TED演讲稿_KarenTse_2011G如何停止刑讯逼供.docxVIP

1.In 1994, I walked into a prison in Cambodia, and I met a 12 year old boy who had been tortured and was denied access to counsel. 1994年我走进柬埔寨的一所监狱 遇见了一个12岁的男孩 他被刑讯逼供 并且禁止接触律师2.And as I looked into his eyes, I realized that for the hundreds of letters I had written for political prisoners, that I would never have 当我看着他的眼睛时，我意识到 尽管我曾经写过几百封 给政治犯争取权利的信，我恐怕不会3.written a letter for him, because he was not a 12-year-old boy who had done something important for anybody. 给他也写一封 因为这个12岁的孩子不是一个 为别人做出过重要贡献的人4.He was not a political prisoner. 他不是政治犯5.He was a 12-year-old boy who had stolen a bicycle. 他12岁成为囚徒 只因为偷了一辆自行车6.What I also realized at that point was that it was not only Cambodia, but of the 113 developing countries that torture, 93 of these countries have all passed laws 当时我还意识到 不仅仅在柬埔寨 而且在113个 存在刑讯逼供的发展中国家里 已经有93个国家通过了法律7.that say you have a right to a lawyer and you have a right not to be tortured. 宣布其公民有权聘请律师 而且有权不受逼供。8.And what I recognized was that there was an incredible window of opportunity for us as a world community to come together and end torture as an investigative tool. 我认为我们有一个 极好的机会 将整个国际社会联合起来 制止刑讯逼供9.We often think of torture as being political torture or reserved for just the worst, but, in fact, 95 percent of torture today is not for political prisoners. 我们时常把逼供看做 政治行为或者说 专门用于应对最坏的情况，可是其实 当今95%的逼供 并不针对政治犯10.It is for people who are in broken-down legal systems, and unfortunately because torture is the cheapest form of investigation -- its cheaper than having a legal system, 而是针对生活在 漏洞百出的法律体系下的人们 不幸的是刑讯逼供 是成本最低的审讯方法-- 比建立一个完善的法制的成本要低得多11.cheaper than having a lawyer and early access to counsel -- it is what happens most of the time. 也比请律师 和寻求前期法律咨询要便宜得多 大多数时候都是这样12.I believe today that it is possible for us as a world community, if we make a decision, to come together and end torture as an investigative tool in our lifetime, 我相信今天 如果我们团结起整个国际社会，共同作出一个决定 来制止刑讯逼供 我们有可能在有生之年达成目标13.but it will require thre
