中英版文章解读国际社会商讨利比亚未来
Leaders of Libya's uprising were in Paris Thursday with delegates from 60 countries and world bodies to discuss a roadmap for Libya's humanitarian, political and economic future, even as ex-leader Moammar Gadhafi, in hiding, vowed to fight on.
Thursday marked 42 years since Moammar Gadhafi took power in Libya. But with the longtime ruler now on the run - in an audio message aired Thursday he promised no surrender - world backers of the uprising against him met to plan rebuilding the country along new lines.
The meeting on Libya is hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy. They were joined by dignitaries from around the world, including U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Speaking in Paris before the conference, Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague said it shows that the world is coming together to support Libya's future.
"The other thing of course that it provides today - that the conference provides - is an opportunity for the National Transitional Council to set out their plans for the stabilization of Libya and then what they do politically to create a democratic and inclusive Libya," noted Hague.
The "Friends of Libya" conference gives the National Transitional Council (NTC) an international platform.
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe told reporters that it is important to have confidence in the NTC leadership.
Juppe said that the international community didn't intervene in Libya for it to fall into another regime that wouldn't respect the fundamental rights of the Libyan people.
The NTC is set to push for access to billions of dollars in foreign-held Libyan assets, which were frozen while Gadhafi held power. The United States, Britain, and France have already been granted permission by the U.N. sanctions committee to unfreeze billions of dollars.
The NTC was also set to lay out plans for a new constitution and elections.
Nicola Pratt, an expert on the international politics of the Middle East at Warwick University in Britain, says the platform that Thursday's conference provides for the NTC is important.
"The council needs financial support desperately in order to start providing basic services, to pay civil servants, to start generally rebuilding the economy," noted Pratt. "So this is a crucial period. If the NTC doesn't manage to do these things quickly then it definitely will suffer from a lack of legitimacy."
But she says the importance of the conference is largely symbolic.
She says much of the wrangling will take place in the corridors as countries jostle for post-war contracts over infrastructure, utilities, and oil.
"There is going to be some competition between those countries that have played a role in helping to get rid of Gadhafi feeling some sort of entitlement now that Gadhafi is gone and this reconstruction process is going to begin," added Pratt.
On Thursday, just ahead of the conference, Russia recognized the National Transitional Council as Libya's acting leadership. But a number of countries around the world, including some in the African Union, have not recognized the NTC as Libya's legitimate government.

周四标志着利比亚领袖卡扎菲上校夺取政权42周年。但是这位长期的统治者现在正在逃亡——尽管他在周四的广播信息中发誓不会投降——利比亚起义的国际支持者召开会议，商讨按照新的方针重建利比亚的计划。
The meeting on Libya is hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy. They were joined by dignitaries from around the world, including U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
关于利比亚的会议由英国首相卡梅伦和法国总统萨科齐主持。此外还有来自世界各地的代表参加，包括美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿和联合国秘书长潘基文。
Speaking in Paris before the conference, Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague said it shows that the world is coming together to support Libya's future.
会议开始之前，英国外交大臣威廉·黑格在巴黎发表讲话。他表示，这表明全世界民众团结起来支持利比亚的未来。
"The other thing of course that it provides today - that the conference provides - is an opportunity for the National Transitional Council to set out their plans for the stabilization of Libya and then what they do politically to create a democratic and inclusive Libya," noted Hague.
“今天的会议的另外一个作用是，为过渡国民委员会提供一个机会，让他们制定出稳定利比亚的计划，制定出怎样创建一个民主包容的利比亚的计划。”
The "Friends of Libya" conference gives the National Transitional Council (NTC) an international platform.
“利比亚之友”会议为过渡国民委员会提供了一个国际化平台。
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe told reporters that it is important to have confidence in the NTC leadership.
法国外交部长阿兰·朱佩(Alain Juppe)表示，大家必须对过渡国民委员会的领导有信心，这是非常重要的。
Juppe said that the international community didn't intervene in Libya for it to fall into another regime that wouldn't respect the fundamental rights of the Libyan people.
朱佩表示，国际社会进行干预是不希望利比亚过渡到另一个不尊重民众基本权利的政权。
The NTC is set to push for access to billions of dollars in foreign-held Libyan assets, which were frozen while Gadhafi held power. The United States, Britain, and France have already been granted permission by the U.N. sanctions committee to unfreeze billions of dollars.
过渡国民委员会即将获得卡扎菲执政期间被冻结的存在国外的利比亚资产。美国，英国和法国已经获得联合国制裁委员会解冻数十亿美元资产的许可。
The NTC was also set to lay out plans for a new constitution and elections.
过渡国民委员会还将制定出台新宪法并进行选举的计划。
Nicola Pratt, an expert on the international politics of the Middle East at Warwick University in Britain, says the platform that Thursday's conference provides for the NTC is important.
英国华威大学中东地区国际政治专家Nicola Pratt表示，周四的会议为过渡国民委员会提供的平台是非常重要的。
"The council needs financial support desperately in order to start providing basic services, to pay civil servants, to start generally rebuilding the economy," noted Pratt. "So this is a crucial period. If the NTC doesn't manage to do these things quickly then it definitely will suffer from a lack of legitimacy."
“为了开始提供基本的服务，为公务员支付薪资，开始重建经济，过渡国民委员会亟需经济支持。所以这是非常关键的时期。如果过渡国民委员会不能尽快做到这些，毫无疑问他们将缺乏合法性。”
But she says the importance of the conference is largely symbolic.
但是她说，这次会议的重要性在于是有象征意义的。
She says much of the wrangling will take place in the corridors as countries jostle for post-war contracts over infrastructure, utilities, and oil.
她说，由于各国争夺战后基础设施，公用设施和石油合同，将会出现普遍的'竞争。
"There is going to be some competition between those countries that have played a role in helping to get rid of Gadhafi feeling some sort of entitlement now that Gadhafi is gone and this reconstruction process is going to begin," added Pratt.
“由于现在卡扎菲正在逃亡，重建工程即将开始，曾经在推翻卡扎菲上校的过程中发挥过作用的国家认为自己有权获得这些合同，这些国家之间将会出现激烈的竞争。”
On Thursday, just ahead of the conference, Russia recognized the National Transitional Council as Libya's acting leadership. But a number of countries around the world, including some in the African Union, have not recognized the NTC as Libya's legitimate government.
周四的会议开始之前，俄罗斯认可过渡国民委员会为利比亚代理领导机构。但是全世界仍有几个国家没有承认过渡国民委员会为利比亚合法政府，包括非洲联盟几个国家。
