트럼프 대통령, WHO 지원 중단 결정

admin 님 | 목, 2020/04/16- 23:15

연설을 하고 있는 트럼프 대통령

도널드 트럼프 대통령이 세계보건기구^WHO에 대한 지원을 중단하겠다고 발표했다. 이번 발표에 따르면 미국 정부는 세계보건기구의 코로나19^COVID-19 팬데믹^pandemic 대응에 대한 미국 행정부의 검토가 있을 때까지 해당 기구에 대한 자금 지원을 중단하기로 했다.

이에 대해 국제앰네스티 미국 국장 에리카 게바라 로사스^{Erika Guevara-Rosa}는 아래와 같이 밝혔다.

“100년만에 불어 닥친 최악의 보건 위기 상황에 맞서 전 세계적인 노력이 이어지고 있다. 자신의 행정부에 대한 비판을 피하고자 하는 트럼프 대통령의 이번 결정은 그런 노력을 약화시키고 있다.

이번 위기는 집단적인 노력만으로 해결할 수 있다. 코로나19는 국경 같은 것은 신경 쓰지 않는다. 이번 지원 철회 결정은 미국뿐만 아니라 타 국가에도 부정적인 영향을 끼치게 될 것이다. 다른 세계 지도자들이 세계보건기구에 대한 더 많은 지원을 약속하고 있는 지금, 지원 자원을 삭감하겠다는 트럼프 대통령의 제안은 생명을 구하고 바이러스의 확산을 막는 노력을 약화시킬 것이다. 세계보건기구가 일부 강력한 국가들의 변덕에 얽매이면 자신의 역할을 제대로 수행할 수 없게 된다. 다른 국가들 역시 트럼프 행정부의 이번 무모한 결정이 코로나19와의 싸움에 방해가 되지 않도록 최선을 다해야 할 것이다.

트럼프 정부는 이번 지원 중단 결정을 즉시 재고해야 한다. 미국은 국제 공중 보건 보호를 위해 오랫동안 헌신해왔다. 미국 의회 역시 행정부의 조치가 중단될 수 있도록 즉각 행동에 나서야 한다. 정치적 이익을 위해 사람들의 생명을 가볍게 여기는 이번 결정을, 역사는 기억할 것이다.”

배경 정보
세계보건기구는 세계 공중 보건을 지원할 의무를 가진 주요 국제기구다. 코로나19 팬데믹 대응에 주요한 역할을 수행할 뿐만 아니라 에볼라, 홍역, 말라리아, HIV와 AIDS 및 기타 여러 질병을 예방, 통제, 및 치료하기 위한 여러 프로그램을 진행하고 있다. 미국은 현재까지 세계보건기구에 가장 큰 기여를 하고 있던 국가였다.
트럼프 대통령은 취임 이후 주요 유엔 이니셔티브에서 탈퇴해왔다. 현재까지 미국은 유엔 인권 이사회, 유엔 문화기구^UNESCO, 기후변화에 대응하기 위한 세계 협정에서 탈퇴한 상태다.

[GPPAC] Calls for an inclusive, people-centered peacebuilding response to the COVID-19 pandemic

GPPAC calls for an inclusive, people-centered peacebuilding response to the COVID-19 pandemic

6 April 2020

As peacebuilders from around the world, united as the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC), we stand in solidarity with all those affected by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

The pandemic is causing physical and psychological suffering, as people and communities experience illness, loss and economic hardship, as well as isolation, fear, and despair. It is not just a challenge to human health, but to human dignity, and the values that we hold dearest as peacebuilders.

At a time like this, strengthening peacebuilding, human security and global cooperation as well as creating innovative, responsive, inclusive and multilateral conflict prevention strategies is more essential than ever.

We call upon governments, civil society, businesses, communities and individuals to put inclusive peace and human rights at the centre of all responses to the outbreak.

We call for:

A global ceasefire, to prevent a multiplication of suffering as the pandemic and armed violence intersect.

A unified response, without discrimination, racism, xenophobia and political division; and with protection of vulnerable and marginalised groups, including those now at greater risk of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.

Protection of civic space and human rights, this health crisis must not be used as an excuse to erode them.

International solidarity, including economic solidarity, in response to this crisis.

A transformative vision of a post-COVID-19 world, which centres people, prevention, peace, cooperation and human security.

A global ceasefire

We add our voices to the call of UN Secretary-General António Guterres for a global ceasefire. We are dedicated to preventing and ending violent conflict, as its staggering human cost is always unacceptable, and will be further exacerbated by the virus. Its impact will be greatest on societies where healthcare systems have collapsed or are already overburdened by war; on those who are fleeing or living in refugee camps, where physical distancing is near impossible, and access to clean water, good sanitation and healthcare is limited.

As peacebuilders, we are here to help support dialogue and mediation, and to seek a peaceful way forward together. We call for a permanent lockdown on war!

Unity over division

Governments, political, religious and community leaders, media and civil society: Do not allow this pandemic to be used as an excuse for xenophobia, racism, discrimination, stigmatisation, toxic nationalism, or perpetuation of international political divisions.

No-one is to blame. There is an urgent need for us to come together and work across divides to limit the spread and impact of the virus.

We call on governments to respond to the crisis in a non-discriminatory way, ensuring that support reaches all parts of society, in rural areas and cities, and includes marginalised and vulnerable groups. This includes the protection of those at increased risk of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence; and the protection of health workers. Equally important is the need to ensure that communication surrounding the disease and measures to address it is accurate, equal and accessible, taking into account language, literacy and disabilities, as well as access to communications media.

We encourage regional inter-governmental organisations to convene virtual dialogues and to invite civil society leaders, including women peacebuilders, young people, traditional indigenous leaders and faith community leaders to provide recommendations on response and recovery. Now, more than ever, we need a multi-stakeholder approach.

Protect human rights and civic space

We support temporary measures to slow or halt the spread of COVID-19. However, we call on governments in the strongest possible terms to respect human rights and to not abuse this moment to restrict civil rights and civic space or further militarize communities.

Do not violate people’s rights to privacy.

Address the spread of hate speech and false health information, but do not broadly restrict freedom of expression and speech and access to information.

Do not limit freedom of peaceful assembly any longer than is strictly necessary to halt this virus.

Do not use a state of emergency to bypass democratically elected bodies in policy making and legislation unrelated to the disease.

If events where civil society ordinarily has a voice are cancelled or taken online, ensure that civil society voices can still be heard.

Any measures taken should be necessary, proportional, and time bound. Emergency powers must have clear limitations and oversight and grievance mechanisms in place.

The UN and regional organizations must work to ensure that the response to the pandemic is progressive, peace-oriented and inclusive rather than authoritarian and exclusive.

As civil society, we are here to help limit the spread of the disease and its consequences: We can help convey accurate information, prevent panic, support community cohesion and assist in humanitarian response. We can contribute to a recovery strategy. We can help assess the human rights and conflict impact of measures taken. Do not silence us.

Solidarity at every level - but don’t divert funding

We stand in solidarity with all those affected around the world. We have seen and applaud beautiful examples of solidarity in communities, in countries and between nations. We call on governments, especially those of wealthy countries, to extend that solidarity across the world.

This pandemic impacts us all. However, in poorer countries the effects will be more intense, multiplied by weaker healthcare systems, malnutrition, lack of access to water, sanitation and information as well as a lack of opportunity for many to stay home without going hungry. The poor will also be hit in wealthy nations, for many of the same reasons.

We call on governments and wealthy nations in particular to address these inequalities on principle, but also because this virus is not restricted or confined by borders or gates: We need a global pandemic “Marshall Plan” to protect people, economies, and our collective future. A unified, coordinated strategy and pooling of resources is needed for just and inclusive recovery. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide an integrated framework to help rebuild, and particularly to address the needs of marginalised and vulnerable populations more quickly and comprehensively.

At the same time, we call on donors and donor countries not to divert funds from other issues: it remains as important as ever to build peace, address gender inequality, protect human rights, mitigate the climate crisis, fight hunger, and much more. Instead, lets create new aid packages to halt this pandemic, protect the vulnerable from its economic effects, and bolster healthcare systems around the world.

Local peacebuilders are first responders. Their work is critical and should be supported. We also call on donors to be flexible in allowing grantees to adjust their programmes to respond to this crisis, and to extend grants as a result of many planned activities having to be postponed.

A moment of opportunity

We have a shared responsibility to shape the world we want to live in once this pandemic has passed. As a community of peacebuilders we have bigger dreams than a return to the pre-pandemic status quo. As humanity, we have a chance:

To end wars and build peace.

To contribute to achieving all the Sustainable Development Goals.

To (re)build the public good and public institutions.

To recommit to international cooperation for the benefit of humankind, and advance reform of the international institutional architecture, including the UN system.

To realise a true shift to prevention – in healthcare, in conflict, in creating healthy environments and more – and the transformative approach societies deserve.

To refocus on what is most important to us.

To protect and expand human rights and civic space.

To show that human instinct leans towards kindness and caring, not hatred and violence.

To support people and the planet over money and markets.

To recognise our critical workers - those in healthcare, teaching, cleaning, food production and more - with better wages and conditions.

To build our collective infrastructures for peace and resilience to this and future challenges.

To be able to look back one day and say: 2020 was the year we chose to change the whole world for the good.

[서한] 코로나19에 맞서 싸우는 한국정부의 헌신에 대한 국제시민사회의 요구사항

국제시민사회 연명 공개서한

개발도상국 등지에서 전지구직인 코로나19 전염병에 맞서 싸우는 한국의 헌신에 대한 요구사항

문재인 대통령님께,

코로나19 유행병에 대항 한 전 세계적 투쟁에 대한 대한민국의 약속과 요청사항과 관련하여, 우리는 국제 시민 사회 단체 (CSO) / 비정부기구 (NGO)와 연합, 아시아 태평양, 아프리카, 남미, 북미, 중동 및 유럽 지역의 다른 국가의 개인을 대신하여 이 서한을 쓰고 있습니다.

코로나19 사태에 대한 한국의 신속하고 민주적인 대응에 세계가 깊은 인상을 받았다고 말하는 것은 결코 과언이 아닙니다. 주요 민주주의 가치인 언론의 자유, 정보 접근성, 투명성, 의료 테스트 및 모든 사람에 대한 관리에 우선순위를 뒀던 한국정부의 리더십을 통해 대한민국은 폐쇄조치를 통해 시민의 자유를 억누르지 않고 바이러스를 수용하는 모델이되었습니다. 이번 총선에 있어서도, 코로나 바이러스가 민주주의와 인권을 막을 수 없다는 것을 보여주는 또 다른 긍정적인 신호였습니다.

이 리더십 모델과 민주적 수단을 통해 이해관계를 떠나 시민들의 선호와 우선순위에 관한 결정은 사람들 사이의 연대와 신뢰의 감각을 조성하는 데 핵심적인 역할을 해왔으며 위기의 완화와 협력을 강화했습니다. 코로나19에 대한 한국의 성공적인 관리는 점진적인 정상화에 대한 희망이 있음을 증명했습니다. 국제사회는 한국의 경험을 통해 많은 것을 배울 수 있으며 모범 사례를 교환하는 데 더 많은 협력을 희망하고 있습니다.

또한, 국제 협력의 중요성에 중점을두고 G20 정상회의(2020 년 3 월 26 일)과 ASEAN + 3 정상회의(2020 년 4 월 14 일)에서도 코로나19 전염병에 대한 ODA (공적개발원조)를 통해 인도 주의적 지원을 약속했습니다.

코로나19와의 전쟁에서 전세계 이웃을 지원하고 지원하려는 한국의 노력에 있어서, 우리 시민사회가 필요한 원조와 서비스를 제공하고 대중의 인식과 교육을 증진하며 정부 정책을 모니터링하는 데 중요한 사전 역할을 수행 할 수 있다고 믿습니다. 그리고 코로나19에 대한 대응과 사회에서 취약하고 배제된 사람들의 인권을 옹호합니다.

전 지구적 위기의 시대에, 유엔의 기본 정신인 ‘Leaving No One Behind,’ 지속가능발전목표(SDGs), 핵심 인도주의 표준 (CHS)과 인권에 기반한 인권에 근거한 접근 방식에 따라 국제적인 흐름에 다라 사회경제적 영향에 대처하는 데 시민사회와 정부 간의 공공의 신뢰와 파트너십이 필수적이라 할 것입니다.

이와 관련하여 다음과 같이 한국정부에 촉구합니다.

1. 인권과 민주주의 원칙을 존중하면서도 코로나19 유행병에 효과적으로 대처하는 데 주도적인 역할을 수행한다.

2. ODA를 통해 인도 주의적 지원을 유지하거나 증가시켜, 특히 전 세계의 어려운 문제를 극복하는 데 가장 취약한 최빈국과 취약한 국가에서 도움을 요청한다.

3. 시민 공간을 보호하고 코로나19 유행병의 악영향을 해결하는 시민 사회의 역할을 강화하기 위해 도덕적, 정치적, 재정적 지원을 제공한다.

4. 취약한 국가에서 인간의 고통을 예방하고 줄이기 위해 시민사회단체가 지상에서 작동 할 수 있도록 구체적인 조치를 즉시 취한다.

5. 코로나19 전염병에 대항하여 전 세계에서 낙인, 이주민, 노인, 이재민, 난민 및 토착민과 같은 소수 민족 및 소수 민족 등 인종 차별주의에 대항한 범 세계적 행동을 주도한다.

우리는 정부가 코로나19의 사회적, 경제적 영향을 해결하는 데 여전히 어려움을 겪고 있음을 잘 알고 있습니다. 그러나 국제사회가 연대를 이루고, 취약한 이웃을 돕는 동시에 이 전투를 벌이는 것이 중요합니다.

전세계 시민사회단체 연합은 대한민국의 리더십과 코로나19에 대항하는 전 지구적 싸움에서의 전폭적인 지원 아래 인도적인협력의 기회를 보장하기를 희망합니다.

당신의 배려에 감사드립니다.

Open Letter to President Moon Jae-in of

the Republic of Korea (ROK)

April 17, 2020

H.E. Moon Jae-in
President of the Republic of Korea
Cheongwadae (Blue House)
1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu
Seoul, 03048, Republic of Korea

RE: ROK’s Commitment to the global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in particular, in the developing counties.

Dear President Moon,

We are writing on behalf of the international civil society organizations (CSOs) / Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and coalitions, and individuals from different countries from the Asia-Pacific, Africa, South and North America, Middle East and the Europe region in regards to the Republic of Korea’s commitment to the global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

~~First of all, we would like to congratulate on the successful management of the parliamentary election concluded on 15 April 2020 despite the COVID-19 pandemic.~~

It is not an understatement to say that the world was impressed and encouraged at the ROK’s swift and democratic response to its COVID-19 outbreak. Through your administration’s leadership, prioritizing free press, access to information, transparency, medical testing and care for all, which are key democratic values, ROK has become a model in containing the virus without a lockdown or repressing civil liberties. The parliamentary election was another positive sign to prove that the coronavirus cannot stop democracy and human rights.

This leadership model and the prioritizing of people regardless of their background through democratic means has played a key role in creating a sense of solidarity and trust amongst the people, increasing cooperation in mitigating the crisis. The successful management of COVID-19 by the ROK, has proven that there is hope for a slow recovery. The international community has much to learn from the ROK experience and hopes for more cooperation in exchanging best practices.

We also note that you have put emphasis on the importance of international cooperation and made a commitment to humanitarian assistance through the Official Development Assistance (ODA) at the G20 Virtual Summit (26 March 2020) and ASEAN+3 Virtual Summit (14 April 2020) on the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the ROK’s efforts to support and assist its global neighbors in the fight against COVID-19, we believe that civil society has the ability to play an important proactive role in delivering necessary aid and services, promoting public awareness and education, monitoring the government’s policy and action on the COVID-19, and advocating human rights of the vulnerable and excluded people in society.

In a time of global crisis, public trust and partnership between civil society and government are essential in addressing the socio-economic impact of the pandemic both nationally and internationally in accordance with Core Humanitarian Standards (CHS) and human rights-based approach with the spirit of ‘leaving no one behind’ for the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In this regard, we would like to urge your government to:

1. Continue to play a proactive leadership role in tackling COVID-19 pandemic effectively while respecting human rights and democratic principles.

2. Maintain or increase humanitarian assistance through the ODA to help countries in need, especially in the least developed countries and fragile states that are the most vulnerable in overcoming unprecedented global challenges.

3. Provide support – moral, political and financial – to protect civic space and to strengthen the role of civil society in tackling adverse consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

4. Take concrete actions immediately to enable CSOs to operate on the ground to prevent and reduce human suffering in vulnerable countries.

5. Lead a global action on stigmatization, xenophobia, racism against minorities and vulnerable populations like older persons, migrants, internally displaced persons, refugees, and indigenous peoples in the global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are aware that your government is still facing challenges in addressing the social and economic impact of the COVID-19. However, it is vital that the international community comes in solidarity and fight the battle simultaneously together in the meanwhile assisting our vulnerable neighbors.

The undersigned, a coalition of civil society organizations across the globe, would like to take this opportunity to assure you of our full support and cooperation in the global fight against the COVID-19 with the Republic of Korea’s leadership.

Thank you for your consideration.
