23 September 2019
2019年9月23日
Sign languages are crucial means for an individual to express oneself, connect with others and participate in all aspects of economic, social, cultural and political spheres. Their use is also critical to ensuring access to information and services, including during emergencies, and to realizing the human rights of the more than 70 million deaf people around the globe. Early introduction and quality inclusive education in sign language are essential for their full and effective participation, as guided by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
手语是个人表达自我、与他人联系、参与经济、社会、文化、政治领域各个方面的重要手段。使用手语对于确保日常并在紧急情况中获得信息和服务、对于实现全球7000多万聋人的人权，也同样至关重要。以《残疾人权利公约》为遵循，尽早推出手语和高质量的包容性教育，是聋人实现充分、有效参与不可或缺的条件。
This International Day recognizes the importance of sign languages for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and fulfilling its core promise of leaving no one behind. It also offers an opportunity to support and protect the linguistic identity and cultural diversity of all sign language users.
今年的国际日认识到，手语对于实现可持续发展目标、兑现不让任何人掉队的核心承诺十分必要。今年的国际日并为支持和保护所有手语使用者的语言特征和文化多样性提供了机会。
With the adoption of the UN Disability Inclusion Strategy earlier this year, the United Nations has established a foundation for sustainable and transformative change on disability inclusion. We will lead by example.
今年上半年《联合国残疾包容战略》获得通过，联合国借此为残疾包容方面的可持续变革打下了基础。我们将在今后的工作中率先垂范。
On this International Day of Sign Languages, let us reaffirm our commitment to advancing the rights of deaf people everywhere.
值此国际手语日，我们重申将继续致力于促进各地聋人的权利。
