UN Secretary-General's Message on World Mental Health Day

New York, 10 October 2010

联合国秘书长潘基文2010年世界精神卫生日致辞

2010年10月10日

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights guarantee the right of everyone to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, including to medical care and services, without discrimination of any kind.《世界人权宣言》和《经济、社会、文化权利国际公约》都规定，人人享有可达到的最高标准身体和精神健康的权利，包括不受歧视享有医疗保健服务的权利。

The constitution of the World Health Organization refers to the physical, mental and social aspects of our wellbeing, which are closely linked.Mental illnesses seriously affect our bodies and our social relationships, while physical health problems, especially when severe and protracted, can lead to social isolation and mental illness.世界卫生组织在其组织法中提及人类福祉中身体、精神和社会这三个密切相关的方面。精神疾病严重影响我们的身体和我们的社会关系，而身体疾病，特别是重病和慢性病，则导致病患在社会中陷于孤立并引发精神疾病。

But many countries fall far short in treatment for those suffering with mental illness – even though it is relatively inexpensive and easy to deliver.The vast majority of people with mental, neurological and substance use disorders do not receive even the most basic care.Yet such services are essential if we are to offer hope to some of the most marginalized people in the world, especially in developing countries, to live their lives in dignity.精神疾病的治疗相对容易，成本也较为低廉。但是，许多国家却远远没有做好治疗工作。绝大多数精神、神经和药物滥用患者，甚至无法得到最基本的治疗。然而，我们必须提供这种医疗服务，我们要给全世界、特别是发展中国家的最边缘群体带去有尊严生活的希望。

We must break down the barriers that continue to exclude those with mental or psychosocial

disabilities.There is no place in our world for discrimination against those with mental illness.There can be no health without mental health.我们必须克服障碍，要把精神和心理社会疾病患者融入我们的社会。在当今世界，任何地方都不得歧视精神疾病。精神健康是全面健康不可或缺的一部分。

Secretary-General's message for World Health Day 2010

联合国秘书长2010年世界卫生日致辞

2010年4月7日

For the first time in history, more people live in cities and towns than in rural areas.In a parallel trend, the burden of world poverty is also shifting from sparsely populated rural areas to densely populated cities.By mid-century, urban dwellers will count for seven out of every ten people.Most of this explosive growth is occurring in developing countries.Rapid, unplanned urbanization is expanding slums and informal settlements and municipal authorities are struggling to cope.城镇人口有史以来第一次超过农村人口。与此平行的另一趋势是，世界贫穷的负担也从人口稀少的农村地区转移到了人口密集的城市。到本世纪中叶，城镇居民将占总人口的十分之七。这种爆炸式的增长大都发生在发展中国家。快速而无计划的城市化造成越来越多的贫民窟和非正规住区，市政当局正穷于应对。

The disparity in people's income, opportunities, living conditions and access to services is most vividly reflected by the mirror of public health.The threats are numerous: inadequate sanitation and refuse collection;industrial and traffic pollution;infectious diseases that thrive on squalor and crowded conditions;high rates of tobacco use;physical inactivity;unhealthy diets;crime, violence and the use of harmful substances.人们的收入、机会、生活条件和可获服务极为不均，这最为清晰地反映于公共卫生方面。面临的威胁难以胜数：环卫设施和垃圾清收不足；工业和交通污染；在肮脏和拥挤的情况下容易滋生的传染病；烟民众多；不爱锻炼身体；不健康的饮食；犯罪、暴力和使用有害物质。

To a large extent these problems lie beyond the direct control of the health sector.Improving urban health therefore requires sound policies across all areas of government and awareness among all sectors of society.The broad family of UN agencies and programmes is involved in this effort: working to reduce air and noise pollution, traffic congestion and crime;helping to improve housing, sanitation and food and water safety.这些问题在很大程度上超出了卫生部门的直接控制。因此，改善城市卫生需要在政府工作各个领域实施健全的政策，需要社会所有部门都认识到这一问题。联合国广大的机构和方案参与了这项工作：努力减少空气和噪音污染、交通拥堵及犯罪现象，帮助改善住房、环境卫生以及食物和用水安全。

Although the threats to health in cities are many, there is also reason for optimism.The root causes of urban health problems are known.So, too, are the methods for dealing with them.On World Health Day 2010, more than 700 cities from around the world will share their success stories.Together, these policies, interventions and best practices show how we make cities healthy places to live.城市卫生面临的威胁有很多，但也有乐观的理由。城市卫生问题的根本原因众所周知。因此，处理这些问题的方法也很明了。在2010年世界卫生日，世界各地700多个城市将分享它们的成功故事。这些政策、措施和最佳做法共同可以向我们展示如何使城市成为健康生活之地。

Many problems can be solved through better planning and more effective use of standards and the legislation needed to enforce them.Actions need not be complex or costly.Interventions with a demonstrated impact range from using urban gardens and farms to promote nutrition education and physical activity to communities working together to reduce crime and violence.On this World Health Day, let us act to make our cities more nurturing for all.Urban health matters!

许多问题是可以通过更好的规划和更有效地利用各项标准及执行这些标准所必需的立法来解决。行动不需要多么复杂或昂贵。从利用城市花园和农场来促进营养教育和体育活动，到各社区共同努力减少犯罪和暴力现象，凡此种种，都是确实有效的干预措施。值此世界卫生日，让我们行动起来，使我们的城市对所有人都是一个更宜于修身养性的地方。城市卫生问题至关重要！

年月日抗生素和其他抗菌药物的发现促成人类健康的一些最令人瞩目的进展。在年代这些药物问世之前，各种传染病每年都夺去数千万人的生命。这些药物帮助减轻传染病的负担。初期成果主要出现在收入较高的国家，也出现在贫穷国家境内比较富裕的人群之中。但过去二十年来，新的公共卫生战略和筹资机制使较贫穷社区也能获得防治主要致命疾病的药物，这些疾病包括结核病、艾滋病毒、疟疾、肺炎和腹泻病。人类和动物用药的私营销售量也已显著扩增。这些成果影响深远，但随着抗药性微生物的出现，我们现正面临失去许多这些珍贵药物的危险。抗菌药抗药性是一种自然现象，但药物的广泛使用、过度使用和滥用以及在保健和农业方面各种抗药性传染病的蔓延加剧这种现象。贸易、旅行和迁徙正增加这些微生物跨越社区和国界的传播。––有些曾挽救过我们父母和祖父母生命的药物今天已无法使用。抗药性造成卫生系统的巨大成本，正在造成越来越多的、不必要的生命损失，可能抵消我们在卫生有关的千年发展目标方面所取得的许多进展。这种情况还可能破坏用于防治非传染性疾病的其他现代药物和技术所取得的成果。最令人担心的情况也许是：研制新型抗菌药以取代已失去的药物的管道几乎已经枯竭。世界卫生组织选择了“战胜抗菌药抗药性：今天不行动，明天无救药”作为今年世界卫生日的主题。抗菌药抗药性的出现是一个复杂的问题，涉及到方方面面的利益攸关方，迫切需要在各国国内和各国之间通过跨部门的综合应对措施积极予以解决。今天，世卫组织呼吁大家采取行动，通过以下六点政策总纲加强问责制并遏止抗药性的蔓延：共同规划；监测；药物监管；合理用药；预防和控制传染；创新和研究。各国政府、企业界和所有利益攸关方都必须响应这个号召。全球的健康和无数的生命正面临威胁。

联合国秘书长2000年致辞（中英对照）

全世界亲爱的朋友们:

今天,我们庆祝一个特殊的新年,它的年号不同凡响,是2000年。走进新千年之际,有许多事是我们许多人都应该感恩的。世界大部分地区平安无事。我们大多数人比自己的父母和祖父母受的教育多,预期寿命长,享有更大的自由和更广泛的选择。

新世纪带来新的希望,但也可能带来新的危险,或者是老危险换上了可怕的新形式。有些人担心,经济变化会毁掉我们的就机会和生活方式。又有些人担心偏见、暴力或疾病会蔓延。还有一些人担心,人类活动可能毁掉生命赖以存在的全球环境。谁也不能确实知道,这每一种危险到底有多么严重。但是我们知道,这些危险有一个共同点:它们都是不尊重国界的。即便是最强大的国家,如果单独行动,或许也无法保护其公民免受这些危险之害。在人类历史上,我们从未像现在这样休戚与共。只有共同面对,我们才能掌握自己的命运。

朋友们,这就是成立联合国的原因。

通过联合国,我们共同努力维护和平,禁止滥杀滥伤的武器,把大屠杀的凶手和战争罪犯绳之以法。

通过联合国,我们共同努力战胜艾滋病和其他流行病,控制气候变化,让每个人都能享受到洁净的空气和饮水。

通过联合国,我们共同努力确保全球市场让人人获益,使穷人摆脱贫困。

通过联合国,我们共同努力让每个人都能切实享受人权,使人人都能真正作出生活的选择,对影响其生活的决定获得真正的发言权。

在所有这些领域以及其他领域,联合国正在为大家工作。要是没有大家,联合国便难以有所作为。毕竟,联合国是大家的联合国,是全世界人民的联合国。所以,有大家的帮助,有大家的智慧,联合国才能发挥更大的作用。

朋友们,新的千年不必是恐惧或担忧的时代。如果我们共同努力,相信自己的能力,新千年可以成为希望和机遇的时代。一切全靠我亲约骸?

祝大家新年快乐!

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL'S VIDEO MESSAGE

FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM

My dear friends all over the world,Today we celebrate a special New Year with a momentous number: the Year Two

Thousand.As we move into a new Millennium, many of us have much to be thankful for.Most of the world is at peace.Most of us are better educated than our parents or grandparents, and can expect to live longer lives, with greater freedom and a wider range of choices.A new century brings new hope, but can also bring new dangers-or old ones in a new and alarming form.Some of us fear seeing our jobs and our way of life destroyed by economic change.Others fear the spread of bigotry, violence or disease.Others still are more worried that human activities may be ruining the global environmenton which our life depends.No one knows for sure how serious each of these dangers will be.But one thing they have in common: they do not respect state frontiers.Even the strongest state, acting alone, may not be able to protect its citizens against them.More than ever before in human history, we all share a common destiny.We can master it only if we face it together.And that, my friends, is why we have the United Nations.Through the United Nations, we are working together to preserve peace;to outlaw weapons that kill and maim indiscriminately;to bring mass murderers and war criminals to justice.Through the United Nations, we are working together to defeat AIDS and other epidemics;to control climate change;to make clean air and water available to everyone.Through the United Nations, we are working together to ensure that the global market benefits all of us, freeing the poor to lift themselves out of poverty.Through the United Nations, we are working together to make human rights a reality for everyone ?to give all human beings real choices in life, and a real say in decisions that affect their lives.In all these areas and more, the United Nations is working for you.But it can do little without you.After all, it belongs to youthe peoples of the world.And therefore it can work much better with your help and your ideas.My friends, the new millennium need not be a time of fear or anxiety.If we work together and have faith in our own abilities, it can be a time of hope and opportunity.It's up to us to make it so.Politics and World Affairs
