联合国维和部队在塞浦路斯遭袭，安理会发表声明谴责

8月18日，联合国驻塞浦路斯维和部队（联塞部队）遭到塞浦路斯土耳其族人员的袭击，造成3人受伤。联合国秘书长古特雷斯随后发表声明对袭击表示谴责。

此次攻击发生在皮拉村附近的联合国缓冲区——这是一个土耳其族和希腊族的混居区。当时，联合国维和人员根据任务授权正在执行“阻止该地区未经许可的建筑工程”的任务。此前，塞土族宣布计划在皮拉村与另一个土族控制区村庄之间修建一条长11公里的公路。联塞部队在17日发表的声明中警告，不允许在缓冲区内进行任何未经授权的施工。

18日，土族人开着推土机进入缓冲区，试图清除联合国的车辆、栅栏和铁丝网。12名维和人员被“粗暴推离阵地”，3名维和人员受轻伤。

8月21日，安理会召开闭门会议，并在会后发表声明（Communiqué）。根据我目前看到英文文件（中文版似乎尚未印发），安理会成员对该事件表示严重关切，并强调这一行动违反了安理会决议，违反了联合国缓冲区的现状。此外，安理会成员也谴责土族塞人对联合国维和人员的袭击和对联合国车辆的破坏，重申对联塞部队工作的全力支持。

联塞部队最初由安全理事会于1964年设立，目的是防止希族塞人与土族塞人之间再度发生战事。在1974年敌对行动之后，安理会扩大了该部队的职能范围。目前该维和部队编制大概有1000人，人员主要来自英国、阿根廷和斯洛伐克。

安理会声明全文如下：

The members of the Security Council expressed serious concern at the launch of unauthorized construction work by the Turkish Cypriot side inside the UN Buffer Zone near Pyla/Pile. The members of the Security Council stressed that this action runs contrary to Security Council resolutions and constitutes a violation of the status quo in the UN Buffer Zone.

The members of the Security Council condemned the assaults against UN peacekeepers and damage to UN vehicles by Turkish Cypriot personnel, and wished a speedy and full recovery to the peacekeepers who were injured. They underlined that attacks targeting peacekeepers may constitute crimes under international law and reaffirmed their full commitment to the safety and security of all UN personnel.

The members of the Security Council welcomed the halt in unauthorized construction by the Turkish Cypriot side and the removal of equipment and personnel. The members of the Security Council underscored the need to avoid any further unilateral or escalatory actions by either party that could raise tensions on the island and harm prospects for a settlement. The members of the Security Council called on all parties to show flexibility and to support the efforts of the SRSG to negotiate mutually agreed development in the area concerned.

The members of the Security Council reaffirmed their full support for UNFICYP and its mandated authority in and delineation of the Buffer Zone, and called for the removal of all unauthorized constructions and the prevention of unauthorized military or civilian activities within and along the ceasefire lines.

The members of the Security Council reaffirmed their commitment to an enduring, comprehensive and just settlement in accordance with the wishes of the Cypriot people, and based on a bicommunal, bizonal federation with political equality, as set out in relevant Security Council resolutions. They encouraged both sides to take tangible steps in support of the efforts of the SRSG and to fully engage with UNFICYP to promote a conducive climate.

The members of the Security Council also reiterated their call for the sides to reach an agreement regarding the proposal of the Secretary General to appoint a United Nations envoy, who could provide critical support in the search for common ground with the goal of returning to formal negotiations for a lasting settlement in Cyprus.

The members of the Security Council agreed to remain seized of the matter.
