UN: Southeast Asia’s Economic Success Has Led to Crime, Terrorism

聯(lián)合國稱東南亞經(jīng)濟(jì)成功導(dǎo)致了犯罪和恐怖主義

The United Nations says economic success in Southeast Asia has caused an increase in crime and terrorism.

聯(lián)合國表示，東南亞的經(jīng)濟(jì)成功導(dǎo)致了犯罪和恐怖主義的增加。

The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) said economic success has led to major improvements in infrastructure and a lessening of border controls in the region.

聯(lián)合國毒品和犯罪問題辦公室表示，經(jīng)濟(jì)成功導(dǎo)致了基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的重大改善以及該地區(qū)邊境管制的相應(yīng)減輕。

Aldo Lale Demoz is the deputy executive director of the UNODC.

奧爾多·拉勒·德莫茲(Aldo Lale Demoz)是聯(lián)合國毒品和犯罪問題辦公室副主任。

He said this success has also led to "growing security challenges -- including those posed by transnational crime and terrorist groups."

他說這種成功也導(dǎo)致了日益嚴(yán)重的安全挑戰(zhàn)，包括跨國犯罪和恐怖主義組織所帶來的挑戰(zhàn)。

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, reported the region's merchandise trade was $1.06 trillion in the first six months of 2016. About a quarter of that was among ASEAN nations.

東盟報(bào)告稱2016年前6個(gè)月該地區(qū)商品貿(mào)易總額為1.06萬億美元，其中約四分之一的貿(mào)易額發(fā)生在東盟國家之間。

Somchai Seanglai is an advisor to the Thai justice minister.

Somchai Seanglai是泰國司法部長的顧問。

He agreed that increased trade has led to the possibility of an increase in such crimes as human trafficking, drug trading and counterfeit goods -- along with the possibility of terrorists being able to move across borders more easily.

他認(rèn)同貿(mào)易提高可能導(dǎo)致了人口販運(yùn)、毒品交易和假冒商品等罪行的增加以及恐怖分子能夠更容易跨越國界。

Aldo Lale Demoz said the large amounts of money involved in transnational crime is a threat to countries in the region. It is estimated to exceed $100 billion a year.

德莫茲表示，跨國犯罪涉及的大量資金對該地區(qū)的國家構(gòu)成威脅，估計(jì)這類資金每年超過了1千億美元。

"This...is nearly double the legitimate GDP of countries such as Myanmar," he said.

他說，“這個(gè)數(shù)字幾乎等同于緬甸這類國家合法國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值的兩倍。”

Another concern is fear of terrorist attacks from those linked to the Islamic State. U.N. officials said at least 1,000 people have travelled to the Middle East as foreign fighters. Some of them are now returning.

另一項(xiàng)擔(dān)憂是害怕發(fā)生與伊斯蘭國有關(guān)的恐怖主義襲擊。聯(lián)合國官員表示，至少有1000人作為外國戰(zhàn)士去了中東，其中一些人正在返回。

ASEAN leaders met recently in Manila. They promised to deal with challenges and threats across borders that "undermine the stability and well-being of ASEAN member states and the region."

東盟領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人最近在馬尼拉會(huì)面。他們承諾應(yīng)對“破壞東盟成員國及該地區(qū)穩(wěn)定和福祉”的跨境挑戰(zhàn)和威脅。

Jeremy Douglas is the Asia Pacific UNODC regional representative. He said the meeting showed the need for countries in the region to work together.

杰里米·道格拉斯(Jeremy Douglas)是聯(lián)合國毒品和犯罪問題辦公室亞太地區(qū)代表。他說，這次會(huì)議表明該地區(qū)國家有必要共同努力。

"The leadership of the region agreed to start to prioritize securing borders of this region to counter transnational organized crime and terrorist threats, which appear to be expanding and growing in certain parts of the region," he said.

他說，“該地區(qū)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層同意開始重點(diǎn)保衛(wèi)該地區(qū)邊境，以打擊跨國有組織犯罪和恐怖主義威脅。這類犯罪和威脅似乎正在擴(kuò)張，并且在該地區(qū)特定區(qū)域不斷發(fā)展。”

He said Thailand has been working to stop criminals from crossing its borders. And eight countries have created special teams at ports to watch ships and reduce the risks of trafficking.

他說，泰國一直在努力阻止犯罪分子越過國界。同時(shí)有8個(gè)國家已經(jīng)在港口設(shè)立了專門小組監(jiān)控船只并減少販運(yùn)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

Douglas said the region must create a common security strategy.

道格拉斯表示，該地區(qū)必須創(chuàng)建共同安全戰(zhàn)略。

"At present there are different levels allowing international crime groups to take advantage of these differences," he said.

他說，“目前各國安全程度不一，使得國際犯罪組織得以利用這種差別。”
