聯合國一委員會譴責俄羅斯佔領克里米亞

A United Nations committee approved a draft resolution Tuesday condemning Russia's occupation of Crimea and reiterating that it does not accept Russian annexation from Ukraine.

The measure passed by a vote of 73-23 with 76 abstentions. It is expected to pass in the full U.N. General Assembly next month.

The text calls on Russia to uphold its international obligations as an occupying power, to take all steps necessary to immediately end abuses against residents in Crimea, to immediately release all those who were unlawfully detained, and ensure unimpeded access for human rights monitoring missions and workers.

A Russian Foreign Ministry official rejected the draft as one-sided and politically motivated.

"It completely ignores the negative impact that the actions of Ukrainian authorities have had on the residents of Crimea," he said.

Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 after protesters overthrew Kiev's pro-Moscow president. The conflict in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russian separatists and government troops has claimed the lives of more than 9,500 people.聯合國的一個委員會星期二通過一項決議草案，譴責俄羅斯佔領克里米亞，並且重申不會接受俄羅斯從烏克蘭吞併克里米亞。

決議案在委員會以73票贊成，23票反對，76票棄權而獲得通過。預計該決議案在聯合國大會下個月的全體會議上也將獲得通過。

決議案敦促俄羅斯作爲佔領一方要遵守其國際義務，採取一切必要措施立刻停止對克里米亞居民的虐待行爲，立刻釋放所有被非法拘捕的人，並保障人權觀察組織和人員不受阻礙地開展工作。

俄羅斯外交部一位官員抨擊這是一個出於政治目的、只反應一邊立場的決議案。他指出，“決議案完全忽略了烏克蘭當局的行動對這一地區居民造成的負面影響。”

2014年抗議者推翻了烏克蘭的親莫斯科總統後，俄羅斯吞併了克里米亞。烏克蘭東部親俄羅斯分離主義力量和政府軍的戰鬥已經造成9千5百多人死亡。
