General recommendation No. 32 on the gender-related dimensions of refugee status, asylum, nationality and statelessness of women |
关于妇女的难民地位、庇护、国籍和无国籍状态与性别相关方面的第32号一般性建议 |
I. Introduction |
一. 导言 |
1. Through the present general recommendation, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women aims to provide authoritative guidance to States parties on legislative, policy and other appropriate measures to ensure the implementation of their obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Optional Protocol thereto regarding non-discrimination and gender equality relating to refugee status, asylum, nationality and statelessness of women. |
1. 消除对妇女歧视委员会旨在通过本一般性建议向缔约国提供关于立法、政策和其他适当措施的权威指导,以确保缔约国履行《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》及其《任择议定书》规定的有关与妇女的难民地位、庇护、国籍和无国籍状态相关的不歧视和性别平等的义务。 |
2. The Convention is a dynamic instrument that contributes and adapts itself to the development of international law. |
2. 《公约》是富有活力的文书,促进并顺应国际法的发展。 |
The present general recommendation builds on the Committee’s earlier general recommendations, including No. 19 on violence against women, No. 26 on women migrant workers, No. 28 on the core obligations of States parties under article 2 of the Convention and No. 30 on women in conflict prevention, conflict and post-conflict situations, as well as on reports of States parties under the Convention and the Committee’s concluding observations thereon. |
本 一般性建议借鉴了委员会以前的一般性建议,包括关于暴力侵害妇女问题的第19号一般性建议、关于移徙女工的第26号一般性建议、关于《公约》第2条规定的 缔约国核心义务的第28号一般性建议和关于妇女在预防冲突、冲突及冲突后局势中的作用的第30号一般性建议,以及缔约国根据《公约》提交的报告和委员会对 这些报告的结论性意见。 |
It also builds on the Committee’s consideration of individual communications and its conduct of inquiries under the Optional Protocol. |
它还借鉴了委员会根据《任择议定书》对个人来文的审议及其开展的调查。 |
3. In section III, the Committee seeks to ensure that gender equality and non-discrimination obligations are upheld by States parties to the Convention in respect of women asylum seekers and refugees throughout the displacement cycle, with a focus on asylum processes. |
3. 在第三节,委员会力求确保《公约》缔约国在寻求庇护的妇女和难民妇女流离失所的整个期间履行与其相关的性别平等和不歧视的义务,其中以庇护过程为重点。 |
In section IV, the Committee seeks to ensure that gender equality and non-discrimination principles are upheld by States parties in relation to women’s right to nationality, including the right to acquire, change or retain their nationality and to confer their nationality on their children and spouses. |
在第四节,委员会力求确保缔约国维护与妇女的国籍权相关的性别平等和不歧视原则,包括取得、改变或保留其国籍的权利以及将其国籍传给其子女和配偶的权利。 |
II. Scope of the general recommendation |
二. 一般性建议的范围 |
4. The scope and purpose of the present general recommendation must be determined in the context of the overall scope and purpose of the Convention, which is to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women in the recognition, enjoyment or exercise of all human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field, irrespective of their marital status. |
4.必须根据《公约》总的范围和宗旨确定本一般性建议的范围和宗旨。 《公约》总的范围和宗旨是在认识、享有或行使政治、经济、社会、文化、公民或任何其他领域的所有人权和基本自由方面消除对妇女一切形式的歧视,不论其婚姻状况如何。 |
Within this overall scope, the objective of the present general recommendation is to guide States parties on how to address all aspects of their obligations under the Convention and assume their obligations to respect, protect and fulfil the rights of refugee, asylum-seeking and stateless women to non-discrimination and substantive equality, in times of peace, in situations of international and non-international armed conflict and in situations of occupation. |
在这一总体范围内,本一般性建议的目的是指导缔约国如何履行其《公约》义务的所有方面,并在和平时期、国际和非国际武装冲突局势以及占领局势中承担尊重、保护和实现难民妇女、寻求庇护的妇女和无国籍妇女不受歧视和享有实质平等的权利的各项义务。 |
5. The Convention, as a gender-specific human rights instrument, covers other rights that are not explicitly mentioned therein, but that have an impact on the achievement of equality of women and men. {§1} |
5. 作为针对具体性别的人权文书,《公约》涵盖其中并未明文提及、但对实现男女平等产生影响的另一些权利。{§1} |
As such, the Convention provides a gender-sensitive interpretation of human rights law and protects women from sex- and gender-based discrimination with regard to all the human rights contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other human rights instruments. {§2} |
因此,《公约》对人权法作了对性别问题有敏感认识的解释,并在《世界人权宣言》和其他人权文书所载的所有人权方面保护妇女免受性别歧视和基于性别的歧视。{§2} |
Such application of the Convention was elaborated by the Committee in relation to the prohibition of violence against women as a form of discrimination against women in its general recommendation No. 19, in which it enumerated some of those protected rights, including the right to life and the right not to be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The present general recommendation specifically addresses the application of the Convention to the right to asylum contained in article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the principle of non-refoulement of refugees and asylum seekers in accordance with existing obligations under international refugee and human rights instruments and the right to nationality contained in article 9 of the Convention and the protection against statelessness. |
委员会在其第19号一般性建议中论述 将暴力侵害妇女行为作为对妇女的一种歧视形式加以禁止的问题时,详细阐述了《公约》的这种适用。 委员会在该一般性建议中,列举了一些受保护的这种权利,包括生命权和免受酷刑或残忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或处罚的权利。 本一般性建议具体说明《公约》对《世界人权宣言》第十四条所载的庇护权、对按照国际难民和人权文书规定的现有义务不驱回难民和寻求庇护者的原则、对《公 约》第9条所载的国籍权以及对防止无国籍状态的适用问题。 |
6. The Committee has, in previous general recommendations, clarified that articles 1, 2 (f) and 5 (a) of the Convention read together indicate that the Convention covers sex- and gender-based discrimination against women. |
6. 委员会在其以前的一般性建议中曾说明,如果一并阅读《公约》第1条、第2条(f)款和第5条(a)款,就会看到,《公约》涵盖对妇女的性别歧视和基于性别的歧视。 |
The Committee has explained that application of the Convention to gender-based discrimination falls under the definition of discrimination contained in article 1, which points out that any distinction, exclusion or restriction which has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise by women of human rights and fundamental freedoms is discrimination. Discrimination against women based on sex and/or gender is often inextricably linked with and compounded by other factors that affect women, such as race, ethnicity, religion or belief, health, age, class, caste, being lesbian, bisexual or transgender and other status. {§3} |
委 员会解释说,《公约》适用于基于性别的歧视,这符合第1条所载歧视定义的范畴。 该定义指出,任何区别、排斥或限制,其影响或其目的如妨碍或阻止妇女认识、享有或行使人权和基本自由,均为歧视。 基于生理性别和/或社会性别对妇女的歧视往往与影响妇女的其他因素如种族、族裔、宗教或信仰、健康状况、年龄、阶级、种姓以及女同性恋、双性恋或跨性别者 及其他身份等密不可分,并因这些因素而变得更加严重。{§3} |
Discrimination on the basis of sex or gender may affect women belonging to such groups to a different degree or in different ways to men. |
基于生理性别或社会性别的歧视对属于这些群体的妇女造成的影响程度或方式可能不同于男子。 |
States parties must legally recognize such intersecting forms of discrimination and their compounded negative impact on the women concerned and prohibit them. |
缔约国必须在法律上认定这些交叉重叠的歧视形式及其对相关妇女变本加厉的不利影响,并禁止此种歧视。 |
7. The Committee notes that the experiences of women during displacement, from asylum to integration, return or settlement in a third country, in addition to those of stateless women, are shaped by the action or inaction of various actors. |
7. 委员会指出,不同行为体的作为或不作为决定妇女在从庇护到就地安置、回返或前往第三国定居的整个流离失所期间的体验以及无国籍妇女的体验。 |
States parties bear the primary responsibility for ensuring that asylum-seeking women, refugee women, women nationality applicants and stateless women within their territory or under their effective control or jurisdiction, even if not situated within their territory, are not exposed to violations of their rights under the Convention, including when such violations are committed by private persons and non-State actors. {§4} |
缔约国有首要责任确保在其境内或即使不在其境内但在它有效控制或管辖范围内的寻求庇护妇女、难民妇女、申请国籍妇女和无国籍妇女不遭受侵犯其《公约》权利的行为之害,包括私人和非国家行为体的此种侵权行为在内。{§4} |
8. In the context of asylum, refugee status, nationality and statelessness, the obligation to respect requires that States parties refrain from engaging in any act of discrimination against women that directly or indirectly results in the denial of the equal enjoyment of their rights with men and ensure that State authorities, officials, agents, institutions and other actors acting on behalf of the State act in conformity with that obligation. {§5} |
8. 关于庇护、难民地位、国籍和无国籍状态,尊重的义务要求缔约国不从事直接或间接剥夺妇女享有与男子平等的权利的任何歧视妇女行为,并确保国家当局、官员、人员、机构和代表国家行事的其他行为体遵守这一义务。{§5} |
States parties also have a due-diligence obligation to take the legislative and other measures necessary to prevent and investigate acts of discrimination against women that are perpetrated by non-State actors, to prosecute and adequately punish perpetrators of such acts and to provide reparations to women who are victims of discrimination. |
缔约国还负有尽职尽责的义务,采取必要的立法和其他措施,防止并调查非国家行为体的歧视妇女行为,起诉和适当惩罚这种行为的犯罪人,并向歧视行为的受害妇女提供赔偿。 |
The obligation to protect requires States parties to, among other things, take all appropriate measures to ensure that State and private actors do not unlawfully infringe on the rights of women. |
保护的义务要求缔约国除其他外,采取一切适当措施,确保国家和私人行为体不非法侵犯妇女的权利。 |
The obligation to fulfil encompasses the obligation of States parties to facilitate access to and provide for the full realization of women’s rights. |
实现的义务包括缔约国为充分实现妇女的权利提供途径和条件的义务。 |
It also requires States parties to promote de facto or substantive equality with men through all appropriate means, including through specific and effective policies and programmes aimed at improving the position of women and achieving such equality, including, where appropriate, through the adoption of temporary special measures in accordance with article 4 (1) of the Convention and general recommendation No. 25. |
它还要求缔约国通过一切适当方式促进事实上或实质性的平等,包括为此采取旨在提高妇女地位和实现此种平等的具体和有效的政策和方案,诸如根据《公约》第4条第1款和第25号一般性建议酌情采取暂行特别措施。 |
III. Relationship between the Convention, international human rights law and international refugee law |
三. 《公约》、国际人权法和国际难民法之间的关系 |
9. The Convention is part of a comprehensive international human rights legal framework that operates simultaneously with international refugee law and the laws relating to the status of stateless persons and the reduction of statelessness. |
9. 《公约》是与国际难民法以及关于无国籍人地位和减少无国籍状态的法律同时运作的全面的国际人权法律框架的组成部分。 |
There is an important overlapping interrelationship between international human rights law, including the Convention, the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 Protocol thereto, and the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. |
在包括《公约》在内的国际人权法、1951年《难民地位公约》及其1967年《议定书》以及1954年《关于无国籍人地位的公约》和1961年《减少无国籍状态公约》之间有着重要的相互重叠关系。 |
The shared objective of the two protection regimes should ensure the complementary and cumulative protection of refugees, asylum seekers and stateless persons. |
这两种保护制度的共同目标应该确保向难民、寻求庇护者和无国籍人提供互为补充和彼此增强的保护。 |
10. The provisions of the Convention reinforce and complement the international legal protection regime for refugees and stateless women and girls, especially because explicit gender equality provisions are absent from relevant international agreements, notably the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 Protocol thereto, the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. {§6} |
10. 《公约》的条款强化并补充对难民和无国籍妇女及女童的国际法律保护制度,特别是因为相关的国际协定、尤其是1951年《难民地位公约》及其1967年《议 定书》、1954年《关于无国籍人地位的公约》和1961年《减少无国籍状态公约》没有明确的性别平等条款。 {§6} |
11. Given that the Convention applies at every stage of the displacement cycle, it serves to prohibit sex- and gender-based discrimination at every stage: during the refugee status determination procedure, throughout the return or resettlement process and throughout the integration process for women who have been granted asylum. |
11. 鉴于《公约》适用于流离失所周期的每个阶段,因此便可在确定难民地位程序的每一个阶段直至回返或重新安置进程以及已获准庇护妇女的重返社会进程中禁止性别歧视或基于性别的歧视。 |
It also applies to processes of statelessness determination and to processes relating to women acquiring, retaining or changing their nationality or conferring their nationality on their children and spouses. |
它还适用于确定无国籍状态的进程,以及妇女取得、保留或改变其国籍或将其国籍传给其子女和配偶的相关进程。 |
IV. Application of non-discrimination and gender equality to international refugee law |
四. 在国际难民法中适用不歧视和性别平等 |
A. General comments |
A. 一般性评论 |
12. While noting that the definition of a refugee under the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees provides criteria for the determination of refugee status in relation to persons who are explicitly covered under the Convention, the Committee notes that the present general recommendation covers all women in need of international protection under the Convention and seeks to apply the protection of the Convention to all women in the context of refugee status and asylum. |
12. 委员会虽然注意到1951年《关于难民地位的公约》中的难民定义为确定《公约》明确所涉人员的难民地位提供了标准,但同时指出,本一般性建议涵盖所有需要得到《公约》规定的国际保护的妇女,并力求使《公约》规定的保护适用于所有具有难民地位和寻求庇护的妇女。 |
However, the criteria provided by the definition of the word “refugee” in the 1951 Convention are important for the identification of women in need of international protection. |
然而,1951年《公约》对“难民”一词的定义所提供的标准对鉴别需要国际保护的妇女很重要。 |
At the same time, the Committee notes that regional refugee instruments and national laws have accepted and also expanded upon the definition given in the 1951 Convention to cover a range of persons in need of international protection for reasons of, variously, international or internal/non-international armed conflict and occupation, events seriously disturbing public order, serious human rights violations or generalized violence. {§7} |
与此同时,委员会指出,区域难民文书和国家法律已经接受并扩充了1951年《公约》对“难民”的定义,使之涵盖一系列因各种原因需要得到国际保护的人,如国际武装冲突或国内/非国际武装冲突以及占领、严重扰乱社会秩序的事件、严重侵犯人权的行为或普遍的暴力现象。{§7} |
13. The Committee notes that asylum seekers seek international protection on the basis that they cannot return to their country of origin because they have a well-founded fear of persecution or are at risk of being ill-treated or subjected to other serious harm. |
13. 委员会指出,寻求庇护者寻求国际保护的理由是他们无法返回原籍国,因为他们有充分的理由担心会遭到迫害或受到虐待或其他严重的伤害。 |
It also notes that under article 1A(2) of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees the reasons for persecution must be linked to one of the five grounds listed therein: race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion. |
委员会还指出,1951年《难民地位公约》第一条第㈠款(乙)项规定,迫害的理由必须与其中所列的五个理由之一相关:即种族、宗教、国籍、属于某一社会团体或具有某种政治见解。 |
Gender-related persecution is absent from the text. |
该条文没有列出与性别相关的迫害。 |
The present general recommendation is intended to ensure that States parties apply a gender perspective when interpreting all five grounds, use gender as a factor in recognizing membership of a particular social group for purposes of granting refugee status under the 1951 Convention and further introduce other grounds of persecution, namely sex and/or gender, into national legislation and policies relating to refugees and asylum seekers. |
本一般性建议力求确保缔约国在解释所有五个理由时采用性别视角,在为了根据1951年《公约》给予难民地位而确认某一特定社会群体成员时,将性别作为一个因素,并在国家法律和与难民及寻求庇护者相关的政策之中进一步提出迫害的其他理由,即社会性别和/或生理性别。 |
It should be noted that, in other international, national and regional contexts, asylum is also provided to persons who cannot be returned to their countries of origin owing to, among other things, threats to their lives or torture or inhuman or degrading treatment. |
应该指出,在国际、国家和区域的其他情况下,也向不能返回其原籍国的人提供庇护,其理由主要是他们面临生命或酷刑或不人道或有辱人格的待遇等威胁。 |
Those forms of complementary protection are also covered herein. |
本一般性建议也涵盖这些互为补充的保护形式。 |
14. There are many reasons why women are compelled to leave their homes and seek asylum in other countries. |
14. 迫使妇女离开家园并在其他国家寻求庇护的原因很多。 |
In addition to aggravated or cumulative forms of discrimination against women amounting to persecution, women experience violations of their rights throughout the displacement cycle. |
除了等同于迫害的严重或累积的歧视妇女行为外,妇女还在整个流离失所期间遭受侵权行为。 |
The Committee recognizes that displacement arising from armed conflict, gender-related persecution and other serious human rights violations that affect women compounds existing challenges to the elimination of discrimination against women. |
委员会认识到,由于武装冲突、与性别相关的迫害和影响妇女的其他严重侵犯人权的行为造成的流离失所现象加剧了消除对妇女歧视方面的现有挑战。 |
It also recognizes the persistence of other forms of exploitation concomitant with displacement, such as trafficking for purposes of sexual or labour exploitation, slavery and servitude. |
委员会还认识到伴随着流离失所的其他剥削形式继续存在,例如以性剥削或剥削劳动为目的的贩运活动、奴隶和奴役。 |
The Committee therefore reiterates the obligation of States parties to treat women with dignity and to respect, protect and fulfil their rights under the Convention at each stage of the displacement{§8} cycle, as well as in the enjoyment of durable solutions, including integration and/or resettlement in receiving States and/or voluntary repatriation to their State of origin. |
因此,委员会重申,在流离失所{§8} 周期的每个阶段以及在享有持久解决、包括在接受国就地安置和/或重新安置以及/或自愿返其回原籍国的过程中,缔约国有义务有尊严地对待妇女,并尊重、保护和实现她们的《公约》权利。 |
15. Gender-related forms of persecution are forms of persecution that are directed against a woman because she is a woman or that affect women disproportionately. {§9} |
15. 与性别相关的迫害形式是因某人是妇女而对她施加的那种迫害,或妇女受害比例特别大的那种迫害。{§9} |
The Committee observes that understanding the way in which women’s rights are violated is critical to the identification of those forms of persecution. |
委员会认为,了解妇女权利遭受侵犯的方式对查明这些迫害形式至关重要。 |
The Committee notes that violence against women that is a prohibited form of discrimination against women is one of the major forms of persecution experienced by women in the context of refugee status and asylum. |
委员会指出,构成违禁歧视妇女形式的暴力侵害妇女行为是难民妇女和寻求庇护的妇女遭受迫害的主要形式之一。 |
Such violence, just as other gender-related forms of persecution, may breach specific provisions of the Convention. |
这种暴力同其他与性别相关的迫害形式一样,可能违反了《公约》的具体条款。 |
Such forms are recognized as legitimate grounds for international protection in law and in practice. {§10} |
这些形式被视为在法律上和实践中提供国际保护的正当理由。{§10} |
They may include the threat of female genital mutilation, forced/early marriage, threat of violence and/or so-called “honour crimes”, trafficking in women,{§11} acid attacks, rape and other forms of sexual assault, serious forms of domestic violence, the imposition of the death penalty or other physical punishments existing in discriminatory justice systems, forced sterilization,{§12} political or religious persecution for holding feminist or other views and the persecutory consequences of failing to conform to gender-prescribed social norms and mores or for claiming their rights under the Convention. |
这些形式可能包括残割女性生殖器的威胁、强迫婚姻/早婚、暴力威胁和/或所谓的“名 誉犯罪”、贩运妇女、{§11} 浇淋酸液、强奸和其他形式的性攻击、严重的家庭暴力、存在于歧视性司法制度中的判处死刑或施行其他的体罚、强迫绝育、{§12} 以持有女权主义观点或其他观点为由施加的政治或宗教迫害、以及因不遵守以性别划分的社会规范和道德观念而造成的遭受迫害的后果,或因要求实现其《公约》权 利而造成的遭受迫害的后果。 |
16. Gender-related claims to asylum may intersect with other proscribed grounds of discrimination, including age, race, ethnicity/nationality, religion, health, class, caste, being lesbian, bisexual or transgender and other status. {§13} |
16. 与性别相关的庇护申请可能与其他被禁止的歧视理由相关,其中包括年龄、种族、族裔/国籍、宗教、健康状况、阶级、种姓、是女同性恋、双性恋或跨性别者或其他身份。{§13} |
The Committee is concerned that many asylum systems continue to treat the claims of women through the lens of male experiences, which can result in their claims to refugee status not being properly assessed or being rejected. |
委员会关切地注意到,许多庇护制度依然用男子的眼光看待妇女的申请,可能导致她们的难民地位申请得不到正确评估或遭到拒绝。 |
Even though gender is not specifically referenced in the definition of a refugee given in the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, it can influence or dictate the type of persecution or harm suffered by women and the reasons for such treatment. |
尽管1951年《难民地位公约》所载的难民定义没有具体提及性别,但性别仍然可以影响或决定妇女遭受的迫害或伤害的类型以及受到此种对待的原因。 |
The definition in the 1951 Convention, properly interpreted, covers gender-related claims to refugee status. {§14} |
1951年《公约》中的定义若适当解释,便涵盖了与性别相关的难民地位申请。{§14} |
It must be emphasized that asylum procedures that do not take into account the special situation or needs of women can impede a comprehensive determination of their claims. |
必须强调指出,不顾及妇女特殊情况和需求的庇护程序会妨碍对她们的申请作出全面的裁定。 |
For example, asylum authorities may interview only the male “head of household”, may not provide same-sex interviewers and interpreters to allow women to present their claims in a safe and gender-sensitive environment or may interview women asylum seekers in the presence of their husbands or male family members who may in fact be the source or sources of their complaints. |
举例而言,庇护当局可能只同男“户主”面谈,可能不提供同性别的面试人员和口译员使妇女能在安全和对性别敏感的环境中提出申请,或者或许在实际上可能就是投诉对象的丈夫或男性家庭成员在场的情况下同寻求庇护的妇女面谈。 |
B. Principle of non-refoulement |
B. 不驱回原则 |
17. The principle of non-refoulement of refugees is the cornerstone of refugee protection and is a norm of customary international law. |
17. 不驱回难民的原则是难民保护的基石,也是习惯国际法的一项准则。 |
Since its formal codification in the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, it has been developing and has been integrated into international human rights instruments, namely the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (art. |
自正式编入1951年《难民地位公约》以来一直在发展,并已被纳入国际人权文书,即《禁止酷刑和其他残忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或处罚公约》(第3条)和《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》(第7条)。 |
3) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (art. 7). In addition, the prohibition of refoulement to a risk of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment is codified in a number of regional human rights treaties and international non-binding documents. {§15} |
此外,禁止将难民驱回而使之面临遭受残忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或处罚的危险的条文已被编入一些区域人权条约和国际非约束性文件。 {§15} |
18. Bearing in mind that the vast majority of States have become parties to international instruments prohibiting the refoulement of asylum seekers and refugees, in addition to State practice and, among others, the practice whereby non-signatory States to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees host large numbers of refugees, often in mass-influx situations, the prohibition of refoulement of refugees, as enshrined in article 33 of the Convention and complemented by non-refoulement obligations under international human rights law,{§16} constitutes a rule of customary international law. {§17} |
18. 考虑到绝大多数国家已成为禁止驱回寻求庇护者和难民的国际文书的缔约国,并考虑到国家实践以及1951年《难民地位公约》非签署国往往在难民大规模涌入的 局势中收容大量难民的做法等等,《公约》第33条所载的禁止驱回难民的规定经国际人权法规定的不驱回义务的补充,{§16} 已构成习惯国际法的一项规则。{§17} |
19. Article 3 of the Convention against Torture prohibits removal of a person to a country where there are substantial grounds for believing that he or she would be in danger of being subjected to torture. |
19. 《禁止酷刑公约》第3条禁止将某人移送到有充分理由认为其有遭受酷刑危险的国家。 |
The Committee against Torture, in its general comment No. 2, has explicitly situated gender-based violence and abuse within the scope of the Convention against Torture. {§18} |
禁止酷刑委员会第2号一般性评论明确地将基于性别的暴力和虐待行为置于《禁止酷刑公约》的范围内。{§18} |
Articles 6 and 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights also encompass the obligation on States not to extradite, deport, expel or otherwise remove a person from their territory where there are substantial grounds for believing that there is a real risk of irreparable harm in the country to which the person will, or may subsequently, be removed. |
《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》第6条和第7条也规定,如果有充分理由认为某人在将移送的国家或随后可能移送的国家内确实有可能受到不可挽回的伤害,缔约国有义务不引渡、递解、驱逐或以其他方式将其移送出境。 |
The Human Rights Committee has further noted that the absolute prohibition of torture that is part of customary international law includes, as an essential corollary component, the prohibition of refoulement to a risk of torture, which entails the prohibition of any return of an individual where he or she would be exposed to a risk of torture, ill-treatment or arbitrary deprivation of life. |
人权事务委员会进一步指出,绝对禁止酷刑是习惯国际法的组成部分,其主要的必然内容包括禁止驱回某人而使其有遭受酷刑的危险,即禁止将某人遣返到会使其遭受酷刑、虐待或任意剥夺生命的危险的地方。 |
20. According to those human rights provisions, no asylum seeker or refugee is to be expelled or returned (refoulé) in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his or her life or freedom or the right to be free from torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment would be threatened. |
20. 根据这些人权条款的规定,任何寻求庇护者或难民都不得以任何方式加以驱逐或遣返(驱回),使其前往生命或自由或免遭酷刑或其他残忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或处罚的权利将受到威胁的领土境内。 |
21. The Committee notes that the Convention, as an instrument to prevent discrimination against women, contains no explicit provision on non-refoulement. |
21. 委员会指出,《公约》作为防止歧视妇女的文书,未载有明确的不驱回条款。 |
In the framework of its work on individual communications under the Optional Protocol, the Committee has had to address States parties’ objections to the effect that the Committee has no competence to deal with cases submitted on behalf of asylum seekers whose applications have been rejected at the national level but who claim that they would be exposed to the risk of sexual and/or gender-based violence and persecution if forcibly returned to their country of origin. |
委员会在按照《任择议定书》处理个人来文的工作框架内,不得不应对缔约国的反对意见,即认为委员会无权处理代表下述寻求庇护者提交的案件:这些寻求庇护者的申请已在国家一级被拒,但声称如果被强行遣返到原籍国,将面临遭受性和/或基于性别的暴力和迫害的危险。 |
In reply, the Committee has noted,{§19} among other things, that, under international human rights law, the non-refoulement principle imposes a duty on States to refrain from returning a person to a jurisdiction in which he or she may face serious violations of human rights, notably arbitrary deprivation of life or torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. |
委员会在答复中特别指出,{§19} 根据国际人权法,不驱回原则规定国家有义务不将某人遣返到该人可能面临严重侵犯人权行为、尤其是任意剥夺生命或遭受酷刑或其他残忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或处罚的管辖区。 |
In addition, the Committee recalls that civil and political rights and freedoms, including the right to life and the right not to be subjected to torture or ill-treatment, are implicitly covered by the Convention, and thus States parties are under the obligation not to extradite, deport, expel or otherwise remove a person from their territory to the territory of another State where there are substantial grounds for believing that there is a real risk of irreparable harm. |
此外,委员会还忆及,《公约》暗示了公民权利和政治权利以及自由、包括生命权和免遭酷刑或虐待的权利。 因此,如果有充分理由认为存在不可挽回伤害的真正危险,缔约国有义务不将某人引渡、递解、驱逐或以其他方式将其从该国领土上移送到另一国领土。 |
22. The Committee further considers that, under article 2 (d) of the Convention, States parties undertake to refrain from engaging in any act or practice of discrimination against women and to ensure that public authorities and institutions act in conformity with that obligation. |
22. 委员会还认为,《公约》第2条(d)款规定,缔约国承诺不采取任何歧视妇女的行为或做法,并确保公共当局和公共机构按这项义务行事。 |
That duty encompasses the obligation of States parties to protect women from being exposed to a real, personal and foreseeable risk of serious forms of discrimination against women, including gender-based violence, irrespective of whether such consequences would take place outside the territorial boundaries of the sending State party: if a State party takes a decision relating to a person within its jurisdiction, and the necessary and foreseeable consequence is that the person’s basic rights under the Convention will be seriously at risk in another jurisdiction, the State party itself may be in violation of the Convention. |
这项责任包括缔约国有义务保护妇 女免于遭受真正的、人身的和可预见的严重歧视妇女的行为,包括基于性别的暴力行为,不论这种后果是否将发生在实行遣送的缔约国领土之外:如果缔约国对其管 辖范围内的人作出决定,而其必然和可预见的后果是该人的基本《公约》权利将在另一个管辖区受到严重威胁,则缔约国本身就可能违反了《公约》。 |
The foreseeability of the consequence would mean that there was a present violation by the State party, even though the consequence would not occur until later. |
后果的可预见性意味着即使后果以后才会出现,缔约国目前就已经违反了《公约》。 |
23. The Committee is therefore of the view that States parties have an obligation to ensure that no woman will be expelled or returned to another State where her life, physical integrity, liberty and security of person would be threatened, or where she would risk suffering serious forms of discrimination, including serious forms of gender-based persecution or gender-based violence. |
23. 因此委员会认为,缔约国有义务确保不将任何妇女驱逐或遣返到其生命、身体健全、自由、人身安全将受到威胁或将遭受严重歧视、包括基于性别的严重迫害或基于性别的暴力行为的另一个国家。 |
What amounts to serious forms of discrimination against women, including gender-based violence, will depend on the circumstances of each case. {§20} |
怎样才算歧视妇女的严重行为、包括基于性别的暴力行为将视个案情况而定。{§20} |
C. Comments on specific articles of the Convention |
C. 对《公约》具体条款的评论 |
24. Articles 1-3, 5 (a) and 15 establish an obligation on States parties to ensure that women are not discriminated against during the entire asylum process, beginning from the moment of arrival at the borders. |
24. 第1至第3条、第5条(a)款和第十五条规定缔约国有义务确保妇女在从抵达边境时开始的整个庇护过程中不受歧视。 |
Women asylum seekers are entitled to have their rights under the Convention respected; they are entitled to be treated in a non-discriminatory manner and with respect and dignity at all times during the asylum procedure and thereafter, including through the process of finding durable solutions once asylum status has been recognized by the receiving State. |
寻求庇护妇女的《公约》权利有权得到尊重。 她们有权在庇护程序的所有时候以及在其后、包括在接受国承认其庇护地位后谋求持久解决办法的整个进程中获得不歧视和受尊重以及有尊严的待遇。 |
The receiving State has a responsibility towards women granted asylum status when it comes to helping them to, among other things, find proper accommodation, training and/or job opportunities, providing legal, medical, psychosocial support for victims of trauma and offering language classes and other measures facilitating their integration. |
接受国有责任帮助获得庇护地位的妇女找到合适的住处、培训和/或工作机会等,向遭受精神创伤者提供法律、医疗和社会心理支助,开设语文班,并采取其他措施,帮助她们融入社会。 |
In addition, women asylum seekers whose asylum applications are denied should be granted dignified and non-discriminatory return processes. |
此外,还应该向申请被拒的寻求庇护妇女提供有尊严和不歧视的回返服务。 |
25. Article 2 (c) of the Convention requires that State asylum procedures allow women’s claims to asylum to be presented and assessed on the basis of equality in a fair, impartial and timely manner. |
25. 《公约》第2条(c)款要求国家庇护程序准许妇女提出庇护申请,并以公平、公正和及时的方式平等地予以评估。 |
A gender-sensitive approach should be applied at every stage of the asylum process. |
应该在庇护进程的每个阶段都采用对性别问题有敏感认识的方法。 |
This means that women’s claims to asylum should be determined by an asylum system that is informed, in all aspects of its policy and operations, by a thorough understanding of the particular forms of discrimination or persecution and human rights abuses that women experience on grounds of gender or sex. |
这意味着裁定妇女庇护申请的庇护系统应该在其政策和行动的所有方面都彻底了解妇女因其社会性别或生理性别而遭受的歧视或迫害和侵犯人权行为的具体形式。 |
Owing to shame, stigma or trauma, some women may be reluctant to disclose or identify the true extent of the persecution that they have suffered or fear. |
由于羞愧、耻辱感或精神创伤,有些妇女可能不愿透露或指明她们遭受迫害的真实程度或恐惧。 |
Account needs to be taken of the fact that they may continue to fear persons in authority or rejection and/or reprisals from their family and/or community. |
需考虑她们可能继续害怕主管人员,或害怕遭到其家人和/或社区的嫌弃和或报复。 |
In any event, they should be entitled to appeal against first-instance asylum decisions. |
在任何情况下,她们都应该有权对一审庇护决定提出上诉。 |
26. In addition, articles 2, 15 (1) and 16 require States parties to recognize that women may present independent claims to asylum. |
26. 此外,第2条、第15条第(1)款和第16条要求缔约国承认妇女可独自提出庇护申请。 |
In this respect, their claims may also be based on fears relating to their children. |
在这方面,她们的庇护申请也可以以担心其子女为由。 |
For example, claims to refugee status may arise from a fear that their daughters will suffer female genital mutilation, be forced into marriage or be subjected to severe community ostracism and exclusion for being girls. {§21} |
例如,申请难民地位的理由可以是担心其女儿会被残割女性生殖器、被迫结婚、或者因为是女童而受到严重的社会摒弃和排斥。{§21} |
The child’s protection claim should also be considered on its own merits in a child-sensitive manner in the best interests of the child. {§22} |
应该也要出于儿童的最佳利益以对儿童问题敏感的方式根据案情本身情况考虑保护儿童的申请。{§22} |
Once the principal claimant is recognized as a refugee, other members of the family should normally also be recognized as refugees (“derivative status”). |
一旦主要申请人被承认为难民,其家庭的其他成员通常也应该被承认为难民(“衍生地位”)。 |
27. Harm perpetrated against women and girls is often at the hands of non-State actors, including family members, neighbours or society more generally. |
27. 对妇女和女童施加伤害的往往是非国家行为体,包括家庭成员、邻居或更广泛的社会。 |
In such cases, article 2 (e) of the Convention requires that States parties assume their due diligence obligation and ensure that women are effectively protected from harm that may be inflicted by non-State actors. {§23} |
在这种情况下,《公约》第2条(e)款要求缔约国承担尽职尽责的义务,并确保妇女得到有效保护,免受可能由非国家行为体施加的伤害。{§23} |
It does not suffice to strive for vertical gender equality of the individual woman vis-à-vis public authorities; States must also work to secure non-discrimination at the horizontal level, even within the family. |
争取在公共当局中实现妇女个人“纵向”的性别平等是不够的。 国家还必须努力实现“横向”甚至是家庭内的不歧视。 |
Harm perpetrated by non-State actors is persecution where the State is unable or unwilling to prevent such harm or protect the claimant because of discriminatory governmental policies or practices. {§24} |
非国家行为体施加的伤害在国家因歧视性的政府政策或做法而不能或不愿防止此种伤害或保护申请人的情况下就是迫害。{§24} |
28. The Committee is aware that, in cases in which persecution is perpetrated by non-State actors, receiving States have advanced the option of internal flight alternative, according to which a person is not at risk of persecution by non-State actors if he or she is relocated to a safe place within the State of origin. |
28. 委员会认识到,在非国家行为体施加迫害的情况下,接受国提出了可选用国内逃亡的办法。 按照此种办法,如果某人迁往原籍国内安全的地方,该人就不会有遭受非国家行为体迫害的危险。 |
The Committee recalls that articles 2 (d) and (e) of the Convention require that States parties ensure that women are protected against discrimination generated by non-State actors and, in the context of a refugee woman, it observes that the essence of refugee status is to provide effective protection to the refugee woman. |
委员会指出,《公约》第2条(d)款和(e)款要求缔约国确保妇女免受非国家行为体作出的歧视。 对难民妇女而言,委员会指出,难民地位的实质是向难民妇女提供有效的保护。 |
It also notes that, should the internal flight alternative be considered by receiving States, the option should be subject to strict requirements, such as the woman’s ability to travel to the area concerned and gain admittance and settle there. {§25} |
委员会还指出,如果接受国考虑采用国内逃亡的办法,则必须使这种选择符合严格的要求,例如妇女必须有能力前往有关地区,并获准进入和在那里定居。{§25} |
States should also take into account gender-related aspects and risks in the assessment as to whether internal relocation is permissible. {§26} |
国家还应该在评估是否准许内部迁移时考虑与性别相关的各个方面和风险。{§26} |
Difficulties faced by women in relocating to other parts of their countries of origin can include legal, cultural and/or social restrictions or prohibitions on women travelling or living alone, practical realities such as problems of securing accommodation, childcare and economic survival without family or community support, and risk of harassment and exploitation, including sexual exploitation and violence. |
妇女在迁往其原籍国其他地区时面临的困难可包括法律、文化和/或社会对独自旅行或居住的妇女的限制或禁止,现实世界中在没有家庭或社区支助的情况下获得住宿、儿童保育服务和经济生存等实际问题以及遭受骚扰和剥削、包括性剥削和暴力行为之害的危险。 |
29. The Committee acknowledges that, as a matter of international law, the authorities of the country of origin are primarily responsible for providing protection to the citizens, including ensuring that women enjoy their rights under the Convention, and that it is only when such protection is not available that international protection is invoked to protect the basic human rights that are seriously at risk. |
29. 委员会承认,作为国际法事项,原籍国当局负有向公民提供保护的首要责任,包括确保妇女享有其《公约》规定的权利,而且只有在无法提供此种保护时,才可求助国际保护来保护面临严重威胁的基本人权。 |
However, the Committee notes that the fact that a woman asylum seeker has not sought the protection of the State or made a complaint to the authorities before her departure from her country of origin should not prejudice her asylum claim, especially where violence against women is tolerated or there is a pattern of failure in responding to women’s complaints of abuse. |
不过委员会指出,寻求庇护的妇女在离开原籍国前没有寻求国家保护或向当局投诉这一事实不应该影响其庇护申请,尤其是在容忍暴力侵害妇女的行为或一贯不理会对妇女侵权投诉的情况下。 |
It would not be realistic to require her to have sought protection in advance of her flight. |
要求她在逃离之前寻求保护是不现实的。 |
She may also lack confidence in the justice system and access to justice or fear abuse, harassment or retaliation for making such complaints. {§27} |
她还可能对司法系统缺乏信任,并缺乏诉诸司法的途径,或担心作此投诉会遭到虐待、骚扰或报复。{§27} |
30. In line with the Convention, States parties are required to take proactive measures to ensure that the legally recognized grounds of persecution, including those enumerated in the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group and political opinion), are given a gender-sensitive interpretation. |
30. 按照《公约》,缔约国必须采取防范措施,确保对法律认定的迫害理由、包括1951年《难民地位公约》列举的理由(种族、宗教、国籍、属于某一社会团体和政治见解)作出对性别问题有敏感认识的解释。 |
In addition, gender may be used as a factor in recognizing membership of a particular social group or indeed as an identifying characteristic of such a group for purposes of granting refugee status under the 1951 Convention. |
此外,性别还可用作确认某一社会群体成员的因素,甚至可以在根据1951年《公约》给予难民地位时用作鉴别此种群体的特征。 |
States parties are also encouraged to add sex and or gender as an additional ground for refugee status in their national legislation. |
此外还鼓励缔约国在国内法律中将生理性别或社会性别增列为给予难民地位的另一个理由。 |
31. The Committee notes that women’s claims to asylum are regularly classified under the “social group” ground in the definition of a refugee, which may reinforce the stereotyped notions of women as dependent victims. |
31. 委员会指出,妇女的庇护申请通常被归入难民定义中的“社会团体”理由一类,这可能会强化将妇女视为从属受害者的刻板观念。 |
Article 5 of the Convention requires States parties to assess women’s claims to asylum without prejudices and stereotyped notions of women that are based on the inferiority or superiority of either sex. |
《公约》第5条要求缔约国在评估妇女的庇护申请时不带偏见,也不带基于男女尊卑的刻板观念。 |
Gender stereotyping affects the right of women to a fair and just asylum process and the asylum authorities must take precautions not to create standards that are based on preconceived notions of gender-based violence and persecution. {§28} |
性别定型观念影响妇女诉诸公平和公正的庇护进程的权利,庇护当局必须采取预防措施,不制定以先入为主的基于性别的暴力和迫害观念为依据的标准。{§28} |
In addition, women are active agents who play important roles as political leaders, members of Governments or opposition groups, journalists, human rights defenders and activists, lawyers and judges, among others. |
此外,妇女是积极的推动因素,她们以政治领袖、政府或反对派团体成员、记者、人权维护者和活动家、律师以及法官等地位发挥重要的作用。 |
They are targeted on account of their political opinions and/or activities, including the expression of women’s rights. |
她们由于其政治观点和/或活动、包括表达妇女权利而成为歧视对象。 |
Accordingly, article 7 of the Convention requires States parties to take action to realize equality for women in political and public life. |
因此,《公约》第7条要求缔约国采取行动,实现妇女在政治和公共生活中的平等。 |
It may therefore be appropriate that women bring claims to asylum on gender-related persecution grounds or political, religious, racial and ethnic grounds, including in situations in which they were compelled to flee their country of origin owing to external aggression, occupation, foreign domination or serious civil strife. {§29} |
所以难怪妇女以与性别相关的迫害理由,或以政治、宗教、种族和族裔理由,包括她们因外来侵略、占领、外国统治或严重的内乱而被迫逃离原籍国的情况提出庇护申请。{§29} |
32. Consistent with articles 2 (c) and 15 (1) of the Convention, States parties must take steps to eliminate discrimination against women in the public and private spheres and should confirm women’s equality with men before the law. |
32. 根据《公约》第2条(c)款和第15条第1款,缔约国必须采取措施,消除公共和私人领域中对妇女的歧视,并应该确认妇女在法律面前与男子平等。 |
To this end, States should take positive measures to ensure that women are not discriminated against and that they are provided with effective legal protection throughout the asylum process, including by providing legal aid, legal representation and assistance, as necessary. {§30} |
为此,国家应采取积极措施,确保妇女不受歧视,并确保在整个庇护过程中向她们提供有效的法律保护,包括提供必要的法律援助、法律代表和协助。{§30} |
33. Articles 3 and 10 to 13 of the Convention entail that women seeking asylum and women refugees be granted, without discrimination, the right to accommodation, education, health care and other support, including food, clothing and necessary social services, appropriate to their particular needs as women. |
33. 《公约》第3条和第10至13条规定,应该一视同仁地给予寻求庇护的妇女和难民妇女获得住宿、教育、保健和其他支助的权利,包括适合妇女特殊需求的食物、衣物以及必要的社会服务。 |
In addition, women refugees should be offered sources of livelihood and employment opportunities. {§31} |
此外,应该向难民妇女提供生计来源和就业机会。{§31} |
Obligations include providing information on their rights and practical information on how to gain access to such services in a language that they understand. |
此种义务包括以她们能理解的语文提供有关其权利的信息和有关如何获得这些服务的实用信息。 |
Given the high levels of illiteracy among women in some societies, special assistance may be required. |
鉴于一些社会中妇女的文盲率很高,可能需要提供特别协助。 |
34. Gender sensitivity should be reflected in reception arrangements, taking into account the specific needs of victims of sexual abuse and exploitation, of trauma and torture or ill-treatment and of other particularly vulnerable groups of women and girls. {§32} |
34. 接纳安排应该反映对性别问题的敏感认识,同时考虑性虐待和性剥削、精神创伤和酷刑或虐待行为受害者以及其他特别弱势的妇女和女童群体的具体需求。{§32} |
Reception arrangements should also allow for the unity of the family as present within the territory, in particular in the context of reception centres. {§33} |
接纳安排还应该顾及境内家庭的团聚,尤其是在接待中心这样做。{§33} |
As a general rule, pregnant women and nursing mothers, who both have special needs, should not be detained. {§34} |
通常而言,不应该拘留孕妇和哺乳期妇女,因为她们有特殊需求。{§34} |
Where detention of women asylum seekers is unavoidable, separate facilities and materials are required to meet the specific hygiene needs of women. |
在无法避免拘留寻求庇护妇女的情况下,必须提供单独的设施和用品以满足妇女的特殊卫生需求。 |
The use of female guards and warders should be promoted. |
应该推动使用女警卫和女看守。 |
All staff assigned to work with women detainees should receive training relating to the gender-specific needs and human rights of women. {§35} |
所有分配从事被拘留妇女工作的人员都应该接受与妇女的具体性别需求和人权相关的培训。{§35} |
Pursuant to articles 1, 2, 5 (a) and 12 of the Convention, failure to address the specific needs of women in immigration detention and ensure the respectful treatment of detained women asylum seekers could constitute discrimination within the meaning of the Convention. {§36} |
根据《公约》第1条、第2条、第5条(a)款和第12条,不满足移民羁押妇女的特殊需求和不确保以尊重的方式对待被拘留的寻求庇护妇女的情况可能构成《公约》所指的歧视。{§36} |
Not least for the purposes of avoiding violence against women, separate facilities for male and female detainees are required, unless in family units, and alternatives to detention are to be made available. {§37} |
除家庭单元外,必须为男女被拘留者提供单独的设施,并提供替代拘留的方式,部分是为了避免暴力侵害妇女。{§37} |
D. Specific recommendations of the Committee {§38} |
D. 委员会的具体建议{§38} |
35. States parties should review and remove any reservations to the Convention; consider ratifying the Optional Protocol to the Convention; and consider acceding to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 Protocol thereto, as well as to other relevant international and regional instruments. |
35. 缔约国应审查并撤销对《公约》的任何保留,并考虑批准《公约任择议定书》,并考虑加入1951年《难民地位公约》及其1967年《议定书》以及其他相关的国际和区域文书。 |
They should remove any reservations to those instruments, adopt an asylum law in line with those instruments and apply those instruments in a complementary manner. |
缔约国应撤销对这些文书的任何保留,通过符合这些文书的庇护法,并以相辅相成的方式适用这些文书。 |
36. States that are parties to regional refugee or asylum instruments should ensure that they respect the rights of women in need of international protection and apply those instruments in a gender-sensitive manner. |
36. 难民或庇护区域文书的缔约国应确保其尊重需要国际保护的妇女的权利,并以对性别问题有敏感认识的方式适用这些文书。 |
They should also ensure that women enjoy the benefits of those instruments without discrimination and on the basis of substantive equality. {§39} |
缔约国还应确保妇女不受歧视地和在实质上平等地享有这些文书的惠益。{§39} |
37. States parties should adopt legislation and other measures to respect the principle of non-refoulement, in accordance with existing obligations under international law, and take all measures necessary to ensure that victims of serious forms of discrimination, including gender-related forms of persecution, who are in need of protection, regardless of their status or residence, are not returned under any circumstance to any country in which their life would be at risk or where they might be subjected to serious forms of discrimination, including gender-based violence, or to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. {§40} |
37. 缔约国应采取立法和其他措施,按照国际法规定的现有义务遵守不驱回原则,并采取一切必要措施,确保在任何情况下都不将需要得到保护的遭受严重歧视行为、包 括与性别相关的迫害行为的受害者遣返到其生命将受到威胁或可能会受到严重歧视、包括基于性别的暴力行为或遭受酷刑或不人道或有辱人格的待遇或处罚的任何国 家,无论其地位如何或居住何处。{§40} |
38. States parties should interpret the definition of a refugee in the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees in line with obligations of non-discrimination and equality;HRI/GIP/12/09{§41} fully integrate a gender-sensitive approach while interpreting all legally recognized grounds; classify gender-related claims under the ground of membership of a particular social group, where necessary; and consider adding sex and/or gender, as well as the reason of being lesbian, bisexual or transgender, and other status to the list of grounds for refugee status in their national asylum legislation. |
38. 缔约国应根据不歧视和平等的义务解释1951年《难民地位公约》中的“难民”定义,{§41} 在解释法律确认的所有理由时充分采纳对性别问题有敏感认识的办法,必要时将与性别相关的申请归入以某一社会群体成员为由的类别,并考虑在国家庇护法的难民 地位理由清单中增列社会性别和或生理性别以及是女同性恋、双性恋或跨性别者及其他身份等理由。 |
39. States parties should report to the Committee on their national policy and legislation with regard to asylum seekers and refugees and gather, analyse and make available sex-disaggregated statistical data and trends over time on asylum claims, countries of origin, reasons for seeking asylum and recognition rates. |
39. 缔约国应向委员会报告其与寻求庇护者和难民相关的国家政策和立法,并收集、分析和提供按性别分列的统计数据以及一段时间以来在庇护申请、原籍国、寻求庇护的理由以及获准庇护的比率这方面的趋势。 |
40. States parties should ensure that adequate human and financial resources are made available for the implementation of the Convention in respect of asylum seekers and refugees, including gender-related aspects of that implementation, and seek technical advice and assistance as required. |
40. 缔约国应确保提供充分的人力和财力资源,以执行《公约》中与寻求庇护者和难民相关的规定,包括执行与性别相关的规定,并酌情寻求技术咨询和援助。 |
41. States parties should cooperate with all United Nations agencies, in particular the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), in relation to asylum systems and procedures to give effect to the provisions of the Convention and other instruments for refugees with a view to promoting the rights of women asylum seekers and refugees. {§42} |
41. 缔约国应该就庇护制度和程序同联合国所有机构、特别是联合国难民事务高级专员公署(难民署)开展合作,落实《公约》以及其他难民文书的条款,从而增进寻求庇护的妇女和难民妇女的权利。{§42} |
They should collaborate with civil society and grass-roots non-governmental organizations supporting women asylum seekers and refugees. |
缔约国应该同支持寻求庇护的妇女和难民妇女的民间社会和基层非政府组织合作。 |
42. Asylum procedures of States parties should ensure that women are able to lodge independent asylum applications and be heard separately, even if they are part of a family seeking asylum. |
42. 缔约国的庇护程序应确保妇女能独自提出庇护申请并单独面谈,即使她们是寻求庇护家庭的成员。 |
States parties should accept that, when the principal claimant is recognized as a refugee, other members of the family should normally also be recognized as refugees (“derivative status”). |
缔约国应该同意,在承认主要申请人为难民后,通常也应该承认家庭其他成员为难民(“衍生地位”)。 |
Just as a child can derive refugee status from the recognition of a parent as a refugee, a parent should be granted derivative status based on the child’s refugee status. {§43} |
正如子女可因其父母之一被承认为难民而获得难民地位一样,父母也应该根据子女的难民地位获得衍生地位。{§43} |
It is essential that women who are recognized as refugees, whether in their own right or as derivative status holders, be issued with individual documentation in order to prove their status, be protected from refoulement and secure associated rights. |
至关重要的是,必须向无论是因其本身权利还是作为衍生地位持有者而被承认为难民的妇女签发个人文件,以证明其地位、使其免遭驱逐并获得相关权利。 |
43. States parties should not deem that a woman asylum seeker lacks credibility for the mere reason of lack of documentation to support her asylum claim. Instead, they should take into account that women in many countries do not possess documentation in their respective countries of origin and seek to establish credibility by other means. |
43. 缔约国不应该仅仅因为寻求庇护的妇女没有充分的庇护申请佐证文件就认为她缺乏可信度,而是应该考虑到在许多国家妇女在其原籍国没有文件的事实,并努力通过其他途径确定其可信度。 |
44. States parties should ensure that their border police and immigration officials are adequately trained, supervised and monitored for gender-sensitivity and non-discriminatory practices when dealing with women asylum seekers and refugees. |
44. 缔约国应确保充分培训、监督和监测其边境警察和移民官员,使他们在对待寻求庇护的妇女和难民妇女时,能掌握对性别问题有敏感认识和非歧视性的做法。 |
They should ensure that they adopt and implement a gender-sensitive approach of a proper identification system for women asylum seekers and refugees that is not based on prejudices and stereotyped notions of women, including for victims of trafficking and/or sexual exploitation. {§44} |
缔约国应确保对寻求庇护的妇女和难民妇女、包括贩运和/或性剥削行为受害者采用并实施适当的鉴别系统,不以偏见和对妇女的刻板观念为依据,而且对性别问题有敏感认识。{§44} |
45. States parties should recognize that trafficking is part and parcel of gender-related persecution, with the result that women and girls who are victims of trafficking or who fear becoming victims should be informed of and effectively enjoy the right of access to asylum procedures without discrimination or any preconditions. |
45. 缔约国应认识到,贩运活动是与性别相关的迫害的组成部分,从而使贩运活动的受害妇女和女童或担心成为受害者的妇女和女童了解并切实享有不受歧视或没有任何先决条件地诉诸庇护程序的权利。 |
States parties are encouraged to classify victims of trafficking under the “social group” ground in the refugee definition in line with the UNHCR “Guidelines on international protection: the application of article 1A(2) of the 1951 Convention and/or 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees to victims of trafficking and persons at risk of being trafficked” and are recommended to take measures so that women and girls are not returned to places where they risk being retrafficked. |
鼓励缔约国根据难民署“国际保护准则:1951年《公 约》第一条第㈠款(乙)项和/或1967年《关于难民地位的议定书》对贩运活动受害者和面临遭受贩运危险的人的适用”,将贩运活动受害者归入难民定义中 “社会群体”理由一类,并建议缔约国采取措施,不将妇女和女童遣返到她们会面临再次被贩运危险的地方。 |
46. States parties should establish adequate screening mechanisms for the early identification of women asylum seekers with specific protection and assistance needs, including women with disabilities, unaccompanied girls,{§45} victims of trauma, victims of trafficking and/or forced prostitution, victims of sexual violence and victims of torture and/or ill-treatment. {§46} |
46. 缔约国应建立适当的甄别机制,以及早认定有特殊保护和援助需求的寻求庇护的妇女,包括残疾妇女、无人陪伴的女童、{§45} 精神创伤受害者、贩运和/或强迫卖淫行为受害者、性暴力行为受害者以及酷刑和/或虐待行为受害者。{§46} |
47. States parties should ensure that interviewers and decision makers at all levels have the necessary training, tools and guidance on the adjudication of gender-related asylum claims. |
47. 缔约国应确保各级面试人员和决策者掌握裁定与性别相关的庇护申请的必要培训、工具和指导。 |
In recognition of the relevant provisions of the Convention, States parties should develop policies in line with the present general recommendation and with the UNHCR “Guidelines on international protection: gender-related persecution within the context of article 1A(2) of the 1951 Convention and/or its 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees”. |
缔约国在承认《公约》相关条款的同时,应制定与本一般性建议以及难民署“国际保护准则:1951年《公约》第一条第㈠款(乙)项和/或其1967年《关于难民地位的议定书》所涉的与性别相关的迫害行为”相符的政策。 |
48. States parties should ensure, throughout the asylum procedure and during the integration process for women granted refugee status, an adequate standard of living, including safe accommodation, sanitary and health facilities, food, clothing and necessary social services, in addition to sources of livelihood and employment opportunities for women asylum seekers and refugees, and provide for appropriate monitoring and complaints mechanisms at reception facilities. {§47} |
48. 缔约国应该在整个庇护程序以及在获得难民地位妇女的就地安置过程中确保她们达到适足的生活水准,包括安全的住宿环境、卫生和保健设施、食物、衣物和必要的 社会服务,并确保寻求庇护的妇女和难民妇女获得生计来源和就业机会,并在接待设施提供适当的监测和投诉机制。{§47} |
49. States parties should recognize in their legislation that seeking asylum is not an unlawful act and that women asylum seekers should not be penalized (including by means of detention) for their illegal entry or stay if they present themselves to the authorities without delay and show good cause for their illegal entry or stay. {§48} |
49. 缔约国应该在其法律中承认寻求庇护不是非法行为,不应该因寻求庇护的妇女非法入境或逗留对她们进行处罚(包括拘留),只要她们毫不延误地向当局投案并提出其非法入境和逗留的正当理由。{§48} |
As a general rule, detention of pregnant women and nursing mothers, who both have special needs, should be avoided, while children should not be detained with their mothers unless doing so is the only means of maintaining family unity and is determined to be in the best interest of the child. |
通常而言,应该避免拘留孕妇和哺乳期妇女,两者都有特殊需求,同时不应该将子女与其母亲一起拘留,除非这是维持家庭团聚的唯一手段,而且确定这样做符合儿童的最佳利益。 |
Alternatives to detention, including release with or without conditions, should be considered in each individual case and especially when separate facilities for women and/or families are not available. |
应该对每一个案考虑采用代替拘留的办法,包括有条件或无条件释放,特别是在无法为妇女和/或家庭提供单独设施的情况下。 |
50. States parties should institute gender-sensitive procedural safeguards in asylum procedures to ensure that women asylum seekers are able to present their cases on the basis of equality and non-discrimination. |
50. 缔约国应在庇护程序中采用对性别问题有敏感认识的程序性保障措施,确保寻求庇护的妇女能平等和不受歧视地陈述其案情。 |
States parties should ensure: |
缔约国应确保: |
(a) That women asylum seekers have the right to an independent claim to asylum and, in this respect, to be interviewed separately, without the presence of male family members, so that they have the opportunity to present their case; |
(a) 寻求庇护的妇女有权单独申请庇护,并在这方面能在没有男性家庭成员在场的情况下单独面谈,使她们有机会陈述其案情; |
(b) That women asylum seekers are provided with information about the status of the determination process and how to gain access to it, in addition to legal advice, in a manner and language that they understand. |
(b) 以寻求庇护的妇女能够理解的方式和语文向她们提供关于地位确定进程和如何进入这一进程的信息,并提供法律咨询意见。 |
They should be informed of the right to and, upon request, be provided with, a female interviewer and interpreter; |
应该告诉她们使用女性面试人员和口译员的权利,并应要求向她们提供此种人员; |
(c) That women asylum seekers have access to competent legal representation in advance of the initial asylum interview. |
(c) 寻求庇护的妇女能在初次庇护面谈前获得合格的法律代理人。 |
Where necessary, they should be afforded legal assistance free of charge. |
必要时应该向她们提供免费法律援助。 |
Unaccompanied and separated girls must in all cases be assigned a qualified legal representative and a guardian to assist them through the asylum procedure and ensure respect for their best interests;{§49} |
应该在所有的案件中向孤身和失散的女童分配合格的法律代表和监护人协助她们通过庇护程序,并确保尊重她们的最佳利益;{§49} |
(d) That interviewers use techniques and procedures that are sensitive to gender, age and other intersectional grounds of discrimination and disadvantage that compound the human rights violations that women refugees and asylum seekers experience; |
(d) 面试人员采用对性别、年龄以及其他歧视和使妇女处境不利的交叉理由有敏感考虑的技术和程序,因为这些理由加剧了难民妇女和寻求庇护的妇女遭受的侵犯人权行为; |
(e) That a supportive interview environment is established so that the claimant can provide her account, including disclosure of sensitive and personal information, especially for survivors of trauma, torture and/or ill-treatment and sexual violence, and that sufficient time is allocated for interviews; |

(f) That childcare is made available during the interviews so that the claimant does not have to present her claim, involving sensitive information, in front of her children; |
(f) 在面谈期间提供儿童照料服务,使申请人不必在其子女面前提出她涉及敏感信息的申请; |
(g) That, while the woman asylum claimant normally bears the burden of proving her asylum case, the duty to ascertain and evaluate all the relevant facts is shared between the claimant and the examiner. The threshold for accepting asylum applications should be measured not against the probability but against the reasonable likelihood that the claimant has a well-founded fear of persecution or that she would be exposed to persecution on return; |
(g) 申请庇护的妇女通常负有证明其庇护案件的举证责任,但确定和评价相关事实的责任由申请人和审查人员分担;不应该根据申请人是否有可能在返回后受到迫害或有遭到迫害的风险来衡量接受庇护申请的最低要求,而是应该根据申请人有充分的理由担心受迫害的合理可能性来衡量; |
(h) That, in some cases, it may be for the examiner to use all the means at his or her disposal to produce the necessary evidence in support of the application, including by seeking and gathering gender-relevant information from reliable governmental and non-governmental sources on human rights in the country of origin; |
(h) 在有些案例中,可能要由检查人员使用其掌握的一切手段提出支持申请的必要证据,包括从可靠的政府和非政府来源寻求和收集与性别相关的有关原籍国人权的信息; |

(i) 申请人在庇护程序中逾期披露性暴力和其他精神创伤事件的情况不自动导致对她的可信度作出不利的判断。 |
Reluctance to identify the true extent of the persecution suffered or feared may stem from feelings of shame, stigma or trauma. |
不愿指明遭受的或担心会遭受的迫害的真实程度的原因可能是出于羞愧感、耻辱感和精神创伤。 |
Statements regarding the confidential nature of interviews, including that information provided by the woman will not be shared with members of her family without her consent, should be standard practice; |
不经她同意,不让其家庭成员获悉保密的面谈内容,包括该妇女提供的信息,应该是一种标准惯例; |

(k) That, should the application be rejected, the decision must be reasoned and the claimant should be able to appeal against it to a competent body; |
(k) 如果申请被拒,必须说明决定的理由,而且申请人应能够向主管机构提出上诉; |
(l) That, in the context of durable solutions, the voluntary return home from exile of refugees and their sustainable reintegration in safety are carried out with dignity and the social and economic security of refugees are secured. {§50} |

States who recognized the refugee status of women claimants should ensure that local integration is performed on the basis of equality and non-discrimination and that women are treated with dignity. |
承认妇女申请人难民地位的国家应确保以平等和不歧视的方式使她们融入当地社会,并确保有尊严地对待妇女。 |
V. Application of non-discrimination and gender equality to nationality determination processes and statelessness |
五. 在确定国籍的过程和无国籍状态方面实施不歧视和性别平等 |
A. General comments |
A. 一般性评论 |
51. The Convention is a significant tool in international efforts to prevent and reduce statelessness because it particularly affects women and girls with regard to nationality rights.A/61/10{§51} The Convention requires full protection of women’s equality in nationality matters. |
51. 《公约》是国际社会努力防止和减少无国籍状态的重要工具,因为《公约》对妇女和女童的国籍权产生特别的影响。 {§51} 《公约》要求充分保护妇女在国籍事项中的平等。 |
Nationality is the legal bond between a person and a State and is critical to ensuring full participation in society. |
国籍是个人与国家间的法律关系,对确保充分参与社会生活至关重要。 |
Nationality is also essential to guaranteeing the exercise and enjoyment of other rights, including the right to enter and reside permanently in the territory of a State and to return to that State from abroad. |
国籍还对保障行使和享有其他权利不可或缺,包括进入某一国家并在其境内长期居住以及从国外返回该国的权利。 |
Article 9 of the Convention is therefore essential to the enjoyment of the full range of human rights by women. |
因此,《公约》第9条对妇女享有所有人权极为重要。 |
While human rights are to be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of nationality status, in practice nationality is frequently a prerequisite for the enjoyment of basic human rights. |
虽然无论国籍地位如何,每个人都应享有人权,但在实践中,国籍往往是享有基本人权的先决条件。 |
Without nationality, girls and women are subject to compounded discrimination as women and as non-nationals or stateless persons. |
如果没有国籍,女童和妇女更会遭受作为妇女和作为非公民或无国籍人所遭受的歧视。 |
52. Article 9 (2) of the Convention provides that women are to have the same rights as men to acquire, retain or change their nationality, regardless of marriage and divorce and of what their husbands do with their own nationality. |
52. 《公约》第9条第2款规定,无论妇女已婚或离婚,她们都享有与男子同等的取得、保留和改变其国籍的权利,也享有与其丈夫同等的处理其自身国籍的权利。 |
Women are also, according to the Convention, to transmit their nationality to their children under the same conditions as their husbands, whether they are in their own country or abroad. |
按照《公约》,妇女还可以在与其丈夫同等的条件下将其国籍传给子女,无论她们是在自己的国家还是在国外。 |
53. Without status as nationals or citizens,{§52} stateless women and girls are often marginalized, deprived of the right to vote or stand for public office and may be denied access to public benefits, a choice of residence and free movement, in addition to access to various rights and benefits flowing from status as a national, including rights to education, health care, property or employment. |
53. 由于没有国民或公民身份,{§52} 无国籍妇女和女童往往被边缘化、被剥夺投票权或担任公职的权利,或许还无法获得公共福利,无法选择住所和自由流动,而且无法获得因国民身份而产生的各种权利和福利,包括受教育的权利、享受医疗保健的权利、财产权和就业权。 |
54. Nationality laws may discriminate directly or indirectly against women. |
54. 国籍法可能会直接或间接地歧视妇女。 |
Legislative provisions that appear gender neutral may in practice have a disproportionate and negative impact on the enjoyment of the right to nationality by women. |
表面看来不区分性别的法律条款可能会在实践中对妇女享有国籍的权利产生过分和不利的影响。 |
Women continue to be more likely than men to seek to change their nationality to that of their foreign spouse upon marriage to a foreigner and are therefore at greater risk of statelessness if there is a gap in nationality legislation that allows or requires them to renounce their nationality without having acquired or received assurances that they will acquire the nationality of the spouse. |
妇女依然比男子更有可能在与外籍人结婚后试图将自己的国籍改为其外籍配偶的国籍,因此,如果国籍法存在缺失,允许或要求她们在没有取得或得到将取得配偶国籍的保证的情况下就放弃其国籍,则她们就会面临无国籍的更大危险。 |
The prohibition of dual nationality in many nationality laws increases the likelihood of statelessness. |
许多国籍法禁止双重国籍,这增加了无国籍的可能性。 |
In many instances, women are not allowed to transmit their nationality to their foreign husbands. |
在许多情况下,妇女不准将其国籍传给其外籍丈夫。 |
Sex- and gender-based discrimination in nationality laws continues to have a significant and detrimental impact on the enjoyment by women and their children of their human rights. |
国籍法中的性别歧视继续对妇女及其子女享有人权产生重大和不利的影响。 |
Gender inequality persists in the nationality laws and practices of a significant number of countries and can lead to women becoming stateless. |
性别不平等继续在相当多国家的国籍法和惯例中存在,并可能导致妇女成为无国籍人。 |
Gender inequality can also render children stateless when their mothers are prevented, on an equal basis with fathers, from transmitting their nationality to their children. |
在不允许母亲与父亲平等地将其国籍传给子女时,性别不平等也可使儿童成为无国籍人。 |
In this way, discrimination against women can lead to a cycle of statelessness that can be perpetuated from generation to generation. {§53} |
于是,对妇女的歧视会导致无国籍状态一代一代地长久延续下去。{§53} |
55. Naturalization requirements may also indirectly discriminate against women because they may require the fulfilment of conditions or criteria that may be more difficult to meet for women than for men, such as acquiring proficiency in a host State’s language, which may be more difficult for women, including stateless women, who have suffered prior or current impediment of their right of access to formal education. |
55. 入籍要求也可能间接地歧视妇女,因为妇女可能比男子更难达到它们所要求达到的条件或标准,例如熟练掌握东道国语文。 这对包括无国籍妇女在内的妇女可能更为困难,因为她们接受正规教育的权利在以前或目前遭到妨碍。 |
Other requirements such as economic self-sufficiency or property ownership may also be more difficult for women to meet as individuals. |
其他要求,如经济上自给自足或财产所有权,也可能是妇女作为个人更难达到的要求。 |
Situations of statelessness following marriage to a foreigner and naturalization requirements, as mentioned in paragraph 54 above, can lead to women being dependent on men economically, socially, culturally and linguistically and, in turn, expose women to an increased risk of exploitation. |
上文第54段提及在与外籍人结婚后的无国籍状态以及入籍要求可导致妇女在经济、社会、文化和语言方面依赖男子,进而使妇女更面临遭受剥削的风险。 |
56. Birth registration is also closely linked to the enjoyment by women and their children of the right to a nationality. |
56. 出生登记也与妇女及其子女享有国籍权密切相关。 |
Birth registration provides proof of a person’s identity and acquisition of nationality based either on descent (jus sanguinis) or place of birth (jus soli). |
出生登记提供了一个人的身份证明并可根据血缘(“血统制”)或出生地(“出生地法”)获得国籍。 |
In practice, indirect discrimination, cultural practices and poverty often make it impossible for mothers, especially unmarried mothers, to register their children on an equal basis as fathers. |
在实践中,间接歧视、文化习俗和贫穷往往使母亲、尤其是未婚母亲,无法与父亲平等地为子女进行出生登记。 |
Failure to register a child’s birth may impair or nullify the child’s effective enjoyment of a range of rights, including the right to nationality, to a name and identity, to equality before the law and to recognition of legal capacity. |
不能为子女进行出生登记可能妨碍子女或使其无法切实享有一系列的权利,包括国籍权和拥有姓名及身份的权利、在法律面前平等的权利以及承认其法律能力的权利。 |
57. Discriminatory laws or practices may lead to women and their children being unable to gain access to documentation that proves their identity and nationality. |
57. 歧视性法律或惯例可能会导致妇女及其子女无法获得证明其身份和国籍的文件。 |
In the absence of proof of identity and nationality, a woman and her children may be faced with restrictions on freedom of movement, problems gaining access to diplomatic protection, prolonged detention pending determination of proof of identity and nationality and, ultimately, to a situation in which no State considers them to be nationals and they are rendered stateless. |
在没有身份和国籍证明的情况下,妇女及其子女可能会面临行动自由方面的限制,在获得外交保护方面遇到问题,在尚待认定身份和国籍证明期间遭到长期拘留,最后陷入没有任何国家认为他们是其国民的处境,从而使他们成为无国籍人。 |
58. Given the critical importance of nationality to the full participation of women in society,{§54} the significant number and nature of reservations made by some States parties to article 9 of the Convention undermine the object and purpose of the Convention. |
58. 鉴于国籍对妇女充分参与社会生活至关重要,{§54} 若干缔约国对《公约》第9条所作的数量甚多的保留及其性质损害《公约》的目标和宗旨。 |
The rights to nationality and non-discrimination contained in many other international human rights instruments,{§55} which reinforce the equal right of women to nationality, also raise the question of the validity and legal effect of such reservations. |
其他许多国际人权文书中{§55} 的国籍权和不受歧视的权利强化了妇女的平等国籍权,同时也对这种保留的有效性和法律效力提出了质疑。 |
The Committee notes with interest the trend towards the withdrawal or, at least, the narrowing of reservations to article 9 and the related tendency of States parties to introduce formal equality of men and women in nationality laws, thereby reducing the risk of discrimination against women and in particular of statelessness among women and their children. |
委员会感兴趣地注意到撤销或至少是缩小对第9条的保留的趋势,并注意到缔约国在国籍法中正式规定男女平等的相关倾向,从而减少了歧视妇女的危险,尤其是减少了妇女及其子女无国籍的危险。 |
B. Comments on specific articles of the Convention |
B. 对《公约》具体条款的评论 |
59. Article 9 of the Convention establishes that women enjoy the rights to acquire, change or retain their nationality and to confer their nationality on their children on an equal basis with men. |
59. 《公约》第9条规定,妇女与男子平等享有取得、改变或保留其国籍并将其国籍传给子女的权利。 |
The Committee has interpreted that this right also applies to spouses.{§56} |
委员会解释说这种权利也适用于配偶。 {§56} |
60. Article 9 (1) requires States parties to ensure that neither marriage to a foreigner nor change of nationality by the husband during marriage automatically changes the nationality of the wife, renders her stateless or forces upon her the nationality of the husband. |
60. 第9条第1款要求缔约国确保与外籍人结婚或在婚姻存续期间丈夫改变国籍均不自动改变妻子的国籍,使她成为无国籍人,或将丈夫的国籍强加于她。 |
Women can become stateless as a result of discriminatory laws and practices in which, for example, a woman’s nationality is automatically lost upon marriage to a foreigner and she cannot acquire her husband’s nationality on the basis of marriage; if her husband changes his nationality, becomes stateless or dies; or where her marriage ends in divorce. |
妇女可能因歧视性法律和惯例成为无国籍人,例如,妇女在与外籍人结婚但却无法以婚姻为由取得丈夫的国籍时自动丧失国籍;如果丈夫改变国籍、成为无国籍人或死亡,或是她的婚姻以离婚告终,她也会自动丧失国籍。 |
61. Article 9 (2) of the Convention requires States parties to ensure that women and men have equal rights to confer their nationality to their children. |
61. 《公约》第9条第2款要求缔约国确保妇女和男子有平等权利将其国籍传给子女。 |
The non-fulfilment by States parties of their obligations under article 9 (2) places children at risk of statelessness. |
如果缔约国不履行第9条第2款规定的义务,儿童就有可能处于无国籍状态。 |
Nationality laws that grant nationality through paternal descent alone infringe article 9 (2) and may render children stateless if: |
仅仅根据父系血统给予国籍的国籍法违反第9条第2款的规定,并可能使儿童在下述情况下成为无国籍人: |
(a) The father is stateless; |
(a) 父亲是无国籍人; |
(b) The laws of the father’s country do not permit him to confer nationality in certain circumstances, such as when the child is born abroad; |
(b) 父亲本国的法律不准他在子女出生于国外等某些情况下将国籍传给子女; |
(c) The father is unknown or not married to the mother at the time of the child’s birth; |
(c) 子女出生时生父身份不明或父亲未与母亲结婚; |
(d) The father has been unable to fulfil administrative steps to confer his nationality or acquire proof of nationality for his children because, for example, he has died, has been forcibly separated from his family or cannot fulfil onerous documentation or other requirements; |
(d) 父亲未能完成将其国籍传给子女的行政步骤或为子女取得国籍证明,例如因为他已死亡,被迫与家人分离,或无法满足繁琐的文件要求或其他要求; |
(e) The father has been unwilling to fulfil administrative steps to confer his nationality or acquire proof of nationality for his children, for example if he has abandoned the family. |
(e) 父亲不愿意履行各种行政步骤将其国籍传给子女或为子女取得国籍证明,例如因为他已经抛弃家庭。 |
62. Articles 1 to 3 of the Convention also support the right of women to benefit, on an equal basis with men, from naturalization for themselves and their spouses. |
62. 《公约》第1至第3条还支持妇女同男子平等地使本人及其配偶因入籍而获益的权利。 |
Discrimination against women in this respect impedes the reduction of statelessness. |
在这方面歧视妇女有碍于减少无国籍状态。 |
The same holds true when women are unable to confer their nationality on their stateless spouses. It may also create further risks of statelessness in the case of children born out of such unions. |
在妇女无法将国籍传给其无国籍配偶时也会出现同样的情况,还可能对此种结合所生的子女进一步造成无国籍风险。 |
C. Specific recommendations |

{§7} |
See Organization of African Unity Convention governing the specific aspects of refugee problems in Africa of 1969, article I (2), which states: “The term ‘refugee’ shall also apply to every person who, owing to external aggression, occupation, foreign domination or events seriously disturbing public order in either part of the whole of his country of origin or nationality, is compelled to leave his place of habitual residence in order to seek refuge in another place outside his country of origin or nationality”. |
见 1969年非洲统一组织《关于非洲难民问题某些特定方面的公约》, 第一条第2款,其中指出:“‘难民’一词还应适用于由于其原居地国或国籍国部分地区或全国所发生的外国入侵、占领、外来统治或严重扰乱公共秩序的事件,被 迫离开其惯常居所地,到其原居地国或国籍国境外的另一个地方寻求避难的每一个人”。 |
The Cartagena Declaration on Refugees, adopted by the Colloquium on the International Protection of Refugees in Central America, Mexico and Panama, held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, from 19 to 22 November 1984, states in section III (3) that “the definition or concept of a refugee to be recommended for use in the region is one which, in addition to containing the elements of the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol, includes among refugees persons who have fled their country because their lives, safety or freedom have been threatened by generalized violence, foreign aggression, internal conflicts, massive violation of human rights or other circumstances which have seriously disturbed public order”. |
1984年11月19至22日在哥伦比亚卡塔赫纳德印第 亚斯举行的中美洲、墨西哥和巴拿马国际保护难民问题座谈会通过的《卡塔赫纳难民宣言》第三(3)节指出,“建议用于本区域的难民定义或概念除了包含 1951年《关于难民地位的公约》和1967年《议定书》的内容外,还将因其生活、安全或自由受到普遍的暴力现象、外国侵略、内部冲突、大规模侵犯人权行 为或严重扰乱社会秩序的其他情况的威胁而逃离其国家的人包括在难民之中”。 |
In addition, directive 2011/95/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union of 13 December 2011 pertains to standards for the qualification of third-country nationals or stateless persons as beneficiaries of international protection, for a uniform status for refugees or for persons eligible for subsidiary protection, and for the content of the protection granted. |
另外,2011年12月13日欧洲议会和欧洲联盟理事会的第2011/95/EU号指令涉及以下标准:第三国国民或无国籍人成为国际保护受益人;可获得统一难民地位或具有获得辅助保护的人的资格;给予保护的内容。 |
