The head of the world's largest police organization, Interpol, says he is satisfied with China's security preparations for the Beijing Olympics. He was speaking at Interpol's Asian Regional Conference in Hong Kong, where senior law enforcement officials from across Asia discuss ways to strengthen cooperation in combating crime - ranging from sex attacks on children to cyber crime.
国际刑警组织负责人说，他对北京奥运会的安全准备工作感到满意。他在香港出席国际刑警组织亚洲地区会议时说了这番话。亚洲各国高级执法官员在会议上讨论加强合作，打击儿童性侵犯和电脑网络犯罪等罪行。
Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble praised China's security preparations for the Olympics, when he opened the police organization's Asian meeting in Hong Kong, Monday.
国际刑警组织秘书长诺布尔星期一在香港亚洲地区会议上致开幕词时，称赞中国对奥运会进行的安全准备工作。
"We have been working very closely with China, in this regard, for years now and especially this year," he said. "I have made one personal trip to China for the purpose of seeing the progress being made and, as I said, the progress is significant and the preparations are of the highest possible standard."
诺布尔说：“我们近年来在这方面一直同中国密切合作，特别是今年。我对中国进行了一次访问，视察正在取得的进展。正如我说的，进展非常显著，准备工作达到最高标准。”
But he urged China to remain prudent, saying any international event can be a potential terrorist target.
不过，他敦促中国继续保持谨慎，因为任何国际大事都会成为恐怖分子的潜在攻击目标。
One of the main themes of this year's Interpol Asia conference is the tracing and apprehending of child-sex offenders in the region. He says many perpetrators are from outside Asia and often travel from one country to another, making their identification and arrest difficult.
今年国际刑警组织亚洲地区会议的主题之一是搜寻并逮捕亚洲地区的儿童性犯罪分子。诺布尔说，很多罪犯都来自亚洲以外地区，而且经常在亚洲国家之间旅行，给识别和逮捕他们的行动增加了难度。
"What do we do as an international police organization if we know someone is engaged in this kind of sexual activity against the child victims and we know he is moving from one country to another country, because we don't have an arrest warrant? How can we stop his travel? Is there a way for the country of his nationality to suspend his passport and only allow him to return home? It is very complicated. These are the kind of issues we want to discuss during the conference," said Noble.
诺布尔说：“如果我们知道某人从事此类儿童性侵害活动，而且我们知道他在国家之间来回旅行，而且我们没有逮捕令，那我们最为一个国际警察组织能做什么呢？我们怎样才能阻止他旅行？他国籍所在国家有没有办法来暂时吊销他的护照，只允许他回国呢？这个问题很复杂。这也是我们希望在会上讨论的议题。”
Other topics of the meeting include combating transnational intellectual property crime as well as so-called cyber crime. This includes international Internet fraud schemes as well as what Noble calls "cyber-terrorism" - sabotaging computer systems of governments or businesses.
会议的其它议题包括打击跨国知识产权犯罪以及电脑网络犯罪，这包括国际网络欺诈，以及被诺布尔称为网络恐怖主义的破坏政府或者商业电脑系统的犯罪。
Noble says there are many examples of the successful cooperation between Interpol and police in Asia. Last year, for example, "Operation Soga" against illegal soccer betting, led to the arrest of more than 400 people in countries such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.
诺布尔说，国际刑警组织和亚洲警察之间有很多成功合作的范例。比如说，去年发起的打击足球赌博的索加(Soga)行动就在香港、马来西亚、新加坡和越南等地逮捕了400多人。 |
