尊重素食者連署

張貼者: hoo 9/25/2013
這份連署的訴求是提倡素食者應有: 

1.在任何公家或私人機構用餐時,能獲得均衡飲食的權益 
2.能得到公正且適當醫學資訊之權益 
3.能取得依其信念扶養後代,所需的各種必要資源之權益 
4.可拒絕任何和其道德認定標準衝突的工作之權益 

實在是太酷了><~
就是因為素食者在目前來講仍是相對少數,許多事情都要"自己想辦法",遇到沒東西吃,資訊不足,也只能自己摸摸鼻子...

雖然不知道這個連署後來命運如何,但這個提案,已成為一個象徵相對弱勢的素食者起身爭取自我權益的里程碑!


Respect of the rights of vegans and vegetarians

and promote the adoption of measures at the national, regional and international levels to ensure the promotion and protection of the following rights of vegans and vegetarians:

基於尊重道德良心和思想的自由,以及由於因維護信念而引發的歧視,已被認定為非法行為,本連署人在此要求聯合國宗教和信仰自由問題特派專員,提出有關拒絕食用或使用動物相關產品者權益之建言,並促進通過於國內,地區乃至國際層級的議案,以保障與增進以下攸關純素與素食者之權益:

在任何公家或私人機構用餐時,能獲得均衡飲食的權益,

Why this is important 

為什麼這件事很重要?


A lot of people in the world think that animals are sentient beings who shouldn't be killed unnecessarily and since it is not necessary to eat animal products many refuse to eat animals or animal products. But their belief is rarely respected.

世界上很多人都認為動物是有意識的生物,不想在非必要下被殺害,況且既然食用動物是非必要的,很多人因而拒絕食用動物或使用動物產製品。但他們的信念卻極少受到尊重。
This is particularly visible in the almost systematic refusal to offer balanced vegan meals in public or private institutions, which may lead some to renounce to their beliefs or else be content with a nutritionally deficient diet. In France there is even a new law that forbids vegetarian meals:

這點在公共或私人機構,幾乎經常性的未能提供含均衡營養的純素飲食,這樣的事件來看,尤其顯著。可能導致一些人只能選擇放棄其信念,或滿足於缺乏營養的飲食。在法國,甚至有禁止素食餐的新法出現:
http://www.icdv.info/index.php?category/English 

Many doctors learn almost nothing about nutrition and are unable to provide vegans and vegetarians accurate information. The majority of the media have a mocking or critical attitude against “extremist" vegetarians, when mentioning any topic related to vegetarianism, instead of allowing any real debate of ideas. When someone says that s/he is a vegan or vegetarian for the sake of animal interests, this sometimes provokes unpleasant reactions, contempt and even aggressiveness.

很多醫生幾乎不懂營養,也無法提供正確的純素或素食資訊。當提到任何有關素食主義的相關話題,大部分媒體對於所謂 "極端份子" 的素食者,均抱以嘲弄或批評的態度,而非提供任何實際的辯論或想法。當有人表示他/她基於維護動物權益而成為一名純素或素食者,有時卻會激起不友善的回應,輕視或甚至攻擊。

According to Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, everyone has the right to freedom of thought and conscience. This includes the right to belief and the right to manifest one’s belief. Article 26 of the same Covenant states that discrimination based on opinion is prohibited. These two articles combined mean that vegans and vegetarians who refuse to consume animals or animal products for ethical reasons should not suffer discrimination because of their beliefs.

根據公民與政治權利國際公約第18條,每個人都有道德和思想的自由。這包含了信仰的權利,和表明個人信仰的權利。同公約中第26條,聲明禁止因個人意見引起的歧視行為。這兩個法條的結合意謂著,基於道德而拒絕消耗動物或動物產製品的純素和素食者,不該因其信仰而遭受歧視。
This petition will be given to the UN on May 2013 during the Veggie Pride in Geneva: www.veggiepride.org

這份連署,將於2013年五月於日內瓦舉行之素食遊行,提交至聯合國。
