关于香港政府决定对数位香港居民在2014年“占领中环”运动期间因组织和平抗议而进行起诉并定罪，美国对此决定表示失望。我们关切这个决定会限制或劝阻香港人行使《中英联合声明》保障他们的基本自由。
香港尊重其居民的言论自由和和平集会的权利——如《基本法》载入——这是重要的。我们期待法院和法官能够按照香港长期以来的传统保持独立和公平。
美国和我们的伙伴也在密切监视对香港《逃犯条例》的拟议修正案，该修正案会允许在共产党当局的要求下将个人转交给中国。
国务部2018年《中国人权报告》记载了中国法律制度对人权的侵犯行为以及对法治尊重的普遍减退的报道。
香港公民社会组织和私营机构协会，包括香港大律师公会、香港美国商会及其他商业团体，均表示反对拟议的修改。
当各种政治观点得到尊重并可以自由表达时，社会才会得到最好的服务。对“一国两制”框架的不断侵蚀使香港在国际事务中建立已久的特殊地位陷入险境。

The United States is disappointed by the decision of the Hong Kong Government to prosecute and convict several Hong Kong residents for organizing peaceful protests during the Occupy Central movement in 2014. We are concerned that this decision will limit or discourage the people of Hong Kong from exercising the basic freedoms guaranteed them under the Joint Declaration.
It is important for Hong Kong to respect its residents’ rights of freedom of speech and peaceful assembly, as enshrined in the Basic Law. We expect courts and judges to exercise independence and fairness, in accordance with Hong Kong’s longstanding traditions.
The United States and our partners are also closely monitoring proposed amendments to Hong Kong’s Fugitive Ordinance law, which would allow for individuals to be transferred to China at the request of Communist Party authorities.
The State Department’s 2018 Human Rights Report on China documents reports of human rights violations and abuses carried out by China’s legal system, as well as general deterioration of respect for the rule of law.
Hong Kong civil society organizations and private sector associations, including the Hong Kong Bar Association, American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, and other business groups, have expressed opposition to the proposed changes.
Societies are best served when diverse political views are respected and can be freely expressed. Continued erosion of the “One country, Two systems” framework puts at risk Hong Kong’s long-established special status in international affairs.

美国国务院发言人内德·普赖斯
我们代表美国人民，就释一行（Thích Nhất Hạnh）禅师圆寂表达我们诚挚的哀悼。释一行禅师是一位佛教僧侣、和平活动人士以及“入世佛教”（Engaged Buddhism ）运动和“梅村禅修传统”（Plum Village Tradition）的创立者。“梅村禅修传统”是一种弘扬正念的修行。

释一行禅师的威望远远超出了宗教界，世界将深切怀念他的真知灼见。回顾其一生，我们铭记他不可磨灭的贡献，以及他为人类留下的深刻印记。越南是释一行禅师出生和圆寂之地。我们的心与越南人民以及世界各地为释一行禅师的平和精神所启发的人们同在。

On the Passing of Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh
PRESS STATEMENT
NED PRICE, DEPARTMENT SPOKESPERSON
JANUARY 23, 2022
On behalf of the American people, we express our sincere condolences on the passing of Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh, a Buddhist monk, peace activist, and founder of the Engaged Buddhism movement and the Plum Village Tradition, a monastic practice centered on mindfulness.
A world-renowned and beloved teacher and spiritual leader who reached people of all faiths, Thích Nhất Hạnh spent more than 60 years championing religious freedom, human rights, non-violence, and love to all.  His life’s work earned him a Nobel Peace Prize nomination and many other commendations.
He was a prominent presence far beyond the spiritual community, and the world will sorely miss Thích Nhất Hạnh’s thoughtful voice.  As we reflect on his life, we remember his lasting legacy and the profound mark he left on humanity.  Our thoughts are with the people of Vietnam, where he was born and passed away, and also those around the world inspired by his gentle spirit.
五个核武器国家领导人就防止核战争和避免军备竞赛发表联合声明

2022年1月3日
中华人民共和国，法兰西共和国，俄罗斯联邦，大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国和美利坚合众国认为避免核武器国家之间的战争和减少战略风险是我们的首要责任。
我们申明核战争打不赢，也绝不能打。鉴于核武器使用将造成影响深远的后果，我们也申明，核武器只要继续存在，就应该服务于防御目的、威慑侵略和防止战争。我们坚信必须防止核武器进一步扩散。
我们重申应对核威胁的重要性，并强调维护和遵守我们的双边和多边不扩散、裁军和军备控制协议和承诺的重要性。我们仍然致力于履行《不扩散核武器条约》（NPT）各项义务，包括第六条规定的义务“就及早停止核军备竞赛和核裁军方面的有效措施，以及就一项在严格和有效国际监督下的全面彻底裁军条约，真诚地进行谈判。”
我们各方有意保持并进一步增强我们的国家措施，以防止未经授权或意外使用核武器。我们重申此前关于不瞄准的声明依然有效，重申我们不将核武器瞄准彼此或其他任何国家。
我们强调，我们愿与所有国家一起努力创造一个更有利于推进裁军的安全环境，最终目标是一个没有核武器、各方安全不受减损的世界。我们有意继续寻求双边和多边外交途径，以避免军事对抗，增强稳定性和可预见性，增进相互了解和信任，防止毫无益处且危及各方的军备竞赛。我们决心在相互尊重和认识到彼此安全利益和关切的情况下开展建设性对话。

JANUARY 03, 2022•STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
The People’s Republic of China, the French Republic, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America consider the avoidance of war between Nuclear-Weapon States and the reduction of strategic risks as our foremost responsibilities.
We affirm that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.  As nuclear use would have far-reaching consequences, we also affirm that nuclear weapons—for as long as they continue to exist—should serve defensive purposes, deter aggression, and prevent war.  We believe strongly that the further spread of such weapons must be prevented.
We reaffirm the importance of addressing nuclear threats and emphasize the importance of preserving and complying with our bilateral and multilateral non-proliferation, disarmament, and arms control agreements and commitments.  We remain committed to our Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) obligations, including our Article VI obligation “to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control.”
We each intend to maintain and further strengthen our national measures to prevent unauthorized or unintended use of nuclear weapons.  We reiterate the validity of our previous statements on de-targeting, reaffirming that none of our nuclear weapons are targeted at each other or at any other State.
We underline our desire to work with all states to create a security environment more conducive to progress on disarmament with the ultimate goal of a world without nuclear weapons with undiminished security for all.  We intend to continue seeking bilateral and multilateral diplomatic approaches to avoid military confrontations, strengthen stability and predictability, increase mutual understanding and confidence, and prevent an arms race that would benefit none and endanger all.  We are resolved to pursue constructive dialogue with mutual respect and acknowledgment of each other’s security interests and concerns.

乌克兰
2022年10月24日
 
作为法国外长、英国外交大臣和美国国务卿，面对俄罗斯发动的侵略，我们重申对乌克兰主权和领土完整的坚定支持。只要有必要，我们仍将坚决支持乌克兰为捍卫其领土所做的努力。 
今日早些时候，应俄罗斯国防部长谢尔盖·绍伊古的要求，法英美三国防长与其举行了会谈。三国明确指出，不接受俄罗斯关于乌克兰准备在其境内使用“脏弹”的明显虚假的指控。没有人会被利用这一指控作为局势升级借口的企图所蒙蔽。更广泛地来说，我们不接受俄方让局势升级的任何借口。 
面对普京总统发动的粗暴的侵略战争，我们还表示共同决心通过在安全、经济和人道主义方面提供援助，继续支持乌克兰和乌克兰人民。

OCTOBER 23, 2022
The text of the following statement was released by the Governments of the United States of America, France, and the United Kingdom.
We, the Foreign Ministers of France, the United Kingdom, and the United States, reiterate our steadfast support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia’s ongoing aggression. We remain committed to continue supporting Ukraine’s efforts to defend its territory for as long as it takes.
Earlier today, the defense ministers of each of our countries spoke to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu at his request. Our countries made clear that we all reject Russia’s transparently false allegations that Ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb on its own territory. The world would see through any attempt to use this allegation as a pretext for escalation. We further reject any pretext for escalation by Russia.
The Foreign Ministers also discussed their shared determination to continue supporting Ukraine and the Ukrainian people with security, economic, and humanitarian assistance in the face of President Putin’s brutal war of aggression.

关于美国退出巴黎协定
11/04/2019美国东部标准时间下午03:44
迈克尔·R·蓬佩奥国务卿
今天，美国开始了退出《巴黎协定》的进程。根据《协定》的规定，美国向联合国正式提交了退出的通知。退出将于此通知书送达后一年生效。
正如特朗普总统在2017年6月1日的讲话中所指出的，他做出退出《巴黎协定》的决定，是因为美国根据该协定做出的承诺给美国工人、企业和纳税人带来了不公平的经济负担。美国已经减少了所有类型的排放，即使我们正在发展我们的经济，并确保我们的公民有机会获得负担得起的能源。我们的结果不言自明:从1970年到2018年，美国影响人类健康和环境的标准空气污染物排放量下降了74%。2005年到2017年，美国的温室气体净排放量下降了13%，尽管我们的经济增长了19%以上。
美国的做法结合了全球能源结构的现实，清洁、高效地使用所有能源资源和技术，包括化石燃料、核能和可再生能源。在国际气候讨论中，我们将继续提供一种现实和务实的模式——以现实世界记录的成果为基础——表明创新和开放的市场会带来更大的繁荣、更少的排放和更安全的能源来源。我们将继续与我们的全球伙伴一起努力，增强应对气候变化影响的能力，做好应对自然灾害的准备。正如我们过去所做的那样，美国将继续研究、创新和发展我们的经济，同时减少排放，并向我们在全球的朋友和伙伴伸出援助之手。

On the U.S. Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement
11/04/2019 03:44 PM EST
Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State
Today the United States began the process to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.  Per the terms of the Agreement, the United States submitted formal notification of its withdrawal to the United Nations.  The withdrawal will take effect one year from delivery of the notification.
As noted in his June 1, 2017 remarks, President Trump made the decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement because of the unfair economic burden imposed on American workers, businesses, and taxpayers by U.S. pledges made under the Agreement.  The United States has reduced all types of emissions, even as we grow our economy and ensure our citizens’ access to affordable energy.  Our results speak for themselves:  U.S. emissions of criteria air pollutants that impact human health and the environment declined by 74% between 1970 and 2018.  U.S. net greenhouse gas emissions dropped 13% from 2005-2017, even as our economy grew over 19 percent.
The U.S. approach incorporates the reality of the global energy mix and uses all energy sources and technologies cleanly and efficiently, including fossils fuels, nuclear energy, and renewable energy.  In international climate discussions, we will continue to offer a realistic and pragmatic model – backed by a record of real world results – showing innovation and open markets lead to greater prosperity, fewer emissions, and more secure sources of energy.  We will continue to work with our global partners to enhance resilience to the impacts of climate change and prepare for and respond to natural disasters.  Just as we have in the past, the United States will continue to research, innovate, and grow our economy while reducing emissions and extending a helping hand to our friends and partners around the globe.

The People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) sanctions last month on four U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) commissioners, including Chair Nadine Maenza, Vice Chair Nury Turkel, and Commissioners Anurima Bhargava and James W. Carr, constitute yet another PRC affront against universal rights.  The PRC has previously sanctioned three other current or former USCIRF commissioners, in addition to dozens of current or former U.S. officials and organizations promoting democracy and respect for human rights around the world – all of which are without merit.  We remain undeterred by these actions, and we stand in solidarity with USCIRF and its staff.  The United States is committed to defending human rights around the world and will continue to use all diplomatic and economic tools to promote accountability.
Beijing’s continued attempts to intimidate and silence those speaking out for human rights only contribute to the growing international scrutiny of the ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang.  The United States again calls on the PRC to cease its acts of transnational repression, including coercive practices of imprisoning and denying freedom of movement to family members of Uyghur American activists, including individuals serving the American people.  These acts undermine the international rules-based order.
We support and stand with those who speak out on behalf of human rights and fundamental freedoms, including freedom of religion or belief.
“国际原子能机构宣布，在伊朗发现潜在未申报核材料的证据。伊朗无法对上述材料进行合理解释，而它必须解释这些核材料的来源和去向。本周早些时候我们还获悉，伊朗扣押了一名国际原子能机构的核察员。这种行为令人震惊，毫无根据。
美国完全支持国际原子能机构在伊朗的监测和核查活动，伊朗不予以充分配合，令我们感到担忧。必须允许国际原子能机构核察员不受阻碍地开展他们至关重要的工作。我们呼吁伊朗立即与原子能机构解决所有悬而未决的问题，并给予国际原子能机构核察员应有的特权和豁免。”

“The IAEA announced it detected evidence of potential undeclared nuclear materials in Iran.  Iran has no plausible explanation for the detected materials and must explain where these nuclear materials came from and where they are now. We also learned earlier this week that Iran had detained an IAEA inspector.  This is an outrageous and unwarranted act of intimidation.
The United States fully supports the IAEA’s monitoring and verification activities in Iran, and we are alarmed at Iran’s lack of adequate cooperation. IAEA inspectors must be allowed to conduct their critical work unimpeded. We call on Iran to immediately resolve all open issues with the IAEA and to afford Agency inspectors the privileges and immunities to which they are entitled.”
