US: Thailand Fails to Fight Human Trafficking

美國稱，泰國未能成功打擊販賣人口活動

The 2014 Trafficking in Persons Report placed Thailand in a group known as Tier Three. That is the lowest rating among 23 countries that U.S. officials say are not doing enough to stop modern slavery.

《2014年度人口販運問題報告》將泰國歸在第三組中，這是在23個國家中是排名最低的，美國官員稱這一組成員在阻止現(xiàn)代奴隸制中做得太少。

The report tells about the tens of thousands of migrants to Thailand. Many of these people are forced to work in Thailand’s fishing industry or the sex trade. The Tier Three listing opens up Thailand and others to possible American sanctions.

該報告稱有成千上萬的人移民到泰國。他們中有很多人是被迫在泰國的水產(chǎn)工廠工作或是被迫從事性交易。第三組中的泰國和其他國家可能會受到美國的制裁。

The State Department studied 188 countries, including the United States. The report is aimed at forcing governments to take steps to help the estimated 20million victims of modern slavery.

美國國務院考察了包括美國在內(nèi)的188個國家。該報告目的在于迫使各國政府采取行動來幫助這些受現(xiàn)代奴隸制迫害的大約2000萬的受害者。

US Secretary of State John Kerry speaks during the release of the 2014 Trafficking in Persons Report.

Secretary of State John Kerry spoke to reporters in Washington last Friday. He called human trafficking one of the greatest threats to human dignity and freedom.

上周五美國國務卿克里在華盛頓對記者說，他認為人口販賣是對人的尊嚴和自由的最大威脅之一。

“It is a call to action to governments and citizens around the world to uncover modern slavery and hold it accountable, to identify the victims, to bring their abusers to justice. There cannot be impunity for those who traffic human beings. It must end.”

“這是對各國政府和全世界人民的號召，希望大家一起來揭露現(xiàn)代奴隸制的丑惡面，我們有責任幫助受害者，使那些迫害他們的人繩之以法。我們必須懲罰那些販賣人口的人，必須結(jié)束這種販賣人口行為。”

U.S. officials noted some hopeful news in the report this year. The State Department named 10 heroes in the effort to stop trafficking. They include Beatrice Jedy-Agba of Nigeria. She is the head of Nigeria’s National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking. Officials praised her efforts to help trafficking victims rejoin Nigerian society. They also praised her work with other nations to deal with trafficking in Africa.

在報道中，美國官員還著重提到一些鼓舞人心的新聞。美國國務院提名了在阻止人口販賣中貢獻較大的10名英雄。其中包括尼日利亞的Beatrice Jedy-Agba，她是尼日利亞禁止人口販賣國家機構(gòu)的主管。美國官員表揚了她幫助那些被販賣的受害者重返尼日利亞社會的行為，并稱贊她與其他國家一起努力解決非洲的人口販賣問題。

“I made a connection with those victims that I met, and I thought I’m going to help them through this and I’m going to make sure nobody else has to go through this ever again.”

“通過與那些我遇到的受害者進行接觸之后，我就開始想要去幫助這些人，并且我要努力確保以后不會再有人受到這樣的傷害。”

Secretary of State Kerry said he hopes more people and governments will answer his “call to action” – to fight what he calls the scourge of modern slavery. I’m Caty Weaver.

美國國務卿克里稱，他希望越來越多的人和國家政府可以響應他的“行動號召”，一起與現(xiàn)代奴隸制度的蹂躪作斗爭。
