联合国人权高专图尔克10月28日记者会：多数人关切人权、拒绝残酷，促以色列新政府改变战争路线
据联合国新闻10月28日报道，联合国人权事务高级专员 Volker Türk 当天在纽约举行记者会表示，全球绝大多数人关切人权、拒绝残酷；塞尔维亚、孟加拉国、尼泊尔与马达加斯加等地由青年主导、反对腐败与不平等的抗议，反映出世界各地强化人权的诉求。他呼吁各方加强尊重国际法，尤其要保护被困在冲突地区的平民。
谈及加沙，Türk 说，巴勒斯坦人如今被困在加沙约三成的土地上，面临食物与基本服务的严重短缺，并持续在以军行动中丧生。他敦促以色列周二选举之后产生的新政府大幅改变战争路线、遵守国际人道法：「不要延续那种自认为凌驾于国际法之上的战争方式。」
他同时驳斥联合国「只谴责以色列」的指责，强调联合国曾一再谴责10月7日的袭击，并密切监察哈马斯与巴勒斯坦当局的侵害行为；他对有关哈马斯武装人员实施法外处决的报道表示特别关切。
Türk 还表示，联合国在加沙、约旦河西岸、黎巴嫩与叙利亚的监察工作「极其重要」，因为这能让决策建立在事实之上，并确保世界得到准确的信息。他说，许多人权倡导者感到孤立无援，但事实是，绝大多数人与他们站在一起。
UN Rights Chief Türk: Most People Care About Human Rights and Reject Cruelty; Next Israeli Government Must Change Course of Warfare
UN News reported on October 28 that UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk told a press briefing in New York that the vast majority of people around the world care about human rights and reject cruelty. Youth-led protests against corruption and inequality in Serbia, Bangladesh, Nepal and Madagascar reflect a growing demand for reinforcing human rights, he said, calling for greater respect for international law, especially the rights of civilians trapped in conflict zones.
On Gaza, Mr. Türk said Palestinians are now confined to around 30 per cent of the territory, face severe shortages of food and essential services, and continue to be killed by Israeli forces. He urged the next Israeli Government, following Tuesday's election, to change course massively and respect international humanitarian law: "Don't continue the current course of warfare where you think you are above international law."
He also rejected accusations that the UN only condemns Israel, stressing that it has repeatedly denounced the 7 October attacks and closely monitors abuses by Hamas and Palestinian authorities. He expressed particular concern over reports of extrajudicial executions by Hamas militants.
Mr. Türk said UN monitoring in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria was "extremely important," because it keeps decision-making factual and makes sure the world is properly informed. Many advocates feel isolated, he added, but the reality is that most people stand with them.
