＜日本語仮抄訳＞

ジョセップ・ボレル欧州連合（EU）外務・安全保障政策上級代表兼欧州委員会副委員長は、EUを代表して以下の声明を発表した。

「EUは、スーダン共和国における軍事クーデターと、同国の首相、複数の閣僚、『自由と変化の勢力』の指導者たちおよび他の市民社会代表者たちの不法な拘束を強く非難する。彼らの即時解放を求める。

EUはまた、統治評議会のトップを務めてきた（アブデル・ファタ・）ブルハン将軍が全土に対し非常事態を宣言し、『憲法宣言』の主要条項の停止および統治機関の解散を発表した声明を強く非難する。スーダンの民政への移行を弱体化させようとするこの試みは容認できない。状況が直ちに打開されない限り、経済支援を含むEUの同国への関与は深刻な影響を受けるであろう。

何十年にもわたる権威主義的支配と抑圧的独裁体制の後、法の支配、人権および選挙による文民政府の確立を含む民主主義を尊重する、より良い未来を得るというスーダン国民の正当な権利は尊重されなければならない」

Declaration by the High Representative on behalf of the EU on Sudan

The EU strongly condemns the military coup in the Republic of the Sudan and the unlawful detention of the Prime Minister, several Ministers, leaders of the Forces of the Freedom and Change and other civil society representatives; they must be released immediately.

The EU also strongly condemns the statement of General Burhan declaring nationwide state of emergency, the suspension of key articles of the Constitutional Document and the dissolution of governing bodies. This attempt to undermine Sudan’s transition towards democracy is unacceptable. If the situation is not reversed immediately, there will be serious consequences for EU’s engagement, including its financial support.

Following decades of authoritarian rule and repressive dictatorship, the legitimate right of the people of Sudan to a better future respecting rule of law, human rights, and democracy, including electing a civilian government, must be respected.

The EU recalls the right of and respect for peaceful protests and urges security forces to show restraint; further violence and bloodshed must be avoided at all costs and perpetrators of human rights violation shall be held accountable.

Access to communication networks must be restored without delay.

The EU reiterates its strong commitment to Sudan’s transition, calling on all stakeholders and regional partners to support the country’s immediate return to the democratic path.
