The United Nations General Assembly has passed a non-binding resolution affirming the legal responsibilities of member states to mitigate climate change, following an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice.

聯合國大會在國際法院發出諮詢意見後，通過了一項不具約束力的決議，肯定成員國在減緩氣候變遷方面的法律責任。

The resolution originated from a proposal by Vanuatu, which sought to operationalize a July advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The ICJ had previously determined that the failure of states to uphold climate commitments constitutes a violation of international law, thereby establishing a legal basis for potential reparations to affected nations. This judicial framework is particularly salient for Pacific island states, such as Tuvalu and Nauru, which face existential threats from rising sea levels and are currently implementing migration and revenue-generation strategies to manage potential displacement.

該決議源於萬那杜的提案，旨在將國際法院（ICJ）七月的諮詢意見付諸實行。國際法院先前已判定，各國未能履行氣候承諾即構成對國際法的違反，從而為受影響國家獲取潛在賠償建立了法律基礎。此司法框架對太平洋島國（如吐瓦魯和諾魯）尤為重要，因為這些國家面臨海平面上升的生存威脅，目前正實施遷徙與增加收入的策略，以管理潛在的流離失所問題。

Stakeholder positioning revealed a significant divergence between small island nations and major hydrocarbon producers. The resolution was adopted with a vote of 141 in favor, 8 against, and 28 abstentions. Opposition was concentrated among high-emission, oil-exporting states, including the United States, Russia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. The U.S. State Department had previously characterized the proposal as a threat to domestic industry, and Deputy Ambassador Tammy Bruce described the final text as containing inappropriate political demands. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait further attempted to utilize procedural delays and amendments to attenuate the influence of the ICJ's framework.

利益相關者的立場顯示，小島國與主要碳氫化合物生產國之間存在顯著分歧。該決議以 141 票贊成、8 票反對、28 票棄權通過。反對票集中在高排放的石油出口國，包括美國、俄羅斯、伊朗和沙烏地阿拉伯。美國國務院先前將該提案定性為對國內工業的威脅，副大使 Tammy Bruce 則形容最終文本包含不恰當的政治要求。沙烏地阿拉伯和科威特進一步嘗試利用程序延期和修正案，以削弱國際法院框架的影響力。

Consequently, the final text underwent substantial modification to secure a majority. While the resolution maintains the objective of limiting global temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius and advocates for the cessation of fossil fuel subsidies, a critical provision for the establishment of an 'International Register of Damage' was excised. This omission reflects the resistance of major emitters to the implementation of formal mechanisms for the quantification and payment of reparations, although the text still acknowledges the ICJ's position that violating states may be required to provide full reparation to injured parties.

因此，最終文本經過大幅修改以獲得多數支持。雖然決議維持將全球升溫限制在 1.5 攝氏度的目標，並主張停止化石燃料補貼，但關於建立「國際損害登記冊」的關鍵條款被刪除。這一遺漏反映了主要排放國反對實施量化與支付賠償的正式機制，儘管文本仍承認國際法院的立場，即違約國家可能被要求向受損方提供全額賠償。

The General Assembly has formally endorsed the ICJ's legal interpretations on climate responsibility, although the exclusion of a damage registry indicates continued diplomatic friction regarding financial accountability.

聯合國大會正式支持國際法院對氣候責任的法律解釋，儘管刪除損害登記冊顯示，關於財務問責的外交摩擦依然存在。
