新华社联合国1月26日电 中国常驻联合国代表傅聪26日在安理会国际法治公开辩论会上发言,敦促日方就日本首相高市早苗涉台谬论反思纠错。

傅聪说,第二次世界大战胜利捍卫了人类文明底线,也催生了现行国际法体系。80年前,远东国际军事法庭对日本战犯进行审判,严惩了一批双手沾满受害国人民鲜血的罪魁祸首,伸张了国际正义,维护了人类尊严,也对任何复辟军国主义、再行侵略扩张的不法企图作出强力警示。然而,近来日本首相高市早苗逆历史潮流而动,公然将中国台湾与日本“存亡危机事态”相关联,发出了可能武力介入台湾问题的错误信号,并拒不撤回自身错误言论。

傅聪表示,台湾回归中国是世界反法西斯战争的胜利成果,是二战后国际秩序的重要组成部分,这一铁的事实已从历史上、政治上、法理上得到牢牢锁定。高市谬论粗暴干涉中国内政,背弃日本作为战败国必须履行的国际义务,公然挑战以国际法为基础的国际秩序,严重违反以《联合国宪章》宗旨和原则为基础的国际关系基本准则。中方敦促日方正视历史,反思纠错,以实际行动给国际社会一个负责任的交代。
