中国代表呼吁国际社会努力防止巴以局势彻底失控******
中新社联合国1月18日电 联合国安理会18日举行中东巴勒斯坦问题公开辩论会。中国常驻联合国代表张军在会上呼吁国际社会努力防止巴以局势彻底失控。
当天，联合国中东问题特使文内斯兰作通报。文内斯兰对约旦河西岸安全局势、宗教圣地事件、定居点问题等表示关切。他指出，去年12月8日到今年1月13日，以色列安全部队采取的行动共造成131名巴勒斯坦人受伤或丧生，与此同时，巴勒斯坦人针对以色列人的袭击导致5名以色列平民受伤。上述伤亡者中包括妇女和儿童，相关事态令人担忧。
张军发言说，2023年刚刚开启，巴勒斯坦被占领土的消极事态却接二连三，向和平稳定的反方向发展。当前，唯有坚定的政治意愿，紧急果断的外交行动，包括安理会在内整个国际社会的集体努力，才能防止巴以局势彻底失控。
张军强调，要切实维护耶路撒冷宗教圣地历史现状。宗教圣地事关信众宗教情感，多次引发流血冲突，十分敏感，不可不察。本月初，以色列政府官员进入阿克萨清真寺大院，加剧紧张局势，引发普遍担忧。安理会应中国和阿联酋要求进行了紧急讨论。中方的态度是明确的，必须按照安理会和联大决议要求，切实维护耶路撒冷宗教圣地历史现状，切实尊重约旦对宗教圣地的管辖权。有关各方要保持冷静与克制，以色列尤其应停止一切煽动挑衅。
张军说，以色列日前宣布扣除代征税款、停发建筑许可等一系列针对巴勒斯坦的惩罚性措施，不仅针对巴勒斯坦民族权力机构，也将对巴普通民众、民间社会造成冲击。中方强烈呼吁以色列听取安理会成员的压倒性呼声，重审有关决定，停止一切损害信任、加剧对立的单边行动。约旦河西岸动荡的安全局势和严重的平民伤亡同样令人关切。中方谴责一切针对平民的无差别袭击，谴责针对儿童的严重侵害，反对安全部队过度使用武力。中方鼓励巴以通过对话合作打破暴力循环，实现共同安全。
张军说，2022年前11个月，有851处巴勒斯坦人建筑被强拆或强征，其中包括援建的学校。定居点活动违反国际法和安理会决议，破坏被占领土的连贯性，严重侵蚀巴勒斯坦人民的生存空间。中方敦促以色列履行安理会决议义务，停止扩建定居点，停止强拆巴勒斯坦人房屋，停止对马萨费尔亚塔等地区民众的驱逐威胁，停止单方面改变被占领土现状。
张军表示，要以最大紧迫感全面落实“两国方案”。面对巴勒斯坦人民长期遭遇的历史不公，任何人都没有拖延的借口，没有不作为的理由。和平是可能的，所需要的是国际社会以时不我待的紧迫感，为推动巴以复谈付出更大努力，以联合国相关决议为基础，为推进“两国方案”采取实质性步骤。中方敦促在此方面有重要影响的国家秉持公正立场，承担应尽责任，拿出实际行动。中方将继续同国际社会一道，为巴勒斯坦问题全面公正持久解决作出不懈努力。(完)
中新网评：处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事******
中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称，将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对，企图将核污水“一倒了之”，把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。
资料图：日本福岛第一核电站。2011年，福岛核电站事故发生后，大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋，对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害，数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日，作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。
日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由，在2021年4月13日，正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多，日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。
日本政府辩称，这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全，甚至“可以喝”，这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。
事实上，经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质，核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收，长期来看，将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁，最终危害人类健康。
因此，核污水排海计划推出后，遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示，福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中，约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场，反对该计划。
日本政府认为，核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案，但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海，核污水会随着洋流流动，其影响势必会跨越国界，危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。
《韩国经济新闻》发文称，相关研究认为，福岛核污水如果排放入海，约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域，该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。
德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告，若日本将所有核污水排入海中，不到半年，整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁，包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。
日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国，有义务保护海洋环境。然而，在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上，日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。
国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估，但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论，并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下，日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设，这是极不负责任的行为。
太平洋不是日本的下水道，日本必须正视各方合理关切，在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后，制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远，若只顾眼前，执意将核污水排放入海，不仅其自身，周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单，其后果必将会危害数代人。
Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year.
Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business.
The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year.
The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public.
In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run.
Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public.
The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.
The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses.
According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan.
As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment.
However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact.
Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad.
The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies.
If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
