفاء بها على الوجه الصحيح والتقيد بدقة بتعريف التعذيب الوارد في المادة 1 من الاتفاقية،",
"وإذ تلاحظ أن التعذيب والمعاملة اللاإنسانية يمثلان انتهاكا جسيما بموجب اتفاقيات جنيف لعام 1949⁽[2]⁾ وأن أعمال التعذيب يمكن أن تشكل جرائم ضد الإنسانية بل وجرائم حرب إذا ارتكبت في حالة نزاع مسلح، بموجب النظام الأساسي للمحكمة الدولية لمحاكمة الأشخاص المسؤولين عن الانتهاكات الجسيمة للقانون الإنساني الدولي التي ارتكبت في إقليم يوغوسلافيا السابقة منذ عام 1991 والنظام الأساسي للمحكمة الجنائية الدولية لمحاكمة الأشخاص المسؤولين عن أعمال الإبادة الجماعية وغير ذلك من الانتهاكات الجسيمة للقانـون الإنساني الدولي المرتكبة في إقليم رواندا والمواطنين الروانديين المسؤولين عن أعمال الإبادة الجماعية وغيرها من الانتهاكات المماثلة المرتكبة في أراضي الدول المجاورة بين 1 كانون الثاني/يناير و 31 كانون الأول/ديسمبر 1994 ونظام روما الأساسي للمحكمة الجنائية الدولية⁽[3]⁾،",
"وإذ ترحب ببدء نفاذ الاتفاقية الدولية لحماية جميع الأشخاص من الاختفاء القسري⁽[4]⁾ التي سيسهم تنفيذها بشكل كبير في منع التعذيب وحظره، بوسائل منها حظر أماكن الاحتجاز السرية، وإذ تشجع جميع الدول التي لم توقع الاتفاقية أو تصدق عليها أو تنضم إليها على النظر في القيام بذلك،",
"وإذ تشيد بالجهود الدؤوبـة التي تبذلها منظمات المجتمع المدني، بما فيها المنظمات غير الحكومية والمؤسسات الوطنية لحقوق الإنسان والآليات الوقائية الوطنية والشبكة الكبيرة لمراكز تأهيل ضحايا التعذيب، في سبيل منع التعذيب ومكافحته وتخفيف معاناة ضحاياه،",
"وإذ يساورها بالغ القلق إزاء جميع الأعمال التي يمكن أن تصل إلى حد التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة التي ترتكب ضد الأشخاص الذين يمارسون حقهم في التجمع السلمي وحرية التعبير في جميع أنحاء العالم،",
"1 - تديــن جميع أشكال التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة، بوسائل منها التخويــف، التي هي محظورة وستظـل محظورة في كل زمان ومكان ولا يمكن من ثم تبريرهـا أبـدا، وتهيــب بجميـع الدول أن تنفذ تنفيذا كاملا الحظر المطلق وغير القابل للتقييد للتعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة؛",
"2 - تشدد على ضرورة أن تواظب الدول على اتخاذ تدابير حازمة وفعالة لمنع كل أعمال التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة ومكافحتها، وتؤكد وجوب تجريم جميع أعمال التعذيب بموجب القانون الجنائي المحلي، وتشجع الدول على أن تحظر، بموجب القانون المحلي، الأعمال التي تشكل معاملة أو عقوبة قاسية أو لاإنسانية أو مهينة؛",
"3 - ترحب بإنشاء آليات وقائية وطنية لمنع التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة، وتحث الدول على أن تنظر في إنشاء أو تسمية آليات مستقلة وفعالة مؤهلة للقيام بزيارات رصد إلى أماكن الاحتجاز، لأغراض منها منع وقوع أعمال التعذيب أو غيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة، أو الإبقاء على ما هو قائم منها أو تعزيزها، وتهيب بالدول الأطراف في البروتوكول الاختياري لاتفاقية مناهضــة التعذيــب وغيــره مـــن ضــروب المعاملة أو العقوبــة القاسيــة أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينــة⁽[5]⁾ الوفاء بالتزاماتها بتسمية أو إنشاء آليات وقائية وطنيــة مستقلة وفعالة حقا؛",
"4 - تشدد على أهمية أن تكفل الدول إجراء متابعة مناسبة للتوصيات والاستنتاجات التي تصدر عن الهيئات والآليات المعنية المنشأة بموجب معاهدات، بما يشمل لجنة مناهضة التعذيب واللجنة الفرعية لمنع التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة والمقرر الخاص لمجلس حقوق الإنسان المعني بالتعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة؛",
"5 - تدين أي عمل أو محاولة تقوم بها الدول أو يقوم بها الموظفون الرسميون لإضفاء صبغة شرعية على التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة أو الإذن بارتكابها أو قبولها ضمنا في أي ظرف من الظروف، بما في ذلك لدواعـي الأمن القومي أو عن طريق اتخاذ قرارات قضائيـة، وتحث الدول على كفالة محاسبة المسؤولين عن جميع تلك الأعمال؛",
"6 - تشجع الدول على النظر في إنشاء عمليات وطنية ملائمة لتسجيـل ادعاءات التعذيـب وغيـــره مــن ضـروب المعاملــة أو العقوبــة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة أو الإبقاء على ما هو قائم منها؛",
"7 - تؤكد وجوب أن تحقق سلطة وطنية مختصة مستقلة على الفور وبفعالية ونزاهة في جميع الادعاءات بوقوع تعذيب أو غيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة وحيثما يكون هناك سبب وجيه للاعتقاد بارتكاب أعمال كهذه، ووجوب أن يتحمل المسؤولية عنها الأشخاص الذين يشجعون على هذه الأعمال أو يأمرون بارتكابها أو يتغاضون عنها أو يرتكبونها، بمن فيهم الموظفون المسؤولون عن أي من أماكن الاحتجاز أو الأماكن الأخرى التي يحرم فيها الأشخاص من حريتهم ويثبت أن الأعمال المحظورة ارتكـبت فيها، وأن يقدموا للمحاكمة ويعاقبوا بما يتناسب وخطورة الجريمة المرتكبة؛",
"8 - تشير، في هذا الصـدد، إلى المبادئ المتعلقة بالتقصي والتوثيق الفعالين بشأن التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة (مبادئ اسطنبول)⁽[6]⁾، باعتبارها أداة مفيدة في الجهود الرامية إلى منع التعذيب ومكافحته، وإلى مجموعة المبادئ المستكملة لحماية حقوق الإنسان وتعزيزها من خلال اتخاذ إجراءات لمكافحة الإفلات من العقاب⁽[7]⁾؛",
"9 - تهيب بجميع الدول أن تنفذ تدابير فعالة لمنع التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة، وخصوصا في أماكن الاحتجاز والأماكن الأخرى التي يحرم فيها الأشخاص من حريتهم، بما في ذلك توفير الضمانات القانونية والإجرائية وتثقيف الموظفين الذين قد تكون لهم علاقة بحبس أي فـرد خاضع لأي شكل من أشكال الاعتقال أو الاحتجاز أو السجن أو استجوابه أو معاملته وتدريبهم؛",
"10 - تحث الدول على أن تعمل، بوصف ذلك عنصرا هاما في منع ومكافحة التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة، على ضمان ألا تأمر أي سلطة أو يأمر أي مسؤول بإنزال أي عقوبة أو إلحاق الأذى بأي شخص أو منظمة بسبب الاتصال بأي هيئة وطنية أو دولية من هيئات الرصد أو المنع العاملة في مجال منع ومكافحة التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة، أو يعمل على ذلك أو يسمح به أو يتغاضى عنه؛",
"11 - تهيب بجميع الدول اعتماد نهج يراعي المنظور الجنساني في مكافحة التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة، مع إيلاء اهتمام خاص للعنف القائم على أساس نوع الجنس؛",
"12 - تهيب بالدول أن تكفل مراعاة حقوق الأشخاص ذوي الإعاقة بصورة كاملة في تدابير منع التعذيب والحماية منه، واضعة في اعتبارها اتفاقية حقوق الأشخاص ذوي الإعاقة⁽[8]⁾، وترحب بجهود المقرر الخاص في هذا الصدد؛",
"13 - تشجع جميع الدول على كفالة عدم مشاركة الأشخاص المدانين بتهمة التعذيب أو غيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة لاحقا في حبس أي شخص قيد الاعتقال أو الاحتجاز أو السجن أو أي شكل آخر من أشكال الحرمان من الحرية أو استجوابه أو معاملته وعدم مشاركة الأشخاص المتهمين بالتعذيب أو غيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة في حبس أي شخص قيد الاعتقال أو الاحتجاز أو السجن أو أي شكل آخر من أشكال الحرمان من الحرية أو استجوابه أو معاملته ريثما يبت في تلك الاتهامات؛",
"14 - تشدد على أن أعمال التعذيب في النـزاع المسلح تشكل انتهاكات خطيرة للقانون الإنساني الدولي وتعد في هذا الصدد جرائم حرب، وأن أعمال التعذيب يمكن أن تشكل جرائم ضد الإنسانية، وأنـه يجب محاكمة مرتكبي جميع أعمال التعذيــب ومعاقبتهم، وتلاحظ في هذا الخصوص الجهود التي تبذلها المحكمة الجنائية الدولية لوضع حد للإفلات من العقاب بالسعي إلى ضمان محاسبة مرتكبي هذه الأعمال ومعاقبتهم وفقا لنظام روما الأساسي⁽³⁾، مع مراعاة مبدأ التكامل، وتشجع الدول التي لم تصدق على نظام روما الأساسي أو تنضم إليه بعد على أن تنظر في القيام بذلك؛",
"15 - تحث بقوة الدول على كفالة ألا يستشهد كدليل في أي محاكمة بأي أقوال يثبت أنه تم الإدلاء بها نتيجة التعذيب إلا إذا استخدم الإدلاء بهذه الأقوال كدليل ضد شخص متهم بممارسة التعذيب، وتشجع الدول على مد نطاق هذا الحظر بحيث يشمل الأقوال التي يدلى بها نتيجة للمعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة، وتسلم بأن التعزيز الكافي للأقوال المستخدمة كدليل في أي محاكمة، بما في ذلك الاعترافات، يشكل ضمانا لمنع التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة؛",
"16 - تؤكـد أنه يجب على الدول ألا تعاقـب الموظفين لعدم امتثالهم لأوامر بارتكاب أو إخفـاء أعمال تصل إلى حد التعذيب أو غيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة؛",
"17 - تحث الدول على عدم طـرد أي شخص أو إعادته (”إعادة قسرية“) أو تسليمه أو نقله بأي طريقة أخرى إلى دولـة أخرى إذا توافرت لديها أسباب وجيهة تدعـو إلى الاعتقاد بأن هذا الشخص سيكون عرضة لخطر التعذيب، وتؤكد أهمية كفالة الضمانات القانونية والإجرائية الفعالة في هذا الصدد، وتسلم بأن الضمانات الدبلوماسية، حيثما استخدمت، لا تعفي الدول من التزاماتها بموجب القانون الدولي لحقوق الإنسان والقانون الإنساني الدولي والقانون الدولي للاجئين، وبخاصة مبدأ عدم الإعادة القسرية؛",
"18 - تشير إلى أنه ينبغي للسلطات المختصة، بغرض تحديد ما إذا كانت هناك أسباب من ذلك القبيل، أن تضع في الحسبان جميع الاعتبارات في هذا الصدد، بما في ذلك، حسب مقتضى الحال، وجود نمط مستمر من الانتهاكات الجسيمة أو الصارخة أو الجماعية لحقوق الإنسان في الدولة المعنية؛",
"19 - تهيب بالدول الأطراف في اتفاقية مناهضة التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة⁽¹⁾ أن تفي بالتزامها بتقديم من يدعى أنهم ارتكبوا أعمال تعذيب إلى المحاكمة أو بتسليمهم، وتشجع الدول الأخرى على أن تحذو حذوها، آخذة في اعتبارها ضرورة مكافحة الإفلات من العقاب؛",
"20 - تؤكد وجوب أن تكفل النظم القانونية الوطنيـة إنصـاف ضحايا التعذيب أو غيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة دون أن يتعرضوا لأي انتقام لقيامهم برفع شكاوى أو تقديم أدلة ووصولهم إلى القضاء ومنحهـم تعويضا عـادلا وكافيا وتأهيلهم على النحو المناسب من النواحي الاجتماعية والنفسية والطبية وغيرها من النواحي المتخصصة في هذا المجال، وتحــث الدول على إنشـاء مراكز أو مرافق تأهيل يمكن فيها لضحايا التعذيب تلقي علاجا من هذا القبيل ويمكن فيها اتخاذ تدابير فعالة تكفل سلامة موظفيها ومرضاها أو الإبقاء على ما هو قائم منها أو تيسير عملها أو دعمها؛",
"21 - تشير إلى قرارها 43/173 المؤرخ 9 كانون الأول/ديسمبر 1988 المتعلق بمجموعة المبادئ المتعلقة بحماية جميع الأشخاص الذين يتعرضون لأي شكل من أشكال الاحتجاز أو السجن، وتؤكد، في هذا السياق، أن التدابير التي تكفل لأي شخص تم اعتقاله أو احتجازه المثول بشخصه فورا أمام قاض أو موظف قضائي مستقل آخــر وتسمح له بالحصول بسرعة وانتظام على الرعاية الطبية والمشورة القانونية وبتلقي زيارات من أفراد عائلته ومن آليات الرصد المستقلة تدابير فعالة لمنع التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينــة؛",
"22 - تذكر جميع الدول بأن الحبس الانفرادي المطول أو الاحتجاز في أماكن سرية يمكن أن يسهل ممارسة التعذيب وغيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينــة ويمكن أن يشكل بحد ذاته ضربا من ضروب تلك المعاملة، وتحث جميع الدول على احترام الضمانات المتعلقة بحرية الشخص وأمنه وكرامته وضمان إلغاء الأماكن السرية للاحتجاز والاستجواب؛",
"23 - تشدد على وجوب مراعاة ظروف الاحتجاز لكرامة المحتجزين وحقوق الإنسان الخاصة بهم، وتؤكد أهمية التفكير مليا في هذا الأمر في إطار الجهود الرامية إلى تعزيز احترام حقوق المحتجزين وحمايتها، وتلاحظ، في هذا الصدد، الشواغل المتعلقة بالحبس الانفرادي عندما يصل إلى حد التعذيب أو غيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينة؛",
"24 - تهيــب بجميع الدول أن تتخذ تدابير تشريعية وإدارية وقضائية مناسبة وفعالة وتدابير أخـرى لمنـع وحظـر إنتاج المعدات المصممة خصيصا لممارسة التعذيب أو غيره من ضروب المعاملة أو العقوبة القاسية أو اللاإنسانية أو المهينــة والاتجار بهـا وتصديرها واستيرادها واستخدامها؛",

"Recalling further the definition of torture contained in article 1 of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment,[1] without prejudice to any international instrument or national legislation which contains or may contain provisions of wider application,",
"Emphasizing the importance of properly interpreting and implementing the obligations of States with respect to torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment and of abiding strictly by the definition of torture contained in article 1 of the Convention,",
"Noting that, under the Geneva Conventions of 1949,[2] torture and inhuman treatment are a grave breach and that, under the statute of the International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia since 1991, the statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Genocide and Other Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of Rwanda and Rwandan Citizens Responsible for Genocide and Other Such Violations Committed in the Territory of Neighbouring States between 1 January and 31 December 1994 and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court,[3] acts of torture can constitute crimes against humanity and, when committed in a situation of armed conflict, constitute war crimes,",
"Welcoming the entry into force of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance,[4] the implementation of which will make a significant contribution to the prevention and prohibition of torture, including by prohibiting secret places of detention, and encouraging all States that have not done so to consider signing, ratifying or acceding to the Convention,",
"Commending the persistent efforts of civil society organizations, including non‑governmental organizations, national human rights institutions and national preventive mechanisms, and the considerable network of centres for the rehabilitation of victims of torture, to prevent and combat torture and to alleviate the suffering of victims of torture,",
"Deeply concerned with all acts which can amount to torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment committed against persons exercising their rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression in all regions of the world,",
"1. Condemns all forms of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, including through intimidation, which are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever and can thus never be justified, and calls upon all States to implement fully the absolute and non‑derogable prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment;",

"5.

"8. Recalls, in this respect, the Principles on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the Istanbul Principles)[6] as a useful tool in efforts to prevent and combat torture and the updated set of principles for the protection and promotion of human rights through action to combat impunity;[7]",
"9.

"14. Emphasizes that acts of torture in armed conflict are serious violations of international humanitarian law and in this regard constitute war crimes, that acts of torture can constitute crimes against humanity and that the perpetrators of all acts of torture must be prosecuted and punished, and in this regard notes the efforts of the International Criminal Court to end impunity by seeking to ensure accountability and punishment of perpetrators of such acts, in accordance with the Rome Statute,³ bearing in mind its principle of complementarity, and encourages States that have not yet done so to consider ratifying or acceding to the Rome Statute;",
"15. Strongly urges States to ensure that no statement that is established to have been made as a result of torture is invoked as evidence in any proceedings, except against a person accused of torture as evidence that the statement was made, encourages States to extend that prohibition to statements made as a result of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, and recognizes that adequate corroboration of statements, including confessions, used as evidence in any proceedings constitutes one safeguard for the prevention of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment;",
"16. Stresses that States must not punish personnel for not obeying orders to commit or conceal acts amounting to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment;",
"17. Urges States not to expel, return (“refouler”), extradite or in any other way transfer a person to another State where there are substantial grounds for believing that the person would be in danger of being subjected to torture, stresses the importance of effective legal and procedural safeguards in this regard, and recognizes that diplomatic assurances, where used, do not release States from their obligations under international human rights, humanitarian and refugee law, in particular the principle of non‑refoulement;",

"21. Recalls its resolution 43/173 of 9 December 1988 on the Body of Principles for the Protection of All Persons under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment, and in this context stresses that ensuring that any individual arrested or detained is promptly brought before a judge or other independent judicial officer in person and permitting prompt and regular medical care and legal counsel as well as visits by family members and independent monitoring mechanisms are effective measures for the prevention of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment;",
"22. Reminds all States that prolonged incommunicado detention or detention in secret places can facilitate the perpetration of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment and can in itself constitute a form of such treatment, and urges all States to respect the safeguards concerning the liberty, security and dignity of the person and to ensure that secret places of detention and interrogation are abolished;",
"23. Emphasizes that conditions of detention must respect the dignity and human rights of detainees, highlights the importance of reflecting on this in efforts to promote respect for and protection of the rights of detainees, and notes in this regard concerns about solitary confinement when it amounts to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment;",

"]بناء على تقرير اللجنة الثالثة (A/66/462/Add.2)[",
"66/156 - حقوق الإنسان والتدابير القسرية المتخذة من جانب واحد",
"إن الجمعية العامة،",
"إذ تشير إلى جميع قراراتها السابقة المتعلقة بهذا الموضوع، وآخرها القرار 65/217 المؤرخ 21 كانون الأول/ديسمبر 2010، وإلى قرار مجلس حقوق الإنسان 15/24 المؤرخ 1 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر 2010⁽[1]⁾ وإلى المقرر 18/120 المؤرخ 30 أيلول/سبتمبر 2011⁽[2]⁾ وإلى القرارات السابقة الصادرة عن المجلس ولجنة حقوق الإنسان،",
"وإذ تعيد تأكيد المبادئ والأحكام ذات الصلة بالموضوع الواردة في ميثاق حقوق الدول وواجباتها الاقتصادية الذي أعلنته الجمعية العامة في قرارها 3281 (د - 29) المؤرخ 12 كانون الأول/ديسمبر 1974، وبخاصة المادة 32 منه التي أعلنت فيها أنه لا يجوز لأي دولة أن تستخدم تدابير اقتصادية أو سياسية أو تدابير من أي نوع آخر أو تشجع على استخدامها للضغط على دولة أخرى لإجبارها على التبعية لها في ممارسة حقوقها السيادية،",
"وإذ تحيط علما بتقرير الأمين العام المقدم عملا بقرار الجمعية العامة 65/217⁽[3]⁾، وإذ تشير إلى تقريري الأمين العام عن تنفيذ قراري الجمعية 52/120 المؤرخ 12 كانون الأول/ديسمبر 1997⁽[4]⁾ و 55/110 المؤرخ 4 كانون الأول/ديسمبر 2000⁽[5]⁾،",
"وإذ تؤكد أن التدابير والتشريعات القسرية المتخذة من جانب واحد منافية للقانون الدولي والقانون الإنساني الدولي وميثاق الأمم المتحدة والمعايير والمبادئ التي تحكم العلاقات السلمية بين الدول،",
"وإذ تسلم بأن جميع حقوق الإنسان حقوق عالمية مترابطة متشابكة غير قابلة للتجزئة، وإذ تعيد في هذا الصدد تأكيد الحق في التنمية بوصفه جزءا لا يتجزأ من حقوق الإنسان،",
"وإذ تشير إلى الوثيقة الختامية للمؤتمر الوزاري السادس عشر والاجتماع التذكاري لحركة بلدان عدم الانحياز الذي عقد في بالي، إندونيسيا، في الفترة من 23 إلى 27 أيار/مايو 2011⁽[6]⁾ والوثيقة الختامية لمؤتمر القمة الخامس عشر لرؤساء دول وحكومات حركة بلدان عدم الانحياز الذي عقد في شرم الشيخ، مصر، في الفترة من 11 إلى 16 تموز/يوليه 2009⁽[7]⁾ والوثائق الختامية التي اعتمدت في مؤتمرات القمة والمؤتمرات السابقة التي اتفقت فيها الدول الأعضاء في الحركة على معارضة تلك التدابير أو القوانين واستمرار تطبيقها والتنديد بها ومواصلة الجهود لنقضها فعليا وعلى حث الدول الأخرى على أن تحذو حذوها، على النحو الذي دعت إليه الجمعية العامة وهيئات الأمم المتحدة الأخرى، وعلى الطلب إلى الدول التي تطبق تلك التدابير أو القوانين إلغاءها بصورة تامة وفورية،",
"وإذ تشير أيضا إلى أنه أهيب بالدول في المؤتمر العالمي لحقوق الإنسان الذي عقد في فيينا في الفترة من 14 إلى 25 حزيران/يونيه 1993 أن تمتنع عن اتخاذ أي تدابير من جانب واحد لا تتفق مع القانون الدولي والميثاق وتضع عقبات أمام العلاقات التجارية بين الدول وتعرقل الإعمال التام لجميع حقوق الإنسان⁽[8]⁾ وتشكل خطرا كبيرا أيضا على حرية التجارة،",
"وإذ تضع في اعتبارها جميع الإشارات التي وردت بشأن هذه المسألة في إعلان كوبنهاغن بشأن التنمية الاجتماعية الذي اعتمده مؤتمر القمة العالمي للتنمية الاجتماعية في 12 آذار/مارس 1995⁽[9]⁾ وإعلان ومنهاج عمل بيجين اللذين اعتمدهما المؤتمر العالمي الرابع المعني بالمرأة في 15 أيلول/سبتمبر 1995⁽[10]⁾ وإعلان اسطنبول بشأن المستوطنات البشرية وجدول أعمال الموئل اللذين اعتمدهما مؤتمر الأمم المتحدة الثاني للمستوطنات البشرية (الموئل الثاني) في 14 حزيران/يونيه 1996⁽[11]⁾ وفي عمليات استعراضها التي تجري كل خمس سنوات،",
"وإذ تعرب عن القلق إزاء الأثر السلبي للتدابير القسرية المتخذة من جانب واحد في العلاقات الدولية والتجارة الدولية والاستثمار الدولي والتعاون الدولي،",
"وإذ تعرب عن بالغ القلق إزاء الآثار السلبية التي تلحق بحالة الطفل في بعض البلدان من جراء اتخاذ تدابير قسرية من جانب واحد لا تتفق مع القانون الدولي والميثاق وتضع عقبات أمام العلاقات التجارية بين الدول وتعوق تحقيق التنمية الاجتماعية والاقتصادية على نحو تام وتحول دون رفاه السكان في البلدان المتضررة وتترتب عليها عواقب خاصة بالنسبة إلى النساء والأطفال، بمن فيهم المراهقون، وكبار السن والأشخاص ذوي الإعاقة،",
"وإذ يساورها بالغ القلق لأنه على الرغم من التوصيات التي اعتمدتها الجمعية العامة ومجلس حقوق الإنسان ولجنة حقوق الإنسان ومؤتمرات الأمم المتحدة الرئيسية التي عقدت مؤخرا بشأن هذه المسألة، ما زالت التدابير القسرية تتخذ وتنفذ من جانب واحد بما يتنافى مع القانون الدولي العام والميثاق، بكل ما لها من آثار سلبية في الأنشطة الاجتماعية والإنسانية وفي التنمية الاقتصادية والاجتماعية للبلدان النامية، بما فيها آثارها التي تتجاوز الحدود الإقليمية، واضعة بذلك مزيدا من العقبات أمام تمتع الشعوب والأفراد الخاضعين لولاية دول أخرى تمتعا تاما بجميع حقوق الإنسان،",
"وإذ تضع في اعتبارها جميع الآثار التي تتجاوز الحدود الإقليمية والتي تترتب على أي تدابير وسياسات وممارسات تشريعية وإدارية واقتصادية ذات طابع قسري تتخذ من جانب واحد تمس بعملية التنمية وتعزيز حقوق الإنسان في البلدان النامية، مما يؤدي إلى وضع عقبات أمام الإعمال التام لجميع حقوق الإنسان،",
"وإذ تعيد تأكيد أن التدابير القسرية المتخذة من جانب واحد تشكل عقبة رئيسية أمام تنفيذ الإعلان بشأن الحق في التنمية⁽[12]⁾،",
"وإذ تشير إلى الفقرة 2 من المادة 1 المشتركة بين العهد الدولي الخاص بالحقوق المدنية والسياسية⁽[13]⁾ والعهـد الدولي الخاص بالحقوق الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والثقافية⁽¹³⁾ التي تنص على جملة أمور منها أنه لا يجوز بأي حال من الأحوال حرمان أي شعب من سبل العيش الخاصة به،",
"وإذ تلاحظ ما يبذله الفريق العامل المفتوح باب العضوية المعني بالحق في التنمية التابع لمجلس حقوق الإنسان من جهود متواصلة، وإذ تعيد بصفة خاصة تأكيد معاييره التي تعتبر بموجبها التدابير القسرية المتخذة من جانب واحد إحدى العقبات التي تعرقل تنفيذ الإعلان بشأن الحق في التنمية،",
"1 - تحث جميع الدول على الكف عن اتخاذ أو تنفيذ أي تدابير من جانب واحد لا تتفق مع القانون الدولي والقانون الإنساني الدولي وميثاق الأمم المتحدة والمعايير والمبادئ التي تحكم العلاقات السلمية بين الدول، ولا سيما التدابير ذات الطابع القسري بكل ما لها من آثار تتجاوز الحدود الإقليمية، بما يشكل عقبات أمام العلاقات التجارية بين الدول ويعرقل بذلك الإعمال التام للحقوق المنصوص عليها في الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان⁽[14]⁾ وغيره من الصكوك الدولية لحقوق الإنسان، ولا سيما حق الأفراد والشعوب في التنمية؛",
"2 - تحث أيضا جميع الدول على عدم اتخاذ أي تدابير من جانب واحد لا تتفق مع القانون الدولي والميثاق وتعرقل تحقيق سكان البلدان المتضررة، وبخاصة الأطفال والنساء، التنمية الاقتصادية والاجتماعية على نحو تام وتحول دون رفاههم وتضع العقبات أمام تمتعهم التام بحقوق الإنسان، بما في ذلك حق كل إنسان في التمتع بمستوى معيشة يضمن له صحته ورفاهه وحقه في الحصول على الغذاء والرعاية الطبية والتعليم والخدمات الاجتماعية الضرورية، وعلى كفالة عدم استخدام الغذاء والدواء كأداتين للضغط السياسي؛",
"3 - تعترض بشدة على تجاوز تلك التدابير الحدود الإقليمية، مما يهدد، علاوة على ذلك، سيادة الدول، وتهيب بجميع الدول الأعضاء في هذا السياق ألا تعترف بتلك التدابير أو تطبقها وأن تتخذ تدابير إدارية أو تشريعية، حسب الاقتضاء، من أجل التصدي لتطبيق التدابير القسرية المتخذة من جانب واحد خارج الحدود الإقليمية أو لآثارها التي تتجاوز تلك الحدود؛",
"4 - تدين مواصلة بعض الدول تطبيق تدابير قسرية متخذة من جانب واحد وإنفاذها، وترفض تلك التدابير بكل ما لها من آثار تتجاوز الحدود الإقليمية بوصفها أدوات تستخدم للضغط السـياسي أو الاقتصادي على أي بلد، وخصوصا على البلدان النامية، بهدف منع تلك البلدان من ممارسة حقها في تقرير نظمها السياسية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية بمحض إرادتها وبسبب ما لتلك التدابير من آثار سلبية في إعمال جميع حقوق الإنسان لقطاعات كبيرة من سكانها، وبخاصة الأطفال والنساء وكبار السن والأشخاص ذوو الإعاقة؛",
"5 - تعيد تأكيد عدم جواز استخدام السلع الأساسية من قبيل الغذاء والدواء كأدوات للإكراه السياسي وعدم جواز حرمان أي شعب بأي حال من الأحوال من سبل العيش والتنمية الخاصة به؛",
"6 - تهيب بالدول الأعضاء التي بادرت إلى اتخاذ هذه التدابير أن تتمسك بمبادئ القانون الدولي والميثاق والإعلانات الصادرة عن مؤتمرات الأمم المتحدة والمؤتمرات العالمية والقرارات ذات الصلة بالموضوع وأن تتقيد بالتزاماتها ومسؤولياتها الناشئة عن الصكوك الدولية لحقوق الإنسان التي هي أطراف فيها عن طريق إلغاء هذه التدابير في أقرب وقت ممكن؛",
"7 - تعيد التأكيد، في هذا السياق، على حق جميع الشعوب في تقرير المصير الذي تقرر بموجبه بحرية وضعها السياسي وتواصل بحرية تنميتها الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والثقافية؛",
"8 - تشير إلى أنه وفقا لإعلان مبادئ القانون الدولي المتعلقة بالعلاقات الودية والتعاون بين الدول وفقا لميثاق الأمم المتحدة الوارد في مرفـق قـرار الجمعية العامة 2625 (د - 25) المؤرخ 24 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر 1970 وللمبادئ والأحكام ذات الصلة بالموضوع الواردة في ميثاق حقوق الدول وواجباتها الاقتصادية الذي أعلنته الجمعية في قرارها 3281 (د - 29)، وبخاصة المادة 32 منه، لا يجوز لأي دولة أن تستخدم تدابير اقتصادية أو سياسية أو تدابير من أي نوع آخر أو تشجع على استخدامها للضغط على دولة أخرى لإجبارها على التبعية لها في ممارسة حقوقها السيادية وللحصول منها على أية مزايا؛",
"9 - ترفض جميع المحاولات الرامية إلى فرض تدابير قسرية متخذة من جانب واحد، وتحث مجلس حقوق الإنسان على أن يأخذ في الاعتبار على نحو تام، لدى الاضطلاع بمهمته المتعلقة بإعمال الحق في التنمية، الآثار السلبية لتلك التدابير، بطرق منها سن قوانين وطنية وتطبيقها خارج نطاق الحدود الإقليمية بما يتنافى مع القانون الدولي؛",
"10 - تطلب إلى مفوضة الأمم المتحدة السامية لحقوق الإنسان أن تقوم، لدى الاضطلاع بمهامها المتعلقة بتعزيز الحق في التنمية وإعماله وحمايته، بمنح هذا القرار الأولوية في تقريرها السنوي المقدم إلى الجمعية العامة، مع مراعاة ما للتدابير القسرية المتخذة من جانب واحد من آثار طويلة الأمد في سكان البلدان النامية؛",
"11 - تشدد على أن التدابير القسرية المتخذة من جانب واحد تشكل عقبة رئيسية أمام تنفيذ الإعلان بشأن الحق في التنمية⁽¹²⁾، وتهيب بجميع الدول في هذا الصدد أن تتجنب فرض تدابير اقتصادية قسرية من جانب واحد وتطبيق القوانين الوطنية خارج نطاق الحدود الإقليمية بما يتنافى مع مبادئ التجارة الحرة ويعرقل التنمية في البلدان النامية، على نحو ما أقره الفريق العامل المعني بالحق في التنمية التابع لمجلس حقوق الإنسان؛",
"12 - تسلم بأنه جرى في إعلان المبادئ الذي اعتمد في المرحلة الأولى من القمة العالمية لمجتمع المعلومات التي عقدت في جنيف في الفترة من 10 إلى 12 كانون الأول/ديسمبر 2003⁽[15]⁾ حث الدول بقوة على تجنب اتخاذ أي تدبير من جانب واحد لا يتفق مع القانون الدولي وميثاق الأمم المتحدة والامتناع عن ذلك في إطار بناء مجتمع المعلومات؛",
"13 - تكرر تأييدها دعوة مجلس حقوق الإنسان جميع المقررين الخاصين والمعنيين بالآليات المواضيعية القائمة التابعين للمجلس في ميدان الحقوق الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والثقافية إلى إيلاء الاهتمام الواجب، كل في نطاق ولايته، للآثار والعواقب السلبية للتدابير القسرية المتخذة من جانب واحد؛",
"14 - تعيد تأكيد طلب مجلس حقوق الإنسان أن تعد مفوضية الأمم المتحدة لحقوق الإنسان دراسة مواضيعية عن الآثار المترتبة على التدابير القسرية المتخذة من جانب واحد في التمتع بحقوق الإنسان مشفوعة بتوصيات عن الإجراءات التي يتعين اتخاذها لوضع حد لهذه التدابير، آخذة في الاعتبار جميع التقارير السابقة والقرارات والمعلومات ذات الصلة بالموضوع المتاحة لمنظومة الأمم المتحدة في هذا الشأن، وأن تقدمها إلى المجلس في دورته التاسعة عشرة؛",
"15 - تطلب إلى الأمين العام أن يطلع جميع الدول الأعضاء على هذا القرار وأن يواصل جمع ما لديها من آراء ومعلومات بشأن ما يترتب على التدابير القسرية المتخذة من جانب واحد من تبعات وآثار سلبية في سكانها وأن يقدم تقريرا تحليليا عن ذلك إلى الجمعية العامة في دورتها السابعة والستين، في الوقت الذي تكرر فيه مرة أخرى تأكيد ضرورة تسليط الضوء على التدابير العملية والوقائية في هذا الصدد؛",
"16 - تقرر أن تنظر في المسألة على سبيل الأولوية في دورتها السابعة والستين في إطار البند الفرعي المعنون ”مسائل حقوق الإنسان، بما في ذلك النهج البديلة لتحسين التمتع الفعلي بحقوق الإنسان والحريات الأساسية“.",

"Reaffirming the pertinent principles and provisions contained in the Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States proclaimed by the General Assembly in its resolution 3281 (XXIX) of 12 December 1974, in particular article 32 thereof, in which it declared that no State may use or encourage the use of economic, political or any other type of measures to coerce another State in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights,",
"Taking note of the report of the Secretary‑General submitted pursuant to General Assembly resolution 65/217,[3] and recalling the reports of the Secretary‑General on the implementation of Assembly resolutions 52/120 of 12 December 1997[4] and 55/110 of 4 December 2000,[5]",
"Stressing that unilateral coercive measures and legislation are contrary to international law, international humanitarian law, the Charter of the United Nations and the norms and principles governing peaceful relations among States,",

"Recalling also that, at the World Conference on Human Rights, held in Vienna from 14 to 25 June 1993, States were called upon to refrain from any unilateral measure not in accordance with international law and the Charter that creates obstacles to trade relations among States and impedes the full realization of all human rights[8] and also severely threatens the freedom of trade,",
"Bearing in mind all the references to this question in the Copenhagen Declaration on Social Development adopted by the World Summit for Social Development on 12 March 1995,[9] the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action adopted by the Fourth World Conference on Women on 15 September 1995,[10] the Istanbul Declaration on Human Settlements and the Habitat Agenda adopted by the second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II) on 14 June 1996,[11] and their five‑year reviews,",

"Deeply concerned that, despite the recommendations adopted on this question by the General Assembly, the Human Rights Council, the Commission on Human Rights and recent major United Nations conferences, and contrary to general international law and the Charter, unilateral coercive measures continue to be promulgated and implemented, with all their negative implications for the social humanitarian activities and economic and social development of developing countries, including their extraterritorial effects, thereby creating additional obstacles to the full enjoyment of all human rights by peoples and individuals under the jurisdiction of other States,",

"Reaffirming that unilateral coercive measures are a major obstacle to the implementation of the Declaration on the Right to Development,[12]",
"Recalling article 1, paragraph 2, common to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights[13] and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights,¹³ which provides, inter alia, that in no case may a people be deprived of its own means of subsistence,",

"1. Urges all States to cease adopting or implementing any unilateral measures not in accordance with international law, international humanitarian law, the Charter of the United Nations and the norms and principles governing peaceful relations among States, in particular those of a coercive nature, with all their extraterritorial effects, which create obstacles to trade relations among States, thus impeding the full realization of the rights set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights[14] and other international human rights instruments, in particular the right of individuals and peoples to development;",
"2. Also urges all States not to adopt any unilateral measures not in accordance with international law and the Charter that impede the full achievement of economic and social development by the population of the affected countries, in particular children and women, that hinder their well‑being and that create obstacles to the full enjoyment of their human rights, including the right of everyone to a standard of living adequate for his or her health and well‑being and his or her right to food, medical care and education and the necessary social services, as well as to ensure that food and medicine are not used as tools for political pressure;",
"3.

"وإذ تعيد أيضا تأكيد جميع القرارات والمقررات السابقة المتعلقة بالحق في الغذاء المتخذة في إطار الأمم المتحدة،",
"وإذ تشير إلى الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان⁽[1]⁾ الذي ينص على أن لكل شخص الحق في مستوى معيشة ملائم للحفاظ على صحته ورفاهه، بما في ذلك الغذاء، والإعلان العالمي للقضاء على الجوع وسوء التغذية⁽[2]⁾ وإعلان الأمم المتحدة للألفية⁽[3]⁾، وبخاصة الهدف 1 من الأهداف الإنمائية للألفية المتعلق بالقضاء على الفقر المدقع والجوع بحلول عام 2015،",
"وإذ تشير أيضا إلى أحكام العهد الدولي الخاص بالحقوق الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والثقافية⁽[4]⁾ الذي يعترف فيه بالحق الأساسي لكل شخص في العيش في مأمن من الجوع،",

"وإذ تعيد تأكيد التوصيات العملية الواردة في المبادئ التوجيهية الطوعية لدعم الإعمال التدريجي للحق في الحصول على غذاء كاف في سياق الأمن الغذائي الوطني التي اعتمدها مجلس منظمة الأمم المتحدة للأغذية والزراعة في تشرين الثاني/نوفمبر 2004⁽[7]⁾،",
"وإذ تعيد أيضا تأكيد مبادئ روما الخمسة المتعلقة بالأمن الغذائي العالمي المستدام الواردة في إعلان مؤتمر القمة العالمي للأمن الغذائي الذي اعتمد في روما في 16 تشرين الثاني/نوفمبر 2009⁽[8]⁾،",
"وإذ تعيد كذلك تأكيد أن جميع حقوق الإنسان عالمية مترابطة متشابكة غير قابلة للتجزئة وأنه لا بد من أن تعامل على الصعيد العالمي على نحو يتوخى فيه الإنصاف والتكافؤ على قدم المساواة وبنفس القدر من الاهتمام،",
"وإذ تعيد تأكيد أن تهيئة بيئة سياسية واجتماعية واقتصادية مؤاتية يسودها السلام والاستقرار على الصعيدين الوطني والدولي على حد سواء هي الركيزة الأساسية التي ستمكن الدول من إيلاء أولوية كافية للأمن الغذائي وللقضاء على الفقر،",
"وإذ تكرر تأكيد ضرورة ألا يستخدم الغذاء كأداة للضغط السياسي أو الاقتصادي، كما جاء في إعلان روما بشأن الأمن الغذائي العالمي وإعلان مؤتمر القمة العالمي للأغذية: خمس سنوات بعد الانعقاد، وإذ تعيد في هذا الصدد تأكيد أهمية التعاون والتضامن الدوليين وضرورة الامتناع عن اتخاذ تدابير من جانب واحد لا تتفق مع القانون الدولي وميثاق الأمم المتحدة وتعرض الأمن الغذائي للخطر،",
"واقتناعا منها بضرورة أن تعتمد كل دولة استراتيجية تتناسب مع مواردها وقدراتها لتحقيق الأهداف الخاصة بها في سياق تنفيذ التوصيات الواردة في إعلان روما بشأن الأمن الغذائي العالمي وخطة عمل مؤتمر القمة العالمي للأغذية والتعاون في الوقت نفسه على الصعيدين الإقليمي والدولي بهدف إيجاد حلول جماعية لمسائل الأمن الغذائي العالمية في عالم يتزايد فيه الترابط بين المؤسسات والمجتمعات والاقتصادات ويكون فيه تنسيق الجهود وتقاسم المسؤوليات أمرين ضروريين،",
"وإذ تسلم بالطابع المعقد لأزمة الغذاء العالمية التي تهدد بانتهاك الحق في الحصول على غذاء كاف على نطاق واسع الذي يعزى إلى عوامل أساسية عديدة مجتمعة من قبيل الأزمة المالية والاقتصادية العالمية وتدهور البيئة والتصحر وتأثير تغير المناخ العالمي والكوارث الطبيعية وانعدام التكنولوجيا المناسبة والاستثمارات وتدابير بناء القدرات اللازمة لمواجهة آثار الأزمة في العديد من البلدان، ولا سيما البلدان النامية وأقل البلدان نموا والدول الجزرية الصغيرة النامية،",
"وتصميما منها على العمل على ضمان مراعاة منظور حقوق الإنسان في التدابير المتخذة على الصعد الوطني والإقليمي والدولي للتصدي لأزمة الغذاء العالمية،",
"وإذ تعرب عن بالغ قلقها إزاء عدد الكوارث الطبيعية والأمراض والآفات ونطاقها والأثر السلبي لتغير المناخ وتفاقم الآثار المترتبة على ذلك في السنوات الأخيرة، مما أدى إلى تكبد خسائر فادحة في الأرواح وسبل كسب الرزق وعرض الإنتاج الزراعي والأمن الغذائي للخطر، وبخاصة في البلدان النامية،",
"وإذ تؤكد أهمية عكس مسار الانخفاض المستمر في المساعدة الإنمائية الرسمية المخصصة للزراعة، بالقيم الحقيقية وكنسبة من مجموع المساعدة الإنمائية الرسمية على السواء،",
"وإذ تسلم بأهمية حماية التنوع البيولوجي الزراعي والحفاظ عليه لضمان الأمن الغذائي وكفالة الحق في الغذاء للجميع،",
"وإذ تسلم أيضا بالدور الذي تضطلع به منظمة الأمم المتحدة للأغذية والزراعة، بوصفها وكالة الأمم المتحدة الرئيسية المعنية بالتنمية الريفية والزراعية، وبعملها في مجال دعم جهود الدول الأعضاء الرامية إلى تحقيق الإعمال الكامل للحق في الغذاء، بطرق منها تقديم المساعدة التقنية إلى البلدان النامية دعما لتنفيذ أطر الأولويات الوطنية،",
"وإذ تحيط علما بالإعلان الختامي الذي اعتمد في المؤتمر الدولي لمنظمة الأمم المتحدة للأغذية والزراعة المعني بالإصلاح الزراعي والتنمية الريفية الذي عقد في بورتو أليغري، البرازيل في 10 آذار/مارس 2006⁽[9]⁾،",
"وإذ تنوه بفرقة العمل الرفيعة المستوى المعنية بأزمة الأمن الغذائي العالمية التي أنشأها الأمين العام، وإذ تؤيد مواصلة الأمين العام بذل الجهود في هذا الصدد، بما في ذلك مواصلة العمل مع الدول الأعضاء ومع المقرر الخاص لمجلس حقوق الإنسان المعني بالحق في الغذاء،",
"1 - تعيد تأكيد أن الجوع يشكل إهانة وانتهاكا لكرامة الإنسان ويتطلب بالتالي اتخاذ تدابير عاجلة على الصعد الوطني والإقليمي والدولي من أجل القضاء عليه؛",
"2 - تعيد أيضا تأكيد حق كل فرد في الحصول على طعام مأمون وكاف ومغذ، بما يتفق مع الحق في الحصول على غذاء كاف والحق الأساسي لكل فرد في أن يكون في مأمن من الجوع، لكي يتمكن من النمو على نحو كامل والحفاظ على قدراته البدنية والعقلية؛",
"3 - ترى أنه من غير المقبول أن أكثر من ثلث الأطفال الذين يموتون سنويا قبل بلوغ سن الخامسة يموتون بسبب أمراض متصلة بالجوع، حسب تقديرات منظمة الأمم المتحدة للطفولة، وأن عدد الأشخاص الذين يعانون نقصا في التغذية، حسب تقديرات منظمة الأمم المتحدة للأغذية والزراعة، يصل إلى نحو 925 مليون شخص في جميع أنحاء العالم، وأن عددا إضافيا من الأشخاص يبلغ بليون شخص يعانون سوء تغذية حاد، لأسباب منها أزمة الغذاء العالمية، في حين أنه يمكن لكوكب الأرض، حسب ما ذكرته منظمة الأغذية والزراعة، أن ينتج من الغذاء ما يكفي لإطعام كل البشر في العالم بأسره؛",
"4 - تعرب عن قلقها إزاء الآثار المترتبة على أزمة الغذاء العالمية التي لا تزال تؤدي إلى تبعات جسيمة بالنسبة إلى أشد الناس فقرا وضعفا، وخصوصا في البلدان النامية، وتزداد تفاقما من جراء الأزمة المالية والاقتصادية العالمية وإزاء الآثار التي تترتب على هذه الأزمة بصفة خاصة في كثير من البلدان المستوردة الصافية للأغذية، وبخاصة في أقل البلدان نموا؛",
"5 - تعرب عن قلقها أيضا لأن النساء والفتيات يتعرضن أكثر من غيرهن للجوع وانعدام الأمن الغذائي والفقر، وهو ما يعزى جزئيا إلى انعدام المساواة بين الجنسين والتمييز، ولأن احتمالات وفاة الفتيات في العديد من البلدان من جراء سوء التغذية والإصابة بأمراض الطفولة التي يمكن الوقاية منها هي ضعف احتمالات وفاة الفتيان ولأن التقديرات تشير إلى أن نسبة النساء اللاتي يعانين من سوء التغذية تناهز ضعف نسبة الرجال؛",
"6 - تشجع جميع الدول على اتخاذ إجراءات للتصدي لانعدام المساواة بين الجنسين والتمييز ضد المرأة، وبخاصة حيثما يسهم ذلك في تعرض النساء والفتيات لسوء التغذية، بما في ذلك اتخاذ تدابير تكفل الإعمال التام وعلى قدم المساواة للحق في الغذاء، مع كفالة تكافؤ فرص حصول المرأة على الموارد، بما فيها الدخل والأرض والمياه والحق في امتلاكها، وإتاحة فرص الحصول على نحو تام ومتكافئ على التعليم والعلم والتكنولوجيا لتمكينها من توفير الغذاء لنفسها ولأسرتها؛",
"7 - تشجع المقرر الخاص لمجلس حقوق الإنسان المعني بالحق في الغذاء على أن يواصل العمل على تعميم مراعاة المنظور الجنساني في الأنشطة التي يقوم بها للاضطلاع بولايته، وتشجع منظمة الأمم المتحدة للأغذية والزراعة وجميع هيئات وآليات الأمم المتحدة الأخرى المعنية بمسألتي الحق في الغذاء وانعدام الأمن الغذائي على إدماج منظور جنساني في سياساتها وبرامجها وأنشطتها في هذا الصدد؛",
"8 - تعيد تأكيد ضرورة كفالة أن تشمل برامج تقديم الأغذية المأمونة والمغذية الأشخاص ذوي الإعاقة وأن تكون ميسرة لهم؛",
"9 - تشجع جميع الدول على اتخاذ خطوات تؤدي تدريجيا إلى الإعمال الكامل للحق في الغذاء، بما في ذلك اتخاذ خطوات للنهوض بالأوضاع التي تمكن كل فرد من العيش في مأمن من الجوع والتي تكفل في أسرع وقت ممكن التمتع الكامل بالحق في الغذاء، وعلى وضع واعتماد خطط وطنية لمكافحة الجوع؛",
"10 - تقر بالتقدم الذي أحرز عن طريق التعاون بين بلدان الجنوب في البلدان والمناطق النامية فيما يتصل بالأمن الغذائي وتنمية الإنتاج الزراعي من أجل الإعمال الكامل للحق في الغذاء؛",
"11 - تؤكد أن تحسين الحصول على الموارد الإنتاجية والاستثمار العام في مجال التنمية الريفية عنصران أساسيان من أجل القضاء على الجوع والفقر، وبخاصة في البلدان النامية، بطرق منها تشجيع الاستثمارات في التكنولوجيات المناسبة لمشاريع الري وإدارة المياه الصغيرة الحجم من أجل الحد من التأثر بموجات الجفاف؛",
"12 - تقر بأن 80 في المائة من الأشخاص الذين يعانون الجوع يعيشون في المناطق الريفية وأن 50 في المائة منهم من صغار المزارعين وأن هؤلاء الأشخاص عرضة بشكل خاص لخطر انعدام الأمن الغذائي، نظرا لارتفاع تكلفة مدخلات الإنتاج وانخفاض الإيرادات من المزارع، وبأن الحصول على الأراضي والمياه والبذور والموارد الطبيعية الأخرى يشكل تحديا متزايدا يواجهه فقراء المنتجين وبأن السياسات الزراعية المستدامة والمراعية لنوع الجنس أداة مهمة لتعزيز إصلاح الأراضي والإصلاح الزراعي والائتمان الريفي والتأمين في الريف والمساعدة التقنية وما يرتبط بذلك من تدابير لتحقيق الأمن الغذائي والتنمية الريفية وبأن الدعم الذي تقدمه الدول إلى صغار المزارعين والمجتمعات التي تعتمد على صيد الأسماك والمؤسسات المحلية، بطرق منها تيسير وصول منتجاتها إلى الأسواق الوطنية والدولية وتمكين صغار المنتجين، وبخاصة النساء، في سلاسل الأنشطة المضيفة للقيمة، عنصر أساسي في تحقيق الأمن الغذائي وإعمال الحق في الغذاء؛",
"13 - تؤكد أهمية مكافحة الجوع في المناطق الريفية، بوسائل منها بذل جهود وطنية مدعومة بشراكات دولية من أجل وقف التصحر وتدهور الأراضي، وعن طريق الاستثمارات والسياسات العامة الملائمة بوجه خاص للتصدي لخطر جفاف الأراضي، وتدعو في هذا الصدد إلى التنفيذ الكامل لاتفاقية الأمم المتحدة لمكافحة التصحر في البلدان التي تعاني من الجفاف الشديد و/أو من التصحر، وبخاصة في أفريقيا⁽[10]⁾؛",
"14 - تحث الدول التي لم تصبح بعد أطرافا في اتفاقية التنوع البيولوجي⁽[11]⁾ على أن تنظر في أن تفعل ذلك وعلى أن تنظر على سبيل الأولوية في أن تصبح أطرافا في المعاهدة الدولية بشأن الموارد الوراثية النباتية للأغذية والزراعة⁽[12]⁾؛",
"15 - تشير إلى إعلان الأمم المتحدة بشأن حقوق الشعوب الأصلية⁽[13]⁾، وتسلم بأن كثيرا من منظمات الشعوب الأصلية وممثلي الشعوب الأصلية قد أعربوا في مختلف المنتديات عن قلقهم البالغ إزاء العقبات والتحديات التي يواجهونها من أجل التمتع التام بالحق في الغذاء، وتهيب بالدول اتخاذ إجراءات خاصة لمكافحة الأسباب الجذرية لارتفاع مستويات الجوع وسوء التغذية لدى الشعوب الأصلية بقدر أكبر من غيرها واستمرار التمييز ضدها؛",
"16 - تلاحظ ضرورة مواصلة دراسة مفاهيم شتى، من قبيل مفهوم ”السيادة الغذائية“، وعلاقة هذه المفاهيم بالأمن الغذائي والحق في الغذاء، مع مراعاة ضرورة تجنب أي تأثير سلبي في تمتع جميع الناس بالحق في الغذاء في جميع الأوقات؛",
"17 - تطلب إلى جميع الدول والجهات الفاعلة في القطاع الخاص والمنظمات الدولية أن تضع تماما في اعتبارها، كل في إطار ولايتها، ضرورة تعزيز إعمال الحق في الغذاء للجميع بشكل فعلي، بما في ذلك في المفاوضات الجارية في مختلف الميادين؛",
"18 - تقر بضرورة تعزيز الالتزام الوطني والمساعدة الدولية، بناء على طلب البلدان المتضررة وبالتعاون معها، بغية إعمال الحق في الغذاء وحمايته على نحو تام، والقيام بشكل خاص بإرساء آليات وطنية لحماية السكان الذين أجبروا على مغادرة ديارهم وأراضيهم بسبب الجوع أو بسبب حالات طوارئ إنسانية تؤثر في التمتع بالحق في الغذاء؛",
"19 - تؤكد ضرورة بذل الجهود لحشد الموارد التقنية والمالية من جميع المصادر وتخصيصها واستخدامها على أمثل وجه، بما في ذلك تخفيف عبء الديون الخارجية للبلدان النامية، وتعزيز الإجراءات الوطنية الرامية إلى تنفيذ سياسات الأمن الغذائي المستدام؛",
"20 - تدعو إلى التعجيل باختتام جولة الدوحة للمفاوضات التجارية التي تجريها منظمة التجارة العالمية والتوصل بنجاح إلى نتائج إنمائية المنحى للمساهمة في تهيئة الظروف الدولية التي تتيح الإعمال الكامل للحق في الغذاء؛",
"21 - تؤكد ضرورة أن تبذل جميع الدول قصارى جهدها لكفالة ألا يكون لسياساتها الدولية التي لها طابع سياسي واقتصادي، بما في ذلك الاتفاقات التجارية الدولية، أي تأثير سلبي في الحق في الغذاء في بلدان أخرى؛",
"22 - تذكر بأهمية إعلان نيويورك بشأن العمل من أجل مكافحة الجوع والفقر، وتوصي بمواصلة الجهود الرامية إلى إيجاد مصادر إضافية لتوفير التمويل اللازم لمكافحة الجوع والفقر؛",
"23 - تقر بأن الوعود التي تم التعهد بها في مؤتمر القمة العالمي للأغذية في عام 1996 بخفض عدد الأشخاص الذين يعانون نقصا في التغذية إلى النصف لم يتم الوفاء بها بعد، وتنوه، في الوقت نفسه، بالجهود التي تبذلها الدول الأعضاء في هذا الصدد، وتدعو مرة أخرى جميع المؤسسات المالية والإنمائية الدولية ووكالات الأمم المتحدة وصناديقها المعنية إلى إيلاء الأولوية وتوفير التمويل اللازم لتحقيق الهدف المتمثل في خفض نسبة الأشخاص الذين يعانون الجوع بمقدار النصف بحلول عام 2015 وإعمال الحق في الغذاء، على النحو المبـين في إعلان روما بشأن الأمن الغذائي العالمي⁽⁵⁾ وإعلان الأمم المتحدة للألفية⁽³⁾؛",
"24 - تعيد تأكيد أن تعزيز الدعم الغذائي والتغذوي، بهدف تمكين جميع الناس في جميع الأوقات من الحصول على غذاء كاف ومأمون ومغذ بما يلبي احتياجاتهم من الأغذية ويناسب خياراتهم الغذائية من أجل حياة نشيطة وصحية، جزء من الجهود الشاملة المبذولة للنهوض بالصحة العامة، بما في ذلك التصدي لانتشار فيروس نقص المناعة البشرية/متلازمة نقص المناعة المكتسب (الإيدز) والسل والملاريا والأمراض المعدية الأخرى؛",
"25 - تحث الدول على أن تولي أولوية كافية لإعمال الحق في الغذاء في استراتيجياتها ونفقاتها في مجال التنمية؛",
"26 - تؤكد أهمية التعاون الدولي والمساعدة الإنمائية الدولية، باعتبارهما مساهمة فعالة في التوسع الزراعي والنهوض بالزراعة واستدامتها بيئيا والإنتاج الغذائي ومشاريع الاستيلاد المتعلقة بتنوع المحاصيل والماشية والابتكارات المؤسسية، من قبيل المصارف الأهلية للبذور ومدارس المزارعين الميدانية ومعارض البذور، وفي تقديم المساعدات الإنسانية الغذائية في سياق الأنشطة المتعلقة بحالات الطوارئ، من أجل إعمال الحق في الغذاء وتحقيق الأمن الغذائي المستدام، وتقر في الوقت نفسه بأن كل بلد مسؤول في المقام الأول عن كفالة تنفيذ برامج واستراتيجيات وطنية في هذا الصدد؛",
"27 - تؤكد أيضا ضرورة أن تنظر الدول الأطراف في اتفاق منظمة التجارة العالمية المتعلق بجوانب حقوق الملكية الفكرية المتصلة بالتجارة⁽[14]⁾ في تنفيذ ذلك الاتفاق بطريقة داعمة للأمن الغذائي، مع مراعاة التزام الدول الأعضاء بتعزيز الحق في الغذاء وحمايته؛",
"28 - تهيب بالدول الأعضاء ومنظومة الأمم المتحدة والجهات المعنية الأخرى دعم الجهود الوطنية الرامية إلى التصدي على وجه السرعة لأزمات الغذاء التي تشهدها حاليا أفريقيا بأسرها، وبخاصة القرن الأفريقي، وتعرب عن بالغ قلقها لأن نقص التمويل يجبر برنامج الأغذية العالمي على خفض عملياته في مختلف المناطق، بما فيها الجنوب الأفريقي؛",
"29 - تدعو جميع المنظمات الدولية المعنية، بما فيها البنك الدولي وصندوق النقد الدولي، إلى مواصلة تشجيع السياسات والمشاريع التي تؤثر تأثيرا إيجابيا في الحق في الغذاء وكفالة أن يراعي الشركاء الحق في الغذاء في تنفيذ المشاريع المشتركة ودعم استراتيجيات الدول الأعضاء الرامية إلى إعمال الحق في الغذاء وتفادي اتخاذ أي إجراءات قد تؤثر فيه سلبا؛",

"34 - تشير إلى التعليق العام رقم 15 (2002) للجنة الحقوق الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والثقافية المتعلق بالحق في المياه (المادتان 11 و 12 من العهد)⁽[18]⁾ الذي لاحظت فيه اللجنة جملة أمور منها أهمية كفالة الحصول على موارد المياه بشكل مستدام للاستهلاك البشري والزراعة إعمالا للحق في الحصول على غذاء كاف؛",
"35 - تعيد تأكيد أن المبادئ التوجيهية الطوعية لدعم الإعمال التدريجي للحق في الحصول على غذاء كاف في سياق الأمن الغذائي الوطني التي اعتمدها مجلس منظمة الأمم المتحدة للأغذية والزراعة في تشرين الثاني/نوفمبر 2004⁽⁷⁾ تشكل أداة عملية لتعزيز إعمال الحق في الغذاء للجميع وتسهم في تحقيق الأمن الغذائي وتوفر بالتالي أداة إضافية لتحقيق الأهداف الإنمائية المتفق عليها دوليا، بما فيها الأهداف الواردة في إعلان الأمم المتحدة للألفية؛",
"36 - ترحب بالتعاون المستمر بين المفوضة السامية واللجنة والمقرر الخاص، وتشجعهم على مواصلة تعاونهم في هذا الصدد؛",
"37 - تهيب بجميع الحكومات أن تتعاون مع المقرر الخاص وأن تساعده في أداء مهمته وأن تزوده بجميع المعلومات اللازمة التي يطلبها وأن تنظر جديا في الاستجابة لطلبات المقرر الخاص بشأن زيارة بلدانها لتمكينه من الوفاء بولايته بمزيد من الفعالية؛",
"38 - تطلب إلى المقرر الخاص أن يقدم إلى الجمعية العامة في دورتها السابعة والستين تقريرا مؤقتا عن تنفيذ هذا القرار وأن يواصل عمله، بطرق منها دراسة القضايا الناشئة التي تتعلق بإعمال الحق في الغذاء، في إطار ولايته الحالية؛",
"39 - تدعو الحكومات ووكالات الأمم المتحدة وصناديقها وبرامجها المعنية والهيئات المنشأة بموجب معاهدات والجهات الفاعلة في المجتمع المدني والمنظمات غير الحكومية والقطاع الخاص إلى التعاون على نحو تام مع المقرر الخاص في تنفيذ ولايته، بطرق منها تقديم تعليقات ومقترحات بشأن سبل ووسائل إعمال الحق في الغذاء؛",

"[on the report of the Third Committee (A/66/462/Add.2)]",
"66/158. The right to food",
"The General Assembly,",
"Reaffirming the Charter of the United Nations and its importance for the promotion and protection of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for all,",
"Reaffirming also all previous resolutions and decisions on the right to food adopted within the framework of the United Nations,",
"Recalling the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,[1] which provides that everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for her or his health and well‑being, including food, the Universal Declaration on the Eradication of Hunger and Malnutrition[2] and the United Nations Millennium Declaration,[3] in particular Millennium Development Goal 1 on eradicating extreme poverty and hunger by 2015,",
"Recalling also the provisions of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights,[4] in which the fundamental right of every person to be free from hunger is recognized,",
"Bearing in mind the Rome Declaration on World Food Security and the World Food Summit Plan of Action[5] and the Declaration of the World Food Summit: five years later, adopted in Rome on 13 June 2002,[6]",
"Reaffirming the concrete recommendations contained in the Voluntary Guidelines to Support the Progressive Realization of the Right to Adequate Food in the Context of National Food Security, adopted by the Council of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in November 2004,[7]",
"Reaffirming also the Five Rome Principles for Sustainable Global Food Security contained in the Declaration of the World Summit on Food Security, adopted in Rome on 16 November 2009,[8]",
"Reaffirming further that all human rights are universal, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated, and that they must be treated globally, in a fair and equal manner, on the same footing and with the same emphasis,",
"Reaffirming that a peaceful, stable and enabling political, social and economic environment, at both the national and the international levels, is the essential foundation that will enable States to give adequate priority to food security and poverty eradication,",
"Reiterating, as in the Rome Declaration on World Food Security and the Declaration of the World Food Summit: five years later, that food should not be used as an instrument of political or economic pressure, and reaffirming in this regard the importance of international cooperation and solidarity, as well as the necessity of refraining from unilateral measures that are not in accordance with international law and the Charter of the United Nations and that endanger food security,",
"Convinced that each State must adopt a strategy consistent with its resources and capacities to achieve its individual goals in implementing the recommendations contained in the Rome Declaration on World Food Security and the World Food Summit Plan of Action and, at the same time, cooperate regionally and internationally in order to organize collective solutions to global issues of food security in a world of increasingly interlinked institutions, societies and economies where coordinated efforts and shared responsibilities are essential,",
"Recognizing that the complex character of the global food crisis, in which the right to adequate food is threatened to be violated on a massive scale, is a combination of several major factors, such as the global financial and economic crisis, environmental degradation, desertification and the impacts of global climate change, as well as natural disasters and the lack in many countries of the appropriate technology, investment and capacity‑building necessary to confront its impact, particularly in developing countries, least developed countries and small island developing States,",

"24. Reaffirms that integrating food and nutritional support, with the goal that all people at all times will have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life, is part of a comprehensive effort to improve public health, including the response to the spread of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other communicable diseases;",

"وإذ تؤكد أن تكثيف التعاون الدولي من أجل تعزيز جميع حقوق الإنسان وحمايتها ينبغي أن يظل متسقا تماما مع مقاصد ومبادئ الميثاق والقانون الدولي المبينــة فـي المادتين 1 و 2 من الميثاق وأن يتم في ظل أمور منها الاحترام التام للسيادة والسلامة الإقليمية والاستقلال السياسي وعدم استعمال القوة أو التهديد باستعمالها في العلاقات الدولية وعدم التدخل في المسائل التي تقع أساسا ضمن الولاية الداخلية لأي دولة،",
"وإذ تشير إلى ديباجة الميثاق، وبخاصة ما تضمنته من تصميم على إعادة تأكيد الإيمان بحقوق الإنسان الأساسية وبكرامة الإنسان وقدره وبالمساواة في الحقوق بين الرجال والنساء وبين الدول كبيرها وصغيرها،",

"وإذ تعيد أيضا تأكيد ما ورد في ديباجة الميثاق من تصميم على إنقاذ الأجيال المقبلة من ويلات الحرب وتهيئة الظروف التي يمكن في ظلها صون العدالة واحترام الالتزامات الناشئة عن المعاهدات وغيرها من مصادر القانون الدولي وتعزيز التقدم الاجتماعي ورفع مستوى المعيشة في جو أفسح من الحرية وإبداء التسامح وتعزيز مبدأ حسن الجوار واستخدام الأجهزة الدولية في النهوض بالتقدم الاقتصادي والاجتماعي للشعوب جميعها،",
"وإذ تؤكد ضرورة اضطلاع دول العالم بصفة مشتركة وعلى صعيد متعدد الأطراف بمسؤولية التصدي للمسائل الاقتصادية والاجتماعية على مستوى العالم وللأخطار التي تهدد السلام والأمن الدوليين ووجوب قيام الأمم المتحدة بدور أساسي في هذا الصدد باعتبارها أكثر المنظمات عالمية وتمثيلا في العالم،",
"وإذ تضع في اعتبارها التغيرات الكبرى التي تحدث على الساحة الدولية وتطلعات جميع الشعوب إلى قيام نظام دولي على أساس المبادئ المكرسـة في الميثاق، بما في ذلك تعزيز احترام حقوق الإنسان والحريات الأساسية للجميع والتشجيع على ذلك واحترام مبدأ المساواة بين الشعوب في الحقوق وحقها في تقرير المصير والسلام والديمقراطية والعدالة والمساواة وسيادة القانون والتعددية والتنمية وتحسين مستويات المعيشة والتضامن،",
"وإذ تسلم بأن تعزيز التعاون الدولي في ميدان حقوق الإنسان أمر ضروري لتحقيق مقاصد الأمم المتحدة على الوجه الأكمل، بما في ذلك تعزيز جميع حقوق الإنسان وحمايتها على نحو فعال،",
"وإذ تضع في اعتبارها أن الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان ينص على أن جميع الناس يولدون أحرارا ومتساوين في الكرامة والحقوق وأن لكل إنسان حق التمتع بجميع الحقوق والحريات المذكورة في الإعلان دون تمييز من أي نوع، من قبيل التمييز على أساس العرق أو اللون أو الجنس أو اللغة أو الدين أو الرأي السياسي أو أي رأي آخر أو الأصل الوطني أو الاجتماعي أو الثروة أو الميلاد أو أي وضع آخر،",

"وإذ تشدد على أن الديمقراطية ليست مفهوما سياسيا فحسب، وإنما لها أيضا أبعاد اقتصادية واجتماعية،",

"وإذ تؤكد أن الجهود الرامية إلى جعل العولمة جامعة ومنصفة تماما يجب أن تشمل وضع سياسات وتدابير على الصعيد العالمي تتسق مع احتياجات البلدان النامية والبلدان التي تمر اقتصاداتها بمرحلة انتقالية، وتصاغ وتنفذ بمشاركتها الفعلية،",

"وإذ تكرر بقوة تأكيد العزم على كفالة التحقيق الكامل وفي الوقت المناسب للأهداف والغايات الإنمائية المتفق عليها في المؤتمرات الرئيسية ومؤتمرات القمة التي تعقدها الأمم المتحدة، بما فيها الأهداف والغايات المتفق عليها في مؤتمر قمة الألفية التي يطلق عليها الأهداف الإنمائية للألفية، والتي ساعدت في تحفيز الجهود المبذولة للقضاء على الفقر،",
"وإذ يساورها بالغ القلق إزاء عدم كفاية التدابيـر المتخذة لتضيـيق الفجوة الآخذة في الاتساع بين البلدان المتقدمة النمو والبلدان النامية وداخل البلدان التي أسهمت في عدة أمور منها زيادة حدة الفقر وأثرت سلبا في التمتع الكامل بجميع حقوق الإنسان، وبخاصة في البلدان النامية،",
"وإذ تشدد على أن الشركات عبر الوطنية وغيرها من المؤسسات التجارية تقع عليها مسؤولية احترام جميع حقوق الإنسان،",
"وإذ تشدد أيضا على أن البشر يسعون إلى قيام عالم تحترم فيه حقوق الإنسان وتنوع الثقافات، وأنهم يعملون، في هذا الصدد، على كفالة اتساق جميع الأنشطة، بما فيها الأنشطة المتأثرة بالعولمة، مع تلك الأهداف،",
"1 - تسلم بأنه في حين أن العولمة يمكن أن تؤثر في حقوق الإنسان بحكم تأثيرها في أمور عدة منها دور الدولة، فإن مسؤولية تعزيز جميع حقوق الإنسان وحمايتها تقع على عاتق الدولة في المقام الأول؛",
"2 - تشدد على ضرورة أن تكون التنمية محور البرامج الاقتصادية الدولـية وعلى أن تحقيق الاتساق بين الاستراتيجيات الإنمائية الوطنية والالتزامات والتعهدات الدولية أمر حتمي من أجل تهيئة بيئة مؤاتية للتنمية وقيام عولمة شاملة ومنصفة؛",
"3 - تعيد تأكيد أن تضييق الفجوة بين الأغنياء والفقراء، داخل البلدان وفيما بينها على السواء، هدف واضح على الصعيدين الوطني والدولي في إطار الجهد الهادف إلى تهيئة بيئة مؤاتية للتمتع الكامل بجميع حقوق الإنسان؛",
"4 - تعيد أيضا تأكيد الالتزام بتهيئة بيئة على الصعيدين الوطني والعالمي على السواء تؤدي إلى تحقيق التنمية والقضاء على الفقر بوسائل منها تعزيز الحكم الرشيد داخل كل بلد وعلى الصعيد الدولي والقضاء على الحمائية وزيادة الشفافية في النظم المالية والنقدية والتجارية والالتزام بإقامة نظام تجاري ومالي متعدد الأطراف ومنفتح وعادل ويستند إلى قواعد ويمكن التنبؤ به وغير تمييزي؛",
"5 - تسلم بأن الأزمة المالية والاقتصادية العالمية لا تزال تؤثر في قدرة البلدان، لا سيما البلدان النامية، على تعبئة الموارد لأغراض التنمية وعلى التصدي لآثار هذه الأزمة، وتهيب في هذا السياق بجميع الدول وبالمجتمع الدولي العمل، بأسلوب يشمل الجميع ويتوخى التنمية، على التخفيف من أي آثار سلبية يمكن أن تتركها هذه الأزمة في إعمال جميع حقوق الإنسان والتمتع بها بشكل فعلي؛",
"6 - تسلم أيضا بأنه في حين أن العولمة تتيح فرصا كبيرة فإن التفاوت الشديد في تقاسم فوائدها وتوزيع تكاليفها يشكل جانبا من العملية التي تؤثر في التمتع الكامل بجميع حقوق الإنسان، وبخاصة في البلدان النامية؛",
"7 - ترحب بتقرير مفوضة الأمم المتحدة السامية لحقوق الإنسان عن العولمة وأثرها في التمتع الكامل بحقوق الإنسان⁽[9]⁾ الذي يركز على تحرير التجارة الزراعية وأثر ذلك في إعمال الحق في التنمية، بما في ذلك الحق في الغذاء، وتحيط علما بالاستنتاجات والتوصيات الواردة في هذا التقرير؛",
"8 - تعيد تأكيد الالتزام على الصعيد الدولي بالقضاء على الجوع وتأمين الغذاء للجميع، اليوم وغدا، وتكرر تأكيد ضرورة أن تؤمن لمنظمات الأمم المتحدة المعنية الموارد التي تحتاج إليها لزيادة وتحسين ما تقدمه من مساعدات غذائية ولدعم برامج شبكات الأمان الاجتماعي المصممة للتصدي للجوع وسوء التغذية، عند الاقتضاء، من خلال عمليات الشراء المحلية أو الإقليمية؛",
"9 - تهيب بالدول الأعضاء ووكالات منظومة الأمم المتحدة المعنية والمنظمات الحكومية الدولية والمجتمع المدني تعزيز النمو الاقتصادي الشامل والمنصف والمستدام بيئيا بغية إدارة العولمة على نحو يؤدي إلى الحد من الفقر بطريقة منهجية وتحقيق الأهداف الإنمائية الدولية؛",
"10 - تسلم بأن تنفيذ الشركات عبر الوطنية وغيرها من المؤسسات التجارية أعمالها بطريقة مسؤولة من شأنه أن يسهم في تعزيز جميع حقوق الإنسان والحريات الأساسية، وبخاصة الحقوق الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والثقافية، وحمايتها وإعمالها؛",
"11 - تسلم أيضا بأن العولمة لا يمكن أن تكون شاملة للجميع ومنصفة وذات طابع إنساني، ومن ثم أن تسهم في التمتع الكامل بجميع حقوق الإنسان، إلا ببذل جهود دؤوبة وواسعة النطاق، بما في ذلك انتهاج سياسات واتخاذ تدابير على الصعيد العالمي لتهيئة مستقبل مشترك قائم على إنسانيتنا المشتركة بكل تنوعها؛",
"12 - تشدد على الضرورة الملحة لإنشاء نظام دولي منصف وشفاف وديمقراطي من أجل تعزيز مشاركة البلدان النامية في صنع القرارات ووضع القواعد الاقتصادية على الصعيد الدولي وتوسيع نطاقها؛",
"13 - تؤكد أن العولمة عملية تحول هيكلي معقدة ذات جوانب عديدة مشتركة بين المجالات وتؤثر في التمتع بالحقوق المدنية والسياسية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية والثقافية، بما فيها الحق في التنمية؛",
"14 - تؤكد أيضا ضرورة أن يسعى المجتمع الدولي إلى التصدي لما تطرحه العولمة من تحديات وإلى اغتنام ما تتيحه من فرص بما يكفل تعزيز حقوق الإنسان وحمايتها مع ضمان احترام التنوع الثقافي للجميع؛",
"15 - تشدد، بناء على ذلك، على ضرورة مواصلة تحليل عواقب العولمة على التمتع الكامل بجميع حقوق الإنسان؛",
"16 - تحيط علما بتقرير الأمين العام⁽[10]⁾، وتطلب إليه أن يواصل التماس آراء الدول الأعضاء ووكالات منظومة الأمم المتحدة المعنية وأن يقدم إلى الجمعية العامة في دورتها السابعة والستين تقريرا موضوعيا عن المسألة استنادا إلى هذه الآراء يتضمن توصيات بشأن سبل التصدي لآثار العولمة في التمتع الكامل بجميع حقوق الإنسان.",

"وإذ تعيد أيضا تأكيد أنه على الرغم من وجود سمات مشتركة بين النظم الديمقراطية، فليس ثمة نموذج وحيد للديمقراطية، وأن الديمقراطية لا تخص بلدا بعينه أو منطقة بعينها، وإذ تعيد كذلك تأكيد ضرورة إيلاء الاحترام الواجب للسيادة والحق في تقرير المصير،",
"وإذ تؤكد أن الديمقراطية والتنمية واحترام جميع حقوق الإنسان والحريات الأساسية أمور مترابطة ويعزز كل منها الآخر،",

"وإذ تسلم بأهمية إجراء انتخابات نزيهة دورية ذات مصداقية، بما في ذلك إجراؤها في البلدان حديثة العهد في إقامة نظام ديمقراطي والبلدان التي تمر بمرحلة إرساء الديمقراطية، لتمكين المواطنين من التعبير عن إرادتهم وتعزيز الانتقال بنجاح إلى ديمقراطيات مستدامة طويلة الأجل،",
"وإذ تسلم أيضا بأن الدول الأعضاء مسؤولة عن كفالة إجراء انتخابات حرة ونـزيهة، بعيدا عن التخويف والقسر والتلاعب بعمليات فرز الأصوات، وعن المعاقبة على جميع هذه الأعمال تبعا لذلك،",

"وإذ تشير إلى الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان المعتمد في 10 كانون الأول/ديسمبر 1948⁽[1]⁾، وبخاصة المبدأ الذي ينص على أن إرادة الشعب المعبر عنها بانتخابات دورية نزيهة هي مصدر سلطة الحكومة وعلى الحق في اختيار الممثلين بحرية عن طريق إجراء انتخابات دورية نزيهة بالاقتراع السري وعلى قدم المساواة بين الجميع، أو بموجب أي إجراء مماثل يضمن حرية التصويت،",

"وإذ تلاحظ أهمية ضمان إرساء عمليات ديمقراطية منظمة مفتوحة نزيهة شفافة تحفظ الحق في التجمع السلمي،",
"وإذ تلاحظ أيضا أن المجتمع الدولي بوسعه أن يسهم في تهيئة الظروف التي يمكن أن تعزز الاستقرار والأمن طوال فترة ما قبل الانتخابات وأثناء إجراء الانتخابات وفي فترة ما بعد الانتخابات وفي المراحل الانتقالية وفي حالات ما بعد النزاع،",
"وإذ تكرر تأكيد أن الشفافية أساس جوهري لإجراء انتخابات حرة ونزيهة تساهم في ضمان مساءلة المواطنين لحكوماتهم وأنها تشكل بدورها الدعامة التي تقوم عليها المجتمعات الديمقراطية،",

"وإذ ترحب بما تقدمه الدول الأعضاء من دعم لأنشطة المساعدة الانتخابية التي تضطلع بها الأمم المتحدة، بجملة وسائل منها توفير الخبراء في مجال الانتخابات، بمن فيهم موظفو اللجان الانتخابية والمراقبون، وتقديم التبرعات إلى صندوق الأمم المتحدة الاستئماني لتقديم المساعدة الانتخابية والصندوق الاستئماني المواضيعي للحكم الديمقراطي التابع لبرنامج الأمم المتحدة الإنمائي وصندوق الأمم المتحدة للديمقراطية،",
"وإذ تسلم بأن المساعدة الانتخابية، وبخاصة المساعدة عن طريق توفير التكنولوجيا الانتخابية المناسبة المستدامة والفعالة من حيث التكاليف، تدعم العمليات الانتخابية التي تجريها البلدان النامية،",
"وإذ تسلم أيضا بالتحديات التي تواجه في مجال تنسيق المساعدة الانتخابية بسبب تعدد الجهات الفاعلة المشاركة في تقديم تلك المساعدة داخل الأمم المتحدة وخارجها على السواء،",
"وإذ ترحب بإسهامات المنظمات الدولية والإقليمية وبإسهامات المنظمات غير الحكومية في تعزيز فعالية مبدأ إجراء انتخابات دورية نزيهة وتشجيع إرساء الديمقراطية،",
"1 - ترحب بتقرير الأمين العام⁽[5]⁾؛",
"2 - تشيد بما تقدمه الأمم المتحدة من مساعدة انتخابية إلى الدول الأعضاء بناء على طلبها، وتطلب أن تستمر هذه المساعدة على أساس كل حالة على حدة، وفقا للاحتياجات المتغيرة للبلدان الطالبة للمساعدة ولتشريعاتها، من أجل تطوير مؤسساتها وعملياتها الانتخابية وتحسينها، مع التسليم بأن المسؤولية عن تنظيم انتخابات حرة ونزيهة تقع على عاتق الحكومات؛",

"5 - تطلب أن تواصل الأمم المتحدة جهودها لكي تكفل، قبل التعهد بتقديم المساعدة الانتخابية إلى الدولة الطالبة للمساعدة، وجود وقت كاف لتنظيم بعثة لتقديم تلك المساعدة بطريقة فعالة وإيفادها، بما في ذلك التعاون على المدى الطويل في المجال التقني، وتوافر الظروف المؤاتية لإجراء انتخابات حرة ونزيهة وتقديم تقارير وافية ومتسقة عن نتائج البعثة؛",
"6 - تلاحظ أهمية توافر موارد كافية لإدارة انتخابات تتسم بالكفاءة والشفافية على الصعيدين الوطني والمحلي، وتوصي بأن توفر الدول الأعضاء موارد كافية لتلك الانتخابات، وأن تنظر في ذلك السياق في إنشاء آليات تمويل وطنية حيثما أمكن ذلك؛",
"7 - توصي بأن تواصل الأمم المتحدة، طوال الفترة الزمنية التي تستغرقها الدورة الانتخابية بأكملها، بما في ذلك، إذا اقتضى الأمر، قبل الانتخابات وبعدها، تقديم المشورة الفنية وغيرها من أشكال المساعدة إلى الدول والمؤسسات الانتخابية الطالبة للمساعدة، استنادا إلى تقييم للاحتياجات ووفقا للاحتياجات المتغيرة للدول الأعضاء الطالبة للمساعدة، آخذة في الاعتبار استدامة المساعدة وفعاليتها من حيث التكاليف، من أجل المساعدة على تعزيز عملياتها الديمقراطية، وآخذة في الاعتبار أيضا أنه يجوز للجهة المعنية توفير مساعدة إضافية في شكل وساطة ومساعي حميدة، بناء على طلب الدول الأعضاء؛",

"وإذ تعيد تأكيد أن لكل فرد الحق في حرية الفكر والضمير والدين أو المعتقد التي تشمل حرية الفرد في أن يختار بنفسه أن يكون له أو لا يكون له دين أو معتقد أو أن يعتنق هذا الدين أو المعتقد، والحرية في إشهار دينه أو معتقده بمفرده أو مع جماعة من الأفراد، علنا أو سرا، عن طريق التعليم والممارسة والعبادة وإقامة الشعائر،",

"Deeply concerned at continuing acts of intolerance and violence based on religion or belief against individuals and members of religious communities and religious minorities around the world and at the limited progress that has been made in the elimination of all forms of intolerance and of discrimination based on religion or belief, and believing that further intensified efforts are therefore required to promote and protect the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion or belief and to eliminate all forms of hatred, intolerance and discrimination based on religion or belief, as also noted at the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, held in Durban, South Africa, from 31 August to 8 September 2001, as well as at the Durban Review Conference, held in Geneva from 20 to 24 April 2009,",

"Concerned also at the increasing number of laws and regulations that limit the freedom of thought, conscience and religion or belief, and at the implementation of existing laws in a discriminatory manner,",
"Convinced of the need to address the rise in various parts of the world of religious extremism that affects the rights of individuals, the situations of violence and discrimination that affect many women and other individuals on the grounds or in the name of religion or belief or in accordance with cultural and traditional practices and the misuse of religion or belief for ends inconsistent with the Charter of the United Nations and other relevant instruments of the United Nations,",

"Deeply concerned at the persistence of acts of intolerance and violence based on religion or belief against individuals, members of religious communities and religious minorities throughout the world, and at the limited progress made in the elimination of all forms of intolerance and discrimination based on religion or belief, and believing that further intensive efforts are therefore necessary to promote and protect the right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief, and the elimination of all forms of hatred, intolerance and discrimination based on religion or belief in South Africa, as also noted in Durban, as well as in the 20 September 2009,",

"Convinced of the need to address the rise in religious extremism that affects the rights of individuals, situations of violence and discrimination on the basis of religion or belief or in the name of religion or belief, or in accordance with cultural and traditional practices affecting many women and other individuals, and the misuse of religion or belief for purposes contrary to the Charter of the United Nations and other United Nations instruments in this regard,",

"Deeply deploring the occurrence of violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the context of the fight against terrorism, as well as violations of international refugee and humanitarian law,",
"Noting with concern measures that can undermine human rights and the rule of law, such as the detention of persons suspected of acts of terrorism in the absence of a legal basis for detention and due process guarantees, the deprivation of liberty that amounts to placing a detained person outside the protection of the law, the trial of suspects without fundamental judicial guarantees, the illegal deprivation of liberty and transfer of individuals suspected of terrorist activities, and the return of suspects to countries without individual assessment of the risk of there being substantial grounds for believing that they would be in danger of subjection to torture, and limitations to effective scrutiny of counter‑terrorism measures,",

"وإذ تعيد تأكيد الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان⁽[2]⁾ الذي ينص على أن جميع الناس يولدون أحرارا ومتساوين في الكرامة والحقوق وأنه يحق لكل إنسان التمتع بجميع الحقوق والحريات المبينة فيه دون تمييز من أي نوع، وبخاصة على أساس العرق أو اللون أو الأصل القومي،",

"وإذ تلاحظ أن الاجتماع الخامس للمنتدى العالمي المعني بالهجرة والتنمية الذي عقد في جنيف في 1 و 2 كانون الأول/ديسمبر 2011 ناقش النتائج والاستنتاجات التي تم التوصل إليها في أربعة عشر اجتماعا من الاجتماعات المواضيعية التي عقدت في شتى أرجاء العالم من كانون الثاني/يناير إلى تشرين الأول/أكتوبر 2011 وتناولت الموضوع الرئيسي المعنون ”اتخاذ إجراءات بصدد الهجرة والتنمية - الاتساق والقدرات والتعاون“ كإسهام في تشجيع التعاون الدولي فيما بين الدول وبينها وبين الجهات الفاعلة الأخرى تعزيزا لقدرة الدول على الاستفادة مما تتيحه الهجرة والتنمية من فرص والتصدي لما تطرحانه من تحديات بمزيد من الفعالية، وإذ تحيط علما مع التقدير بعرض موريشيوس السخي تولي رئاسة المنتدى العالمي في عام 2012،",

"وإذ تشدد على أن الهجرة ظاهرة عالمية وعلى أهمية التعاون والحوار في هذا الشأن على كل من الصعيد الدولي والإقليمي والثنائي، حسب الاقتضاء، وعلى ضرورة حماية حقوق الإنسان للمهاجرين، وبخاصة في وقت ازداد فيه تدفق الهجرة في ظل الاقتصاد المعولم وأصبح يجري في سياق ينطوي على شواغل أمنية جديدة،",
"وإذ تضع في اعتبارها أن على الدول التزامات يفرضها القانون الدولي، حسب الاقتضاء، بإيلاء العناية الواجبة لمنع الجرائم ضد المهاجرين والتحقيق مع مرتكبيها ومعاقبتهم، وأن عدم القيام بذلك يشكل انتهاكا لحقوق الإنسان والحريات الأساسية للضحايا ويخل بالتمتع بها أو يحول دونه،",
"وإذ تؤكد أن الجرائم المرتكبة ضد المهاجرين، بما في ذلك عمليات الاتجار بالأشخاص، لا تزال تمثل تحديا خطيرا ولا بد من تقييمها والتصدي لها بشكل منسق على المستوى الدولي ومن قيام تعاون حقيقي متعدد الأطراف بين البلدان الأصلية وبلدان العبور وبلدان المقصد من أجل القضاء عليها،",
"وإذ تضع في اعتبارها ضرورة أن تشجع السياسات والمبادرات المتعلقة بمسألة الهجرة، بما فيها السياسات والمبادرات المتعلقة بالإدارة المنظمة للهجرة، اتباع نهج كلية تأخذ في الحسبان أسباب هذه الظاهرة وعواقبها والاحترام الكامل لحقوق الإنسان والحريات الأساسية للمهاجرين،",

"وإذ تدرك أنه بالنظر إلى أن المجرمين يستغلون تدفقات المهاجرين ويحاولون الالتفاف على السياسات التي تقيد الهجرة، يصبح المهاجرون أكثر عرضة لمخاطر منها الاختطاف والابتزاز والعمل القسري والاستغلال الجنسي والاعتداء البدني وعبودية الديون والهجر،",
"وإذ تقر بإسهام المهاجرين الشباب في البلدان الأصلية وبلدان المقصد، وإذ تشجع، في هذا الصدد، الدول على أن تنظر في الظروف التي يعيشها المهاجرون الشباب واحتياجاتهم الخاصة،",
"وإذ يساورها القلق إزاء العدد الكبير والمتزايد من المهاجرين، ولا سيما النساء والأطفال، الذين يعرضون أنفسهم للخطر بمحاولة عبور الحدود الدولية دون حيازتهم وثائق السفر المطلوبة، وإذ تقر بواجب الدول احترام حقوق الإنسان لأولئك المهاجرين،",
"وإذ تؤكد ضرورة أن تتناسب العقوبات المفروضة على المهاجرين غير النظاميين وأسلوب معاملتهم مع ما ارتكبوه من مخالفات،",
"وإذ تسلم بأهمية اعتماد نهج شامل ومتوازن إزاء الهجرة الدولية، وإذ تضع في اعتبارها أن الهجرة تثري النسيج الاقتصادي والسياسي والاجتماعي والثقافي للدول وتوثق الصلات التاريخية والثقافية القائمة بين بعض المناطق،",
"وإذ تسلم أيضا بالالتزامات المترتبة على البلدان الأصلية وبلدان العبور وبلدان المقصد بموجب القانون الدولي لحقوق الإنسان،",
"وإذ تشدد على أهمية أن تقوم الدول، بالتعاون مع المنظمات غير الحكومية وغيرها من الجهات المعنية، بتنظيم حملات إعلامية تهدف إلى التعريف بالفرص والقيود والمخاطر والحقوق في حالة الهجرة، بما يمكن الجميع من اتخاذ قرارات مستنيرة ويحول دون لجوء أي شخص إلى وسائل خطرة لعبور الحدود الدولية،",
"1 - تهيب بالدول أن تعزز حقوق الإنسان والحريات الأساسية لجميع المهاجرين وأن تحميها على نحو فعال، أيا كان وضعهم كمهاجرين، ولا سيما الحقوق والحريات الأساسية للنساء والأطفال، وأن تعالج مسألة الهجرة الدولية عن طريق التعاون والحوار على الصعيد الدولي أو الإقليمي أو الثنائي واعتماد نهج شامل ومتوازن، مع الإقرار بالأدوار والمسؤوليات التي تقع على عاتق البلدان الأصلية وبلدان العبور وبلدان المقصد في مجال تعزيز حقوق الإنسان لجميع المهاجرين وحمايتها وتجنب النهج التي قد تؤدي إلى تفاقم ضعفهم؛",
"2 - تعرب عن قلقها إزاء تأثير الأزمات المالية والاقتصادية في الهجرة الدولية وفي المهاجرين، وتحث في هذا الصدد الحكومات على التصدي للمعاملة التمييزية وغير العادلة حيال المهاجرين، ولا سيما العمال المهاجرون وأسرهم؛",

"(ب) تعرب عن القلـق إزاء ما اعتمدته بعض الدول من تشريعات تسفر عن تدابير وممارسات يمكن أن تقيد حقوق الإنسان والحريات الأساسية للمهاجرين، وتعيد تأكيد أن على الدول، عند ممارسة حقها السيادي في سن التدابير التي تتعلق بالهجرة وبأمن حدودها وإنفاذها، واجب التقيد بالتزاماتها بموجب القانون الدولي، بما في ذلك القانون الدولي لحقوق الإنسان، لكفالة الاحترام التام لحقوق الإنسان للمهاجرين؛",
"(ج) تهيب بالدول أن تكفل الاحترام التام لحقوق الإنسان للمهاجرين في قوانينها وسياساتها، بما فيها القوانين والسياسات في مجالي مكافحة الإرهاب والجريمة المنظمة العابرة للحدود الوطنية، مثل الاتجار بالأشخاص وتهريب المهاجرين؛",

"4 - تعيد أيضا تأكيد واجب الدول أن تعزز حقوق الإنسان والحريات الأساسية لجميع المهاجرين، ولا سيما الحقوق والحريات الأساسية للنساء والأطفال، وأن تحميها على نحو فعال بصرف النظر عن وضعهم كمهاجرين، بما يتسق مع الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان والصكوك الدولية التي هي طرف فيها، وبناء على ذلك:",

"إن الجمعية العامة،",
"إذ تشير إلى قرارها 65/231 المؤرخ 21 كانون الأول/ديسمبر 2010 وإلى جميع القرارات الأخرى المتخذة في هذا الصدد،",
"وإذ تحيط علما بتقرير الأمين العام⁽[1]⁾،",
"وإذ تضع في اعتبارها أن القصور في إجراءات منع الجريمة يفضي إلى صعوبات تواجهها آليات مكافحة الجريمة لاحقا، وإذ تضع في اعتبارها أيضا الضرورة الملحة لوضع استراتيجيات فعالة لأفريقيا من أجل منع الجريمة وأهمية أجهزة إنفاذ القوانين والهيئات القضائية على الصعيدين الإقليمي ودون الإقليمي،",
"وإذ تدرك أن الاتجاهات الجديدة الأكثر نشاطا للجريمة، مثل ارتفاع معدلات الجريمة المنظمة العابرة للحدود الوطنية المسجلة في أفريقيا، بما في ذلك استخدام التكنولوجيا الرقمية في ارتكاب جميع أنواع الجرائم الإلكترونية والاتجار غير المشروع بالممتلكات الثقافية والمخدرات والقرصنة وغسل الأموال، لها أثر مدمر في الاقتصادات الوطنية للدول الأفريقية وأن الجريمة عقبة رئيسية تحول دون تحقيق تنمية متسقة ومستدامة في أفريقيا،",
"وإذ تلاحظ مع القلق أن نظام العدالة الجنائية القائم في معظم البلدان الأفريقية ينقصه موظفون مهرة بما فيه الكفاية وهياكل أساسية وافية وأنه بالتالي غير مهيأ للتصدي للاتجاهات الجديدة للجريمة، وإذ تقر بالتحديات التي تواجهها أفريقيا في عمليات التقاضي وإدارة السجون،",
"وإذ تسلم بأن معهد الأمم المتحدة الأفريقي لمنع الجريمة ومعاملة المجرمين هو مركز تنسيق لجميع الجهود التي يبذلها ذوو الخبرة المهنية من أجل تعزيز تعاون الحكومات والمؤسسات الأكاديمية والمؤسسات والمنظمات العلمية والمهنية والخبراء وتآزرهم على نحو فعال في مجال منع الجريمة والعدالة الجنائية،",
"وإذ تضع في اعتبارها خطة عمل الاتحاد الأفريقي المنقحة بشأن مكافحة المخدرات ومنع الجريمة (2007-2012) التي تهدف إلى تشجيع الدول الأعضاء على المشاركة في المبادرات الإقليمية وتبنيها من أجل منع الجريمة بصورة فعالة وإرساء الحكم الرشيد وتعزيز إقامة العدل،",
"وإذ تقر بأهمية تحقيق التنمية المستدامة كعنصر مكمل لاستراتيجيات منع الجريمة،",
"وإذ تشدد على ضرورة إقامة التحالفات اللازمة مع جميع الشركاء في عملية تنفيذ سياسات فعالة لمنع الجريمة،",
"وإذ تلاحظ أن الحالة المالية للمعهد أثرت إلى حد كبير في قدرته على تقديم الخدمات إلى الدول الأفريقية الأعضاء بطريقة فعالة وشاملة،",
"1 - تثــني على معهد الأمم المتحدة الأفريقي لمنع الجريمة ومعاملة المجرمين لما يبذله من جهود من أجل تعزيز أنشطة التعاون التقني الإقليمية المتصلة بنظم منع الجريمة والعدالة الجنائية في أفريقيا وتنسيقها؛",
"2 - تثني أيضا على مكتب الأمم المتحدة المعني بالمخدرات والجريمة لمبادرته من أجل توطيد علاقة العمل التي تربطه بالمعهد بدعم المعهد وإشراكه في تنفيذ عدد من الأنشطة، بما فيها الأنشطة الواردة في خطة عمل الاتحاد الأفريقي المنقحة بشأن مكافحة المخدرات ومنع الجريمة (2007-2012) المتعلقة بتعزيز سيادة القانون ونظم العدالة الجنائية في أفريقيا؛",
"3 - تكرر تأكيد ضرورة مواصلة تعزيز قدرة المعهد على دعم الآليات الوطنية لمنع الجريمة والعدالة الجنائية في البلدان الأفريقية؛",
"4 - تلاحظ الجهود التي يبذلها المعهد من أجل إقامة اتصالات مع المنظمات في البلدان التي تشجع برامج منع الجريمة واستمراره في إقامة صلات وثيقة مع الكيانات السياسية الإقليمية ودون الإقليمية مثل مفوضية الاتحاد الأفريقي وجماعة شرق أفريقيا ومفوضية الجماعة الاقتصادية لدول غرب أفريقيا والهيئة الحكومية الدولية المعنية بالتنمية والجماعة الإنمائية للجنوب الأفريقي؛",
"5 - تشجع المعهد على أن يأخذ في الاعتبار، بالتعاون مع وكالات الأمم المتحدة المعنية، عند وضع استراتيجياته في مجال منع الجريمة، العمل الذي تضطلع به مختلف الهيئات القيمة على التخطيط في المنطقة التي تركز اهتمامها على تنسيق الأنشطة المعززة للتنمية على أساس الإنتاج الزراعي المستدام والحفاظ على البيئة؛",
"6 - تحث الدول الأعضاء في المعهد على مواصلة بذل جميع الجهود الممكنة للوفاء بالتزاماتها تجاه المعهد؛",
"7 - ترحب بقرار مجلس إدارة المعهد في دورته العادية الحادية عشرة التي عقدت في نيروبي في 27 و 28 نيسان/أبريل 2011 إجراء استعراض لأداء المعهد لكفالة تمكنه من الوفاء بولايته والاضطلاع بدور أكبر شأنا في مواجهة الجريمة القائمة؛",
"8 - ترحب أيضا باتخاذ المعهد مبادرة لتقاسم التكاليف مع الدول الأعضاء والشركاء وكيانات الأمم المتحدة عند تنفيذه لمختلف البرامج؛",
"9 - تحث جميع الدول الأعضاء والمنظمات غير الحكومية والمجتمع الدولي على مواصلة اتخاذ تدابير عملية ملموسة لدعم المعهد في مجال تنمية القدرات اللازمة وتنفيذ برامجه وأنشطته الرامية إلى تعزيز نظم منع الجريمة والعدالة الجنائية في أفريقيا؛",
"10 - تحث جميع الدول التي لم تصدق على اتفاقية الأمم المتحدة لمكافحة الجريمة المنظمة عبر الوطنية وبروتوكولاتها⁽[2]⁾ واتفاقية الأمم المتحدة لمكافحة الفساد⁽[3]⁾ أو لم تنضم إليها بعد على النظر في القيام بذلك؛",
"11 - تطلب إلى الأمين العام أن يكثف الجهود لتعبئة جميع الكيانات المعنية في منظومة الأمم المتحدة من أجل تقديم ما يلزم من دعم مالي وتقني إلى المعهد لتمكينه من الاضطلاع بولايته، واضعة في اعتبارها أن الحالة المالية الحرجة للمعهد تقوض إلى حد بعيد قدراته على تقديم الخدمات بشكل فعال؛",
"12 - تطلب أيضا إلى الأمين العام أن يواصل بذل الجهود لتعبئة الموارد المالية الضرورية لاحتفاظ المعهد بالموظفين الفنيين الأساسيين اللازمين لتمكينه من العمل بفعالية من أجل الاضطلاع بالواجبات المنوطة به؛",
"13 - تشجع المعهد على أن ينظر في التركيز على مواطن الضعف الخاصة والعامة لكل بلد مستفيد من البرنامج وعلى أن يستفيد من المبادرات المتاحة إلى أقصى حد ممكن للتصدي لمشاكل الجريمة بالأموال الموجودة والقدرات المتاحة، عن طريق إقامة تحالفات مفيدة مع المؤسسات الإقليمية والمحلية؛",
"14 - تهيب بمكتب الأمم المتحدة المعني بالمخدرات والجريمة أن يواصل العمل في تعاون وثيق مع المعهد؛",
"15 - تطلب إلى الأمين العام أن يدعم تعزيز التعاون والتنسيق والتآزر على الصعيد الإقليمي في مجال مكافحة الجريمة، وبخاصة في بعدها العابر للحدود الوطنية الذي لا تكفي الإجراءات الوطنية وحدها للتصدي له؛",
"16 - تطلب أيضا إلى الأمين العام أن يواصل تقديم مقترحات محددة تشمل توفير مزيد من الموظفين الفنيين الأساسيين لتعزيز برامج المعهد وأنشطته، وأن يقدم إلى الجمعية العامة في دورتها السابعة والستين تقريرا عن تنفيذ هذا القرار.",

"وإذ تعيد تأكيد نتائج مؤتمر الأمم المتحدة المعني بالبيئة البشرية، وبخاصة المبدأ 7 من إعلان المؤتمر⁽[1]⁾ الذي طلب فيه إلى الدول اتخاذ جميع الخطوات الممكنة لمنع تلوث البحار،",
"وإذ تشدد على ضرورة حماية البيئة البحرية والمحافظة عليها وفقا للقانون الدولي،",
"وإذ تأخذ في اعتبارها إعلان ريو بشأن البيئة والتنمية لعام 1992⁽[2]⁾، وبخاصة المبدأ 16 منه الذي نص فيه على أن يتحمل الملوث، من حيث المبدأ، تكلفة التلوث، وإذ تأخذ في اعتبارها أيضا الفصل 17 من جدول أعمال القرن 21⁽[3]⁾،",
"وإذ تلاحظ ببالغ القلق الكارثة البيئية الناجمة عن قيام القوات الجوية الإسرائيلية في 15 تموز/يوليه 2006 بتدمير صهاريج تخزين النفط في المنطقة المجاورة مباشرة لمحطة الجية لتوليد الكهرباء في لبنان، مما أحدث بقعة نفطية غطت الساحل اللبناني بالكامل وامتدت إلى الساحل السوري، وأعاقت جهود تحقيق التنمية المستدامة، على نحو ما سبق للجمعية العامة أن أبرزته في القرارات 61/194 و 62/188 و 63/211 و 64/195 و 65/147،",
"وإذ تلاحظ أن الأمين العام أعرب عن قلقه الشديد إزاء عدم اعتراف حكومة إسرائيل مطلقا بمسؤولياتها فيما يتعلق بجبر الأضرار والتعويض عما لحق بحكومة وشعب كل من لبنان والجمهورية العربية السورية من أضرار جراء الانسكاب النفطي،",
"وإذ تذكر بأنها طلبت في الفقرة 4 من قرارها 65/147 إلى حكومة إسرائيل أن تتحمل مسؤولية التعويض الفوري والكافي لحكومة لبنان والبلدان الأخرى التي تضررت بصورة مباشرة من البقعة النفطية، مثل الجمهورية العربية السورية التي لوثت شواطئها جزئيا، وإذ تقر بما خلص إليه الأمين العام من أنه لم يتم بعد تنفيذ طلب الجمعية العامة هذا،",
"وإذ تدرك أن الأمين العام خلص إلى أن هذا الانسكاب النفطي غير مغطى بأي من الصناديق الدولية الخاصة بالتعويضات في حالات الانسكاب النفطي، وإلى أنه بالتالي يستحق اهتماما خاصا، وإذ تقر بأنه يتعين مواصلة بحث خيار تأمين دفع التعويضات في هذا الصدد من قبل حكومة إسرائيل،",
"وإذ تشير إلى أن الأمين العام لاحظ أن تجربة لجنة الأمم المتحدة للتعويضات في التعامل مع مطالبات التعويض عن الأضرار البيئية الناجمة عن الغزو والاحتلال غير المشروعين للكويت من قبل العراق قد تكون مفيدة في تعريف الضرر البيئي في حالة مثل حالة البقعة النفطية هذه وفي قياس وتحديد حجم الضرر الواقع وفي تحديد مبلغ التعويض الواجب دفعه في هذا الصدد،",
"وإذ تلاحظ مرة أخرى مع التقدير المساعدة المقدمة من البلدان المانحة والمنظمات الدولية من أجل عمليات التنظيف والتعجيل بإنعاش لبنان وإعادة إعماره من خلال قنوات ثنائية ومتعددة الأطراف، بما في ذلك اجتماع أثينا التنسيقي بشأن التصدي لحادثة التلوث البحري في شرق البحر الأبيض المتوسط المعقود في 17 آب/أغسطس 2006 ومؤتمر ستوكهولم للإنعاش المبكر للبنان المعقود في 31 آب/أغسطس 2006،",
"وإذ تقر بأن الأمين العام رحب بموافقة صندوق إنعاش لبنان على استضافة الصندوق الاستئماني لمعالجة أضرار الانسكاب النفطي في شرق البحر الأبيض المتوسط في إطار آليته القائمة، وإذ تعرب عن قلقها إزاء عدم تقديم أي تبرعات للصندوق الاستئماني حتى تاريخه،",
"1 - تحيط علما بتقرير الأمين العام عن تنفيذ قرار الجمعية العامة 65/147 المتعلق بالبقعة النفطية على الشواطئ اللبنانية⁽[4]⁾؛",

"3 - ترى أن البقعة النفطية أحدثت تلوثا شديدا في شواطئ لبنان وتلوثا جزئيا في الشواطئ السورية، وأنها خلفت بالتالي آثارا شديدة على سبل كسب العيش والاقتصاد في لبنان بسبب آثارها السلبية على الموارد الطبيعية والتنوع البيولوجي ومصائد الأسماك والسياحة والصحة البشرية في البلد؛",
"4 - تعيد تأكيد طلبها إلى حكومة إسرائيل أن تتحمل المسؤولية عن دفع تعويض فوري وكاف إلى حكومة لبنان والبلدان الأخرى التي تضررت بصورة مباشرة من البقعة النفطية، مثل الجمهورية العربية السورية التي تلوثت شواطئها جزئيا، عن تكاليف إصلاح الضرر البيئي الناجم عن التدمير، بما في ذلك إعادة البيئة البحرية إلى سابق حالها، وبخاصة في ضوء الاستنتاج الوارد في تقرير الأمين العام بأنه لا يزال هناك قلق شديد إزاء عدم تنفيذ الأحكام ذات الصلة بالموضوع من قرارات الجمعية العامة بشأن تكاليف جبر الأضرار والتعويض عما لحق بحكومة وشعب كل من لبنان والجمهورية العربية السورية من أضرار جراء الانسكاب النفطي؛",
"5 - تطلب إلى الأمين العام أن يواصل بحث خيار تأمين التعويضات في هذا الصدد من قبل حكومة إسرائيل؛",
"6 - تطلب أيضا إلى الأمين العام الوقوف على مدى قيمة تجربة لجنة الأمم المتحدة للتعويضات فيما يتعلق بتعريف الضرر البيئي في حالة مثل حالة البقعة النفطية هذه، في قياس وتحديد حجم الضرر الواقع وفي تحديد مبلغ التعويض الواجب دفعه في هذا الصدد؛",
"7 - تكرر تأكيد تقديرها للجهود التي تبذلها حكومة لبنان وللجهود التي تبذلها الدول الأعضاء والمنظمات الإقليمية والدولية والمؤسسات المالية الإقليمية والدولية والمنظمات غير الحكومية والقطاع الخاص في بدء عمليات تنظيف الشواطئ الملوثة وتأهيلها، وتشجع الدول الأعضاء والكيانات المذكورة أعلاه على أن تواصل تقديم دعمها المالي والتقني إلى حكومة لبنان من أجل إتمام عمليات التنظيف والتأهيل، بهدف المحافظة على النظام الإيكولوجي في لبنان وفي حوض شرق البحر الأبيض المتوسط؛",
"8 - ترحب بموافقة صندوق إنعاش لبنان على استضافة الصندوق الاستئماني لعلاج أضرار الانسكاب النفطي في شرق البحر الأبيض المتوسط، القائم على التبرعات، من أجل مد الدول التي تأثرت تأثرا سلبيا مباشرا بالمساعدة والدعم في مجال إدارتها المتكاملة والسليمة بيئيا، بدءا بالتنظيف ووصولا إلى التخلص الآمن من النفايات النفطية لهذه الكارثة البيئية الناجمة عن تدمير صهاريج تخزين النفط في محطة الجية لتوليد الكهرباء؛",
"9 - تنوه بأن الأمين العام حث في تقريره الدول الأعضاء والمنظمات الدولية والمؤسسات المالية الدولية والإقليمية والمنظمات غير الحكومية والقطاع الخاص على مواصلة دعمها للبنان في هذه المسألة، وبخاصة فيما يتعلق بأعمال التأهيل المضطلع بها على الساحل اللبناني وبجهود الإنعاش الأوسع نطاقا، وذكر أنه ينبغي تكثيف هذا الجهد الدولي لأن لبنان ما زال عاكفا على معالجة النفايات ورصد الانعاش، وتكرر دعوتها الدول والجهات المانحة الدولية إلى تقديم تبرعات مالية للصندوق الاستئماني، وتطلب في هذا الصدد إلى الأمين العام حشد المساعدة التقنية والمالية على الصعيد الدولي بما يضمن توافر موارد كافية ومناسبة للصندوق الاستئماني؛",
"10 - تقــر بتعدد أبعاد الأثر السلبي للبقعة النفطية، وتطلب إلى الأمين العام أن يقدم إلى الجمعية العامة في دورتها السابعة والستين تقريرا عن تنفيذ هذا القرار في إطار البند المعنون ”التنمية المستدامة“.",

"DECLARATION ON ANTI-VEHICLE MINES",
"Presented by Australia, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Slovenia and the United States of America",
"1. Each of our governments regrets that the Review Conference of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) was not in the position to adopt by consensus a new protocol containing legally-binding commitments with respect to mines other than anti-personnel mines as defined in the Protocol on the Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Mines, Booby-Traps and Other Devices as amended on 3 May 1996 (referred to as “MOTAPM” or anti-vehicle mines).",
"2. In view of its concern about the humanitarian impact of these weapons, each of our governments intends to take necessary steps to adopt the following practices as a matter of national policy:",
"(i) not to use any anti-vehicle mine outside of a perimeter-marked area if that mine is not detectable. A detectable mine is a mine that provides, upon emplacement, a response signal equivalent to a signal from eight grammes or more of iron in a single coherent mass buried five centimetres beneath the ground and can be detected by commonly-available technical mine detection equipment. A perimeter-marked area is an area that, in order to ensure the effective exclusion of civilians, is monitored by military or other authorized personnel, or protected by fencing or other means.",
"(ii) not to use any anti-vehicle mine outside of a perimeter-marked area that does not incorporate a self-destruction or self-neutralization mechanism that is designed and constructed so that no more than ten percent of activated mines fails to self-destruct within forty-five days after arming; and not to use any anti-vehicle mine outside a perimeter-marked area unless it also incorporates a back-up self-deactivation feature that is designed and constructed so that, in combination with the self-destruction or self-neutralization mechanism, no more than one in one thousand activated mines functions as a mine one hundred twenty days after arming.",
"(iii) to prevent the transfer of any anti-vehicle mine (a) to any recipient other than a State or State agency authorized to receive it; (b) if it does not meet the detectability and active life standards set out in this declaration, except for the purpose of destruction or for development of and training in mine detection, mine clearance, or mine destruction techniques; (c) to any State that has not stated the same policy that is set out in this declaration; and (d) without an end-user certificate.",
"These practices will be followed to the extent that each government deciding to take these steps does not already have in place more stringent practices to protect civilians from the potential impact of these weapons.",
"3. If circumstances change in the future, and it appears possible that consensus may be achieved on a protocol on anti-vehicle mines, each of our governments intends to join other governments in renewed efforts to adopt such a protocol, building on the work done on this subject over the last five years by the CCW coordinators.",
"4. Each of our governments encourages all States that have not announced an intention to apply the policies set out in this declaration to do so as promptly as possible."

"2. In view of the concern of both our Governments regarding the humanitarian consequences of these weapons, they intend to take the necessary steps to take the following practices as a national policy:",
"(i) The non-use of any anti-vehicle mines outside their perimeter area with markings if that mine is undetectable; the detectable mine is a mine that, when planted, gives a response signal equivalent to a signal issued by eight fines or more of the iron in a single cohesive mass buried on the ground in five centimetres that can be detected by devices normally used to detect mines. The area with markings is an area controlled by military or other authorized personnel, protected by fences or other means, to ensure the effective removal of civilians.",
"(ii) No anti-vehicle mines shall be used outside their perimeter area with markings not equipped with a self-destruction mechanism or a self-deactivation mechanism designed and manufactured so as not to exceed 100 self-destructed mines within forty-five days after arming them; no anti-vehicle mines shall be used outside their perimeter marked to secure counts.",
"(iii) To prevent the transfer of any anti-vehicle mines (a) to any non-State entity or government agencies authorized to receive them; (b) if the mine does not meet the standards set out in this Declaration with regard to the detection and active life of such mines, except for their transfer for the purpose of destruction, or to develop detection, clearance or destruction techniques and training in such techniques; (c) to any State that has not declared the same policy as defined in this Declaration; and (d) without a certificate issued.",
"These practices will be followed unless each of the Governments deciding to take these steps already has more stringent practices to protect civilians, which may have implications.",
"3. In the event that conditions change in the future, and a consensus can be achieved on the wording of a protocol on anti-vehicle mines, each of our Governments intends to join other Governments in reintroducing efforts towards the adoption of this Protocol, thus in response to the work done by the coordinators of the Convention over the past five years.",
