10月8日,出席第81届联合国大会裁军与国际安全委员会(联大一委)会议的中国代表团团长、外交部军控司司长孙晓波在一般性辩论发言,指出二战后国际秩序、以联合国为核心的国际体系、以《联合国宪章》宗旨和原则为基础的国际关系基本准则正遭遇严重冲击。
孙晓波强调,应坚持以史为鉴,反对开历史倒车。今年是联合国成立81周年,也是东京审判开庭80周年。当年,日本以承认军国主义罪行、接受《联合国宪章》全部内容为前提加入联合国。但日本现政权否认侵略历史、美化战争罪行、对二战战犯顶礼膜拜,同时持续强军扩武,加速“再军事化”,已成为威胁地区和平稳定的突出因素。
孙晓波说,日本现职高官公然发表“不设禁忌讨论拥有核武器”的狂妄言论,企图抛弃“无核三原则”,这是对国际核不扩散体系的严重挑衅和践踏。日本提出删除《联合国宪章》中的“敌国条款”,是其披着“国家正常化”外衣挑战战后国际秩序的最新例证。日本应该深刻反省侵略历史,彻底同军国主义切割,彻底放弃“再军事化”图谋,切实履行不扩散核武器的国际法义务。(央视记者 曹健)
