　　A certain historical distance has alwa

免费题库2022-08-02 27

问题　　A certain historical distance has always existed between the Asian region and the international organization. Most of New York’s energy is consumed by the Middle East and Africa, not Asia. The UN is Atlanticist in structure and sometimes in orientation.　　There have been several signs in recent years, however, of a quickening of interactions between the UN and Asia. First, the end of the cold war broke the superpower deadlock in the Security Council, conjured up new confidence about the organization’s place in international relations and was followed by the establishment of two of the UN’s largest and most complex peace operations, in Cambodia and East Timor.　　Second, the emergence of new and interconnected5?security threats in the region, including infectious diseases, resource scarcity, environmental catastrophes such as the 2004 tsunami, trafficking in drugs and people, and state failure, has demonstrated the advantages of international cooperation. As these threats escalate, so will the work of the UN and its agencies.　　Third, as the focus of international power moves towards them6, Asian states are stepping up their engagement with the world body. The top five contributors of peacekeeping personnel are all from the UN’s Asian regional group. Both Japan and India remain intent on permanent membership of the Security Council. Most striking of all is China’s increasingly practical behavior in New York. China was once poorly represented, defensive in the Council and uninterested in peacekeeping: now it is ably represented, confident and skillful in the chamber8?and before the media, and deploys more peacekeeping personnel than any other permanent member.

选项

答案

解析亚洲地区和联合国（这个国际组织）之间总是存在某种历史距离。（位于纽约的）联合国的大部分精力都放在中东和非洲，而不是亚洲。联合国在结构上，有时甚至在取向上，是大西洋主义的。
　　然而，近几年来有些迹象表明，联合国与亚洲的联系在加速。第一个迹象是，冷战的结束打破了安理会内部超级大国间的僵局，人们对联合国在国际关系中的地位重拾信心，随后联合国在柬埔寨和东帝汶实施了两次规模最大和最复杂的维和行动。
　　第二个迹象是，亚洲地区出现的各种新的安全威胁（包括传染性疾病、资源匮乏、环境灾难，如2004年的海啸、贩卖毒品、非法移民以及国家崩溃）不是孤立的，这已经显示出国际合作的好处。随着这些威胁的不断升级，联合国及其机构的工作也将不断升级。
　　第三个迹象是，随着国际力量的重心向联合国机构转移，亚洲国家正在积极参与联合国的行动。提供维和人员最多的五个国家都来自联合国亚洲成员国。日本和印度都一直想成为安理会常任理事国。给人印象最深的是中国在联合国纽约总部的做法越来越讲究实际。中国过去对很多活动参与不多，在安理会采取防御姿态，对维和行动不感兴趣。现在中国积极参与各项活动，在安理会上、在媒体面前充满自信、应对自如，派遣的维和人员超过其他任何一个常任理事国。
