139. The international community, through the United Nations, also has the responsibility to use appropriate diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means, in accordance with Chapters VI and VIII of the Charter, to help to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. In this context, we are prepared to take collective action, in a timely and decisive manner, through the Security Council, in accordance with the Charter, including Chapter VII, on a case-by-case basis and in cooperation with relevant regional organizations as appropriate, should peaceful means be inadequate and national authorities are manifestly failing to protect their populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. We stress the need for the General Assembly to continue consideration of the responsibility to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity and its implications, bearing in mind the principles of the Charter and international law. We also intend to commit ourselves, as necessary and appropriate, to helping States build capacity to protect their populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity and to assisting those which are under stress before crises and conflicts break out.
139. 国际社会通过联合国也有责任根据《宪章》第六章和第八章， 使用适当的外交、人道主义和其他和平手段，帮助保护人民免遭种族灭绝、战争罪、族裔清洗和危害人类罪之害。在这方面，如果和平手段不足以解决问题，而且有关国家当局显然无法保护其人民免遭种族灭绝、战争罪、族裔清洗和危害人类罪之害，我们随时准备根据《宪章》，包括第七章，通过安全理事会逐案处理，并酌情与相关区域组织合作，及时、果断地采取集体行动。我们强调，大会需要继续审议保护人民免遭种族灭绝、战争罪、族裔清洗和危害人类罪之害的责任及所涉问题，要考虑到《宪章》和国际法的相关原则。我们还打算视需要酌情作出承诺，帮助各国建设保护人民免遭种族灭绝、战争罪、族裔清洗和危害人类罪之害的能力，并在危机和冲突爆发前协助处于紧张状态的国家。
