去年，秘书长提出了新的《裁军议程》，其范围之广将有利于我们加倍努力实施更有效的控制，以防止常规武器，包括小武器和轻武器的流动。我们从自身经历得知，容易获得大量小武器和轻武器，会增强恐怖分子、暴力极端分子和有组织犯罪团体的能力。在过去一年里，阿富汗人民以及我们的国家安全部队和来自国际伙伴国家的军事和文职人员在我国各地又遭到了恐怖主义和极端主义团体的严重袭击。这些袭击中小武器和轻武器的使用突出表明，缺乏有效的军备控制是本地区暴力循环中的一个破坏性因素，提高这种控制的效力是我们促进所有冲突地区稳定的整体努力中的一个重要因素。这个问题是阿富汗的重中之重，我们呼吁有关各方承担起防止恐怖组织获得武器及其前体的全部责任，并加强努力，通过执行《从各个方面防止、打击和消除小武器和轻武器非法贸易的行动纲领》帮助我国建设国家能力。在阿富汗等地的冲突中，我们必须在处理非法武器贸易、贩毒和洗钱等有组织犯罪活动之间的危险联系方面取得更大、更稳定的进展。
Last year the Secretary-General presented his new Agenda for Disarmament, whose scope will be beneficial as we redouble our efforts to implement more effective controls to prevent the flow of conventional arms, including small arms and light weapons. We know from our own experience that easy access to an abundance of small arms and light weapons empowers terrorists, violent extremists and organized criminal groups. Over the past year, the people of Afghanistan, along with our national security forces and military and civilian personnel from international partner countries, have been subjected to new, high-profile attacks by terrorist and extremist groups in various parts of the country. The use of small arms and light weapons in those attacks highlights the fact that a lack of effective arms control is a destructive element in the cycle of violence in our region, and that increasing the effectiveness of that control is an important element in our broader efforts to promote stability in all conflict zones. This issue is a high priority for Afghanistan, and we call on all the relevant parties to take full responsibility for preventing terrorist organizations’ access to weapons and their precursors, and to enhance their efforts to help build our national capacity through the implementation of the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons. In the context of the conflicts in Afghanistan and elsewhere, we need to make greater, steadier progress in addressing the dangerous nexus of organized criminal activities, including the illicit arms trade, drug trafficking and money-laundering.
