对俄罗斯和白俄罗斯政府犯下的侵犯人权的行径追究责任

安东尼·布林肯国务卿的声明
美国在盟国及合作伙伴的支持下，正在采取行动对俄罗斯和白俄罗斯政府在他们的国境内外践踏及侵犯人权的行径追究责任。通过这样做，我们重申对普京总统在乌克兰发动有预谋的、无端无理的战争，以及卢卡申科政权为俄罗斯联邦的入侵提供支持和便利进行谴责。普京总统针对乌克兰的军事行动已造成深重的、本不应有的苦难，数以百计甚至可能数以千计的平民的伤亡，其中包括儿童，以及越来越多的有关践踏及侵犯人权的报道。
与此同时，俄罗斯政府加剧了对本国公民——包括媒体成员在内——的表达自由的压制，以及对结社自由与和平集会自由的压制。如今在俄罗斯，那些如实报道这场入侵或批评普京的人面临着刑事指控。同样地，白俄罗斯的卢卡申科政权继续暴力镇压公民社会、反战抗议人士、民主反对派、独立媒体和普通的白俄罗斯人。
对此，国务院宣布采取一系列行动，对俄罗斯联邦和白俄罗斯政府践踏及侵犯人权的行径追究责任。这些行动包括：
此外，财政部的外国资产管制办公室（Office of Foreign Assets Control）根据《2012年谢尔盖·马格尼茨基法治与责任法》(Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012)，正在针对俄罗斯联邦内务部车臣共和国分部的库尔恰洛伊地区（Kurchaloi District of the Chechen Republic Branch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation）的两名官员，库尔恰洛伊地区检察官和位于莫斯科的一名地区法院法官，实施制裁。外国资产管制办公室也重新将行径腐败的亚历山大·卢卡申科定为制裁对像，并且根据《第13405号行政命令》（E.O. 13405），将卢卡申科家庭成员加林娜·卢卡申科定为制裁对像。
以普京总统为首的俄罗斯当局一再攻击人权倡导人士、和平的异议人士和揭弊人，而且在对乌克兰进行无情战争的同时继续这样做。俄罗斯政府没有采取足够措施识别、调查、起诉或惩处侵权或违规的大部分官员，造成让这一切逍遥法外的氛围。同样，卢卡申科政权在加紧支持入侵乌克兰的同时，继续残酷镇压和平活动人士。我们正在以行动反击独裁者对民主的攻击。美国将继续要让那些在俄罗斯、乌克兰、白俄罗斯和其他地方支持、促成和犯下践踏人权行径的人承担责任。

Promoting Accountability for Human Rights Abuses Perpetrated by the Governments of Russia and Belarus

PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
MARCH 15, 2022
The United States, with support from Allies and partners, is taking action to promote accountability for the Russian and Belarusian governments’ human rights abuses and violations within and outside their borders.  In doing so, we reiterate our condemnation of President Putin’s premeditated, unjustified, and unprovoked war against Ukraine, as well as the Lukashenka regime’s support and facilitation of the Russian Federation’s invasion.  President Putin’s military campaign against Ukraine has caused extensive and needless suffering, many hundreds and likely thousands of civilian casualties, including children, and growing reports of human rights abuses and violations.
At the same time, the Russian government has intensified a crackdown against its own citizens’ freedom of expression, including for members of the press, as well as freedom of association and peaceful assembly.  Today in Russia, those who provide factual reporting on the invasion or criticize Putin face criminal charges. Similarly, the Lukashenka regime in Belarus continues its violent repression against civil society, anti-war protestors, the democratic opposition, independent media, and ordinary Belarusians.
In response, the Department of State is announcing a series of actions to promote accountability for the Russian Federation’s and Government of Belarus’s human rights abuses and violations. These include:
Additionally, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is imposing sanctions on Kurchaloi District of the Chechen Republic Branch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, two of its officers, a Kurchaloi District prosecutor, and a district court judge in Moscow, pursuant to the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012.  OFAC is also re-designating Alyaksandr Lukashenka for his corrupt practices, and, pursuant to E.O. 13405, designating Galina Lukashenka as a member of Lukashenka’s family.
Under President Putin, Russian authorities have repeatedly targeted human rights advocates, peaceful dissenters, and whistleblowers, and they continue to do so amidst their ruthless war on Ukraine.  The Russian government has failed to take adequate steps to identify, investigate, prosecute, or punish most officials who committed abuses or violations, resulting in a climate of impunity.  Likewise, the Lukashenka regime continues its brutal crackdown on peaceful activists while it intensifies its support to the invasion of Ukraine. We are taking action against this autocratic attack on democracy.  The United States will continue to promote accountability for those who support, enable, and perpetrate human rights abuses in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and elsewhere.
