(自由亚洲电台,2022-03-11)
近日,194位诺贝尔奖得主联名发表声援乌克兰的公开信,公开信谴责俄罗斯的行径就类似当年纳粹德国军事侵略波兰和苏联,并呼吁俄罗斯政府停止对乌克兰的入侵,撤回在乌克兰的军队。这封公开信的联署者包括了台湾的李远哲、美籍华人朱棣文和崔琦,以及西藏精神领袖达赖喇嘛等,但中国方面没有获奖者签名。
针对俄罗斯入侵乌克兰,194位诺贝尔奖得奖主表达了他们对乌克兰人民的自由和乌克兰国家独立的支持。
诺贝尔奖网站公布的这封公开信指出,俄罗斯此举让人想起臭名昭彰的德国纳粹在1939
年使用类似的伎俩,假装挑衅对波兰的袭击,以及1941年进攻苏联。在普京总统领导下的俄罗斯联邦政府,发动了无端的军事战争。诺贝尔奖主们谨慎地强调,这是俄罗斯政府,而不是俄罗斯人民在这场侵略中扮演了重要角色。
诺贝尔奖获奖者们还共同谴责俄罗斯的军事行动,以及普京总统根本否认乌克兰存在的合法性。公开信并强调,要通过和平的方式来解决争端,而俄罗斯的入侵公然违反《联合国宪章》规定,也无视于
1994 年要求俄罗斯和其他国家有义务尊重乌克兰主权、独立和现有边界的《布达佩斯备忘录》。
公开信认为,俄罗斯的安全问题可以在联合国宪章、1975
年《赫尔辛基法案》和
1990 年《巴黎宪章》的框架下解决,俄罗斯的入侵将玷污其几十年来的国际声誉,并将对其经济构成影响,国际制裁还会使俄罗斯人民陷入困境。
信中对数百名乌克兰和俄罗斯士兵的无谓牺牲,以及包括儿童在内的乌克兰平民的伤亡表示难过。因此,获奖者们在强调与乌克兰同在的立场同时,也呼吁俄罗斯政府停止对乌克兰的入侵,并撤回在乌克兰的军队。
联署这封公开信的包括了台湾的李远哲、美籍华人朱棣文和崔琦,以及西藏精神领袖达赖喇嘛。社交媒体上,舆论质疑为什么没有中国的诺贝尔奖得主签名。从归化中国国籍的物理奖得主杨振宁到文学奖得主莫言,以及医学奖得主屠呦呦等人都被点名。
与已故诺贝尔和平奖得主刘晓波交好的台湾驻德国代表谢志伟表示,“我必须很伤痛地说, 今天如果刘晓波还在的话,他绝对是第一批签名人里的其中一位。”
谢志伟认为,“我们看到,100多个诺贝尔奖的得主基本上不是因为你是俄国,而是因为俄国做的事情,基本上不是因为看不下去,而是觉得再不这么做的话,再不发声、再不表态的话,他们不只是袖手旁观,他们会变成帮手。当你可以讲话的时候,当你可以发挥一点影响力的时候,你没有做,这除了是人命关天铸成大错以外,而且后面那种骨牌效应会一再出来。在我们这个世纪里,诺贝尔奖得主不是只有在专业上的奖项得主,某种程度是一个知识分子的原型,即便不是人文的,即便是科学的、是理工的,作为学术来讲的话,这里面的人文的关怀还是第一位的。”
针对诺贝尔奖中国得主缺席公开信联署,有网友在推特上表示,“台湾出来的华人比较正常”;也有人表示,“也许有家人朋友在国内,所以要有所顾忌”,“莫言一签就真的莫言了,不仅莫言,而且莫看、莫闻、莫动、莫喘气”。
谢志伟则指出,“俄国还有很多人上街头,敢表态,要做到这种义气相挺两肋插刀,这个是要超越民族血缘、血统的那种界线。就这点来讲,我觉得中国整体来讲,遗憾我要这么讲,还是比较落伍的。当然我可以想象,这里面有19世纪的包袱,或者是19世纪的冤仇未报。但是整体来想,我觉得很遗憾。”
他表示,这对他而言,是一个跨国界的事情,或是一个世界公民的事情。
公开信原文 An open letter from Nobel laureates
The
undersigned Nobel laureates voice our support for the Ukrainian people and the
free and independent state of Ukraine as it faces Russian aggression.
In a move that
recalls the infamous attack of Nazi Germany on Poland in 1939 (using similar
tricks of feigned provocation) and on the Soviet Union in 1941, the government of
the Russian Federation, led by President Putin, has launched an unprovoked
military aggression — nothing else but a war — against its neighbor, Ukraine.
We choose our words carefully here, for we do not believe the Russian people
have a role in this aggression.
We join in
condemning these military actions and President Putin’s essential denial of the
legitimacy of Ukraine’s existence.
There is
always a peaceful way to resolve disputes. The Russian invasion blatantly violates
the United Nations Charter, which says “All members shall refrain in their international
relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political
independence of any state.” It ignores the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, which
obligated Russia and others to respect the sovereignty, independence, and
existing borders of Ukraine.
Russia’s
security concerns can be addressed within the framework of the UN Charter, the 1975
Helsinki Final Act, and the 1990 Paris Charter. To make war, as President Putin
and his collaborators have done, is an unwarranted, bloody, and unproductive
way to a future.
The Russian
invasion will stain the international reputation of the Russian state for decades
to come. It will pose barriers to its economy and inflict hardships on its population.
The sanctions imposed will restrict the ease of movement of its talented and hardworking
people in the world. Why raise this fence between Russia and the world now?
Hundreds of
Ukrainian soldiers, Russian soldiers, and Ukrainian civilians, including children,
have died already. It’s so sad, so unnecessary. We gather in this appeal to
call upon the Russian government to stop its invasion of Ukraine and withdraw
its military forces from Ukraine.
We respect the calm and the strength of the Ukrainian people. We are with you. Our hearts go out to the families and friends of all, Ukrainians and Russians, who have died and been injured already. May peace come to this piece of our beautiful world.
