安东尼·布林肯国务卿的声明
美国今天承诺追加提供4.575亿美元民事安全援助，以加强乌克兰执法和刑事司法机构为提高他们的行动能力并拯救生命所做的努力，他们正在继续帮助保卫乌克兰人民、他们的自由和他们的民主，以抵御克里姆林宫残酷的侵略战争。
自2021年12月中旬至今，美国已承诺提供超过6.45亿美元援助，对我们的乌克兰执法和刑事司法合作伙伴产生了切实的积极影响，其中包括乌克兰国家警察（National Police of Ukraine）和国家边防警卫局（State Border Guard Service）。我们提供的个人防护设备、医疗用品和装甲车大大减少了乌克兰平民及其保卫者的伤亡。乌克兰执法人员继续坚持不懈、积极主动、坚定不移地执行他们范围广泛的执法使命，并支持面临俄罗斯持续炮击的城镇中的无辜平民。
除了扩大我们对乌克兰执法部门的直接援助外，这批新援助中的一部分还将继续支持乌克兰政府记录、调查和起诉俄罗斯军队犯下的暴行，借助于我们与乌克兰刑事司法机构的长期关系，其中包括乌克兰总检察长办公室（Ukrainian Office of the Prosecutor General）及乌克兰国家警察负责战争罪行的部门。
美国与乌克兰人民肩并肩地站在一起，并继续致力于支持一个民主的、独立的、享有主权的乌克兰。

PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
SEPTEMBER 26, 2022
The United States today committed an additional $457.5 million in civilian security assistance to enhance the efforts of Ukrainian law enforcement and criminal justice agencies to improve their operational capacity and save lives as they continue to help defend the Ukrainian people, their freedom, and their democracy from the Kremlin’s brutal war of aggression.
Since mid-December 2021, the United States has now committed more than $645 million in assistance that has provided a tangible, positive impact on our Ukrainian law enforcement and criminal justice partners, including the National Police of Ukraine (NPU) and State Border Guard Service.  Our provision of personal protective equipment, medical supplies, and armored vehicles has significantly reduced casualties for Ukrainian civilians and their defenders.  Ukrainian law enforcement officers remain resilient, motivated, and determined to carry out their wide-ranging law enforcement missions and support for innocent civilians in towns and cities facing continuous Russian shelling.
In addition to expanding our direct assistance to Ukrainian law enforcement, a portion of this new assistance will also continue U.S. support for the Ukrainian government’s efforts to document, investigate, and prosecute atrocities perpetrated by Russia’s forces, drawing on our long-standing relationship with Ukrainian criminal justice agencies, including the Ukrainian Office of the Prosecutor General and the NPU’s war crimes unit.
The United States stands side-by-side with the Ukrainian people and remains committed to supporting a democratic, independent, and sovereign Ukraine.
Michael R. Pompeo speaking at International Commitment to Protect Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief 
今天，我们纪念第一个基于宗教或信仰的暴力行为受害者国际纪念日。这一天提醒人们需要促进和保护不可剥夺的宗教自由权利，以及各国未能这样做的后果。
促进宗教或信仰自由是全球社会的责任，也是特朗普行政当局的一项重要外交政策优先事项。因宗教导致的迫害继续增加，特别是在中国、伊朗和缅甸等国家。为了应对这一挑战，我上个月在华盛顿召开了第二届推进宗教自由部长级会议。这是国务部历史上同类活动中规模最大的一次活动，聚集了一千多名公民社会和宗教团体成员、一百多个政府，以及来自几乎每个信仰群体和无信仰群体的宗教迫害幸存者。我们一起向宗教界、政界和各族群发出了全球致力于反抗迫害和促进人人享有宗教自由的明确信息。
任何人都不应因为他们的信仰、改变信仰或改变他们在信仰群体中的成员身份而面临迫害。所有政府都有责任保护人们免受伤害，无论他们是何信仰，并追究迫害凶手的责任。

Today we mark the first International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief. This day serves as a reminder of the need to promote and protect the unalienable right of religious freedom, and the consequences when countries fail to do so.
Promoting freedom of religion or belief is a responsibility of the global community, and it is a key foreign policy priority for the Trump Administration. Persecution on account of religion continues to rise, especially in countries like China, Iran, and Burma. To address this challenge, I convened the second Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom in Washington last month. The largest event of its kind in the history of the State Department, it brought together more than a thousand members of civil society and religious communities, more than a hundred governments, and survivors of religious persecution from almost every faith community and none. Together, we sent a clear message across religious, political, and ethnic lines of a global commitment to fight persecution and promote religious freedom for all.
No one should face persecution on account of their faith, for changing beliefs, or switching their membership in a belief community. All governments have a duty to protect people from harm regardless of their beliefs, and to hold perpetrators of persecution accountable.

“I also want to call attention to the Iranian regime’s misinformation campaign surrounding the origination of the Wuhan virus.  Instead of focusing on the needs of the Iranian people and accepting genuine offers of support, senior Iranians lied about the Wuhan virus outbreak for weeks.”
The Iranian leadership is trying to avoid responsibility for their grossly incompetent and deadly governance.  Sadly, the Iranian people have been suffering these kinds of lies for 41 years. They know the truth: The Wuhan virus is a killer and the Iranian regime is an accomplice.”

国务卿安东尼·布林肯
7月1日，我们纪念香港主权移交中华人民共和国25周年。这一天当初被设想为“一国两制”框架下，所承诺的50年自治的中间点。然而，香港和北京当局现在很显然不再将民主参与、基本自由和独立媒体视为这个愿景的一部分。
2019年，数百万名香港人加入公开抗议，反对有争议的引渡条例。北京的回应——《国家安全法》——为过去两年来，自治遭到侵蚀、香港居民的权利和自由遭到破坏作了准备。当局将反对派人士投入监狱，其中许多人已被拘押超过一年之久。香港的领导层突击查抄独立媒体组织、关闭博物馆、移除公共艺术作品、削弱民主机构、推迟选举、阻止守夜活动、剥夺现任立法会议员的资格、实行效忠宣誓。政府官员一直在散布国外行为体是草根抗议幕后推手的虚假信息。他们这些所作所为都是在力图剥夺曾经对香港人做出的承诺。
我们与香港民众团结站在一起，增援他们的呼吁，恢复所承诺给他们的自由。

PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
JUNE 30, 2022
On July 1, we mark the 25th anniversary of the handover of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China.  This date was envisioned as the halfway point of 50 years of promised autonomy under the “One Country, Two Systems” framework.  Yet it is now evident that Hong Kong and Beijing authorities no longer view democratic participation, fundamental freedoms, and an independent media as part of this vision.
In 2019, millions of Hong Kongers joined public protests to oppose controversial extradition legislation.  Beijing’s response – the National Security Law – set the stage for an erosion of autonomy and dismantling of the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong residents over the last two years.  Authorities have jailed the opposition, with many imprisoned for more than a year.  Hong Kong’s leaders have raided independent media organizations, shuttered museums and removed public works of art, weakened democratic institutions, delayed elections, prevented vigils, disqualified sitting lawmakers, and instituted loyalty oaths.  Government officials have spread disinformation that grassroots protests were the work of foreign actors.  They have done all of this in an effort to deprive Hong Kongers of what they have been promised.
We stand in solidarity with people in Hong Kong and reinforce their calls for their promised freedoms to be reinstated.

安东尼·布林肯国务卿声明：对俄罗斯金融系统实施进一步制裁
 
今天美国与我们的盟国和伙伴协作，针对俄罗斯继续在乌克兰进行其有预谋的战争对俄罗斯金融系统实施进一步制裁。我们对乌克兰主权和领土完整的支持决不动摇，如果俄罗斯继续进行其选择的战争，我们将继续与我们的盟国和伙伴使其承受代价。
美国财政部外国资产管制办公室已禁止任何美国人进行与俄罗斯联邦中央银行（Central Bank of the Russian Federation）、俄罗斯联邦国家财富基金（National Wealth Fund of the Russian Federation）、或俄罗斯联邦财政部（Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation）相关的交易。此外，外国资产管制办公室也已对众所周知的为普京总统及其亲信服务的贿赂基金俄罗斯直接投资基金（Russian Direct Investment Fund）及其两个分支和执行长基里尔·德米特里耶夫（Kirill Dmitriev）实施了封锁制裁。
我们今天采取的行动旨在削弱俄罗斯利用其国际储备抵消我们制裁影响的能力，并且防止俄罗斯通过使用其财富基金支持正在对乌克兰进行的战争。
美国将继续与我们的伙伴和盟国密切协调，对俄罗斯向乌克兰发动战争施加严重后果。我们与我们的伙伴和盟国有着团结一致的目标、决心和意志，要俄罗斯对其侵略行径承担责任，尤其是那些选择这场战争的人。

Additional Measures Against the Russian Financial System
PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
FEBRUARY 28, 2022
In coordination with our allies and partners, the United States is taking further measures today against the Russian financial system in response to Russia’s continuing premeditated war against Ukraine.  Unwavering in our support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, we will continue to act with our allies and partners in imposing costs on Russia if it continues its war of choice.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has prohibited any U.S. person from conducting any transaction involving the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the National Wealth Fund of the Russian Federation, or the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. In addition, OFAC imposed blocking sanctions on the Russian Direct Investment Fund, a known slush fund for President Putin and his inner circle, two of its subsidiaries, and CEO Kirill Dmitriev.
We took today’s actions to impair Russia’s ability to use its international reserves in ways that undermine the impact of our sanctions, as well as to prevent Russia from accessing its wealth fund for use in its ongoing war against Ukraine.
The United States will continue to coordinate closely with our partners and allies to impose severe consequences on Russia for its war against Ukraine.  We share with our partners and allies unity of purpose, resolve, and determination to hold Russia to account for its aggression, particularly those responsible for this war of choice.

美国准备向乌克兰新增1亿美元民事安全援助，在乌克兰遭受普京总统有预谋、无端和无理攻击的情况下，增强乌克兰内务部维护基本边境安全、维持民事执法功能和保障关键政府基础设施安全的能力。
增加的资金将使乌克兰国家边防局和国家警察继续得到稳定的物资援助，包括个人防护装备，实地装备，战术设备，医疗用品，装甲机车，以及通讯设备。由于有美国政府提供的关键援助，乌克兰执法官员正在为救助遭到俄罗斯政府残酷攻击的受害者、引领和保护运送因这些攻击而背井离乡的民众的车队，以及在遭到无情和毁灭性炮击重创的平民地区维护治安发挥着关键作用。
美国继续与国际社会站在一起，支持乌克兰人民和政府捍卫民主和保家卫国。我们继续强烈要求普京停止暴力，管控军队，包括那些犯下战争罪行的人，并选择走和平与外交之路。我们致力于运用一切可能的手段，包括刑事起诉，追究战争罪和其他杀戮罪行的责任。

$100 Million in New U.S. Civilian Security Assistance for Ukraine

PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
MARCH 26, 2022
The United States intends to provide an additional $100 million in civilian security assistance to enhance the capacity of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs to provide essential border security, sustain civil law enforcement functions, and safeguard critical governmental infrastructure in the face of President Putin’s premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustified attack.
The increased funding will continue a steady flow of personal protection equipment, field gear, tactical equipment, medical supplies, armored vehicles, and communication equipment for the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service and the National Police of Ukraine. With the U.S. government’s vital assistance, Ukrainian law enforcement officers are playing a key role in rescuing victims of the Russian government’s brutal assault, leading and protecting convoys of those displaced by attacks, and providing security to civilian areas torn apart by ruthless and devastating bombing.
The United States continues to stand with the community of nations backing the people and government of Ukraine as they defend their democracy and country. We continue to urge Putin to end the violence, rein in his forces, including those who have committed war crimes, and choose the path of peace and diplomacy. We are committed to pursuing accountability for war crimes and other atrocities using every tool available, including criminal prosecutions.

FACT SHEET: U.S.-Africa Partnership in Promoting Peace, Security, and Democratic Governance

The U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington, D.C. reaffirmed that African leadership is critical to confronting today’s defining global peace, security, and democratic governance challenges.  In the Peace, Security, and Governance Forum, Secretary of Defense Austin, Secretary of State Blinken, USAID Administrator Power explored innovative, locally led, inter-ministerial, and multi-sectoral approaches to advancing democracy, peace, and security in the region.  Their discussion emphasized that fostering partnerships that are rooted in a mutual learning and collaboration with African nations, institutions, and people is essential to sustainable approaches to security.
The Civil Society Forum, with over 200 participants from a diverse range of civil society organizations, provided a platform to discuss opportunities to increase representation of marginalized voices in policymaking and public affairs, to strengthen efforts to counter corruption, and to promote workers’ rights.  The Forum reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to supporting, amplifying, and listening to civil society voices and demonstrated the dividends of accountable and inclusive government.
A balanced and comprehensive whole-of-government approach that includes defense, diplomacy, and development, and integrates African voices, is essential to develop and sustain democracy and advance security.  Since the beginning of the Biden-Harris Administration, the United States has invested and aims to provide more than $6.5 billion to support peace, security, democracy, human rights, and governance in Africa.  This includes efforts to develop African partners’ military capabilities; support peacekeeping efforts; advance women, peace and security objectives; increase African institutional capacity; promote gender equality, human rights, and the rule of law; empower civil society; strengthen accountability mechanisms; and support democratic transitions and institutions.

安东尼·布林肯国务卿声明：关于香港立法会选举的联合声明
我们——澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰外交部长和英国外相及美国国务卿，注意到香港立法会选举的结果，对特别行政区选举制度的民主元素受侵蚀表示严重关注。损害香港的权利、自由和高度自治正在威胁我们希望看到香港成功的共同愿望。
自从移交以来，曾有持多种多样不同政治观点的候选人参加了香港选举竞选。昨天的选举使这一趋势倒转。今年早些时候对香港选举制度作出的全面修改减少了直选席位，建立了一个新的审查程序，从而极大地限制了选票上的候选人选。这些改变把一切有意义的政治反对派排除在外。与此同时，香港的许多反对派政治人士——尤其突出的是“国安法案47人”（“NSL 47”）中的大部分人——继续在押待审，另外一些人流亡海外。
我们也继续严重关注《国家安全法》带来的更为广泛的阻吓效应以及言论自由和集会自由受到的愈加严格限制——这在公民社会各处有感。不支持政府议程的非政府组织、工会和人权机构被强迫解散或离开，媒体自由也迅速受到遏制。
保护和平的不同观点的空间是确保香港稳定与繁荣的最有效方式。我们敦促国中华人民共和采取与其国际义务相符的行动，尊重在香港受到保护的权利和基本自由，包括那些《中英联合声明》（Sino-British Joint Declaration）所保障的权利和基本自由。

Joint Statement on Hong Kong Legislative Council Elections
PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
DECEMBER 20, 2021
We, the Foreign Ministers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and the United States Secretary of State, noting the outcome of the Legislative Council elections in Hong Kong, express our grave concern over the erosion of democratic elements of the Special Administrative Region’s electoral system. Actions that undermine Hong Kong’s rights, freedoms and high degree of autonomy are threatening our shared wish to see Hong Kong succeed.
Since handover, candidates with diverse political views have contested elections in Hong Kong. Yesterday’s election has reversed this trend. The overhaul of Hong Kong’s electoral system introduced earlier this year reduced the number of directly elected seats and established a new vetting process to severely restrict the choice of candidates on the ballot paper. These changes eliminated any meaningful political opposition. Meanwhile, many of the city’s opposition politicians – most notably the majority of the “NSL 47” – remain in prison pending trial, with others in exile overseas.
We also remain gravely concerned at the wider chilling effect of the National Security Law and the growing restrictions on freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, which are being felt across civil society. NGOs, trade unions and human rights organizations not supportive of the government’s agenda have been forced to disband or leave, while media freedoms are being curtailed at pace.
Protecting space for peaceful alternative views is the most effective way to ensure the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong. We urge the People’s Republic of China to act in accordance with its international obligations to respect protected rights and fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong, including those guaranteed under the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
