中英对照:加国维护司法独立之勇气值得钦佩

Despite growing threats from China, Canada has maintained its judiciary independence
来源: 大中报 南茜(Nancy Jin)



(大中报/096.ca特稿):司法独立在很多中国人看来是一句空话,但在加拿大,司法独立是法制系统的奠基石,是坚不可摧的法律堡垒,是加拿大人深深信奉的准则。但要保护司法独立不受侵犯并非纸上谈兵,它需要坚定的信念和果敢的行动,特别是在那个已向加国发动经济制裁,并无理扣押加国人质的政权扬言要采取进一步报复措施的危机关头。

Judiciary independence may be empty rhetoric to many people in China, but it is an intrinsic legal principle in Canada and a deeply entrenched belief for most Canadians. To maintain the integrity of judiciary independence requires courageous actions and resilient strength, particularly in the face of further lash out from a regime that has punished us with trade sanctions and held our citizens hostage.

上周三,卑诗省最高法院判定华为高管孟晚舟的引渡案件满足双重犯罪标准,该判决为孟晚舟被引渡到美国接受审判扫清了障碍。毋庸置疑,这一判决对孟,华为和中国来说犹如噩梦一场。

Last Wednesday, B.C. Supreme Court ruled that the extradition case of Meng Wanzhou has met a critical test of double criminality, which has cleared the hurdle to extradite the Huawei executive to the U.S.  The ruling is a nightmare for Meng, Huawei, and China.

但这并不意味着对加国、特鲁多和两名被中国扣押的人质来说就是什么好事。这一判决公布之时,正值习近平试图稳固其政权统治,且中国通过贸易制裁向不肯向其服软之国施加压力之际。北京政府的威胁给加拿大与中国的贸易往来带来危机,也让两名在中国狱中饱受磨难的加国人质处于更危险的境地。

However, it is no good news for Trudeau, Canada, and two Canadians detained as hostages in China. The ruling comes out at a time when Xi tries to strengthen his weakened leadership and when China escalates its aggressive trade tactics on countries refusing to bend to its pressure. Beijing's threat has left Canada's trade deal in jeopardy and the fate of two Canadians locked in a Chinese prison in further peril.



加拿大已经在向中国的大豆,牛肉,豌豆和菜油籽出口等领域遭受数十亿加元的损失。来自中国更严厉的制裁会让两国间高达数千亿加元的贸易协定收到威胁。中国的报复还会导致加国旅游业蒙受更严重的打击,并让那些依赖于数千名来自于中国的留学生所支付的高学费的加国高校断了财路。

Canada has already endured billions of dollars lost in exporting soybean, beef, peas, and canola to China. More sanctions from China could result in the sabotage expanding to $100 billion of annual trade with China. China's retaliation may also see Canada's tourism industry suffering a more substantial blow and Canadian universities that relied on thousands of high-fee-paying Chinese students bleeding in the budget.

对付最讲人道的加拿大的更为狠毒的一招就是进一步虐待两名加国人质,既加拿大前外交官康明凯(Michael Kovrig)和商人斯帕弗(Michael Spavor)。两名人质双双遭到损害中国国家安全利益之指控,且在中国狱中饱受虐待折磨长达500 天之久。但对孟晚舟引渡裁决的不满的中国政府很可能把气撒在两名人质身上,甚至有可能判他俩死缓。更有甚者,中国秘密警察还可能会捉拿其他加国人质并将其投入狱中,以向加拿大进一步采取报复行动。

The bullying regime could inflict more pain on the most humanity country Canada by escalating its abuse and mistreatment on two innocent Canadians, former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor. Facing accusations of violating China's national security interest, they have languished in rotten conditions in a Chinese prison for over 500 days. However, they will bear more brunt of anger – including facing suspended death sentence as China finds the recent ruling unfavorable. Moreover, the secret police of China may abduct and imprison more Canadians as part of the regime's further reprisals on Canada.



厉害中国的报复行动的确给中等国度的加拿大带来很大威胁。但为了保护法庭决定免遭外来威胁,加拿大表现出非凡的毅力。在Holmes法官断案过程中,她在遵守法律原则的同时摈弃政治困扰,把其主要精力放在寻找判决的法律依据,以及考虑其判决结果对日后加国引渡案的影响上。

Beijing's threat has exerted mounting pressure on our middle- powered country, but Canada has shown remarkable resilience in shielding the intimidation from affecting its court decisions. In her decision-making process, Justice Holmes followed the guidelines of legal principals while holding the political considerations at bay, with her concerns focused on the legal justification of the ruling and its implications on future extradition cases.

加国的高层领导也竭力保证加国的司法独立并不受外来政治势力的影响。尽管要求司法部长干涉引渡案呼声高涨,加国司法部在卑诗省法院判决公布后明确表态,司法部不会对此做出任何干预决定。 加国总理特鲁多也再次强调加国司法系统的独立性,其立场获得加国公众一致称赞。所有这一切都显示,加国从上到下,从人质以及加国政治,司法机构和加国老百姓为了维护司法完整而表现出了极大的坚韧和勇气。

The country's top leaders have made it rest assured that Canada's judiciary process remains independent and detached from political interference. Despite calls for the Minister of Justice to intervene, the Justice Ministry made it clear in the wake of B.C. court ruling that it will not make any decisions to intervene. Trudeau also stressed Canada's independent judiciary system, which gained widespread support in Canada. Maintaining the integrity of Canada's judiciary independence is nothing short of heroic actions – from out hostages in China to the political and legal institutions in Canada to Canadians from all walks of life.
