Explanatory memorandum
序 言
Preamble
1. 序言草案的文字内容尚待工作组审议。
The text of the draft preamble remains to be discussed by the Working Group.
我提出的作为讨论基础的行文的灵感于《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》第一项任择议定书(ICCPR-OP1)和《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》(OP-CEDAW)任择议定书的序言部分，其中所提到的各种文书按时间排列。
As a basis for our discussions, I have proposed wording which draws inspiration from the preambles of the first Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR-OP1) and the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (OP-CEDAW), listing the different instruments referred to in chronological order.
开首的两段提到《联合国宪章》和《世界人权宣言》，内容反映出《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》任择议定书开始几段的内容，但没有具体提及男女平权。
The first two paragraphs refers to the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, reflecting the first paragraphs of OP-CEDAW, leaving out the specific reference to the equal rights of men and women.
第3和第4段强调所有人权的不可分割性、相互依存性和相互关联性，并回顾《经济、社会和文化权利国际公约》和《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》 以及《维也纳宣言和行动纲领》各项文书的序言部分。
The third and fourth paragraphs stress the indivisibility, interdependence and interrelatedness of all human rights, recalling the preambles of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and ICCPRa and the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action.
第5段非常接近《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》第一任择议定书的序言，进一步突出显示出人权两《公约》的互补性。
The fifth paragraph closely reflects the preamble of ICCPR-OP1, thus further underlining the complementarity of the two Covenants.
我以较一般化的措辞来取代“个人的来文”的提法，以此兼顾任择议定书包含集体来文程序的可能性。
I replaced the reference to “communications from individuals” with a more generic formula to take into account the possibility that the optional protocol includes a collective communications procedure.
第 1 条 (接交来文的管辖权)
Article 1 (Competence to receive communications)
2. 草案第1条的行文采用ICCPR-OP1和OP-CEDAW中商定的措辞。
The text of draft article 1 uses agreed language from ICCPR-OP1 and OP-CEDAW.
与ICCPR-OP1和OP-CEDAW中现用文字相比，草案第1条增加了有权“开展调查”的提法，并以“根据本《议定书》的条款规定”来界定委员会的管辖权。
Compared to existing language of ICCPR-OP1 and OP-CEDAW, draft article 1 adds a reference to the competence “to conduct inquiries” and qualifies the Committee's competence by the clause “as provided for by the provisions of the present Protocol”.
第 2 条 (个人来文)
Article 2 (Individual communications)
3. 对于哪些权利应采用来文程序，有各种不同的意见和建议，为了反映这些不同的意见建议，我提出了各种备选案文。
In order to reflect the various views and proposals as to which rights should be subject to a communications procedure, I have proposed alternative texts.
The proposed text represents respectively:
“全面”方式(允许根据《公约》规定的任何权利提出来文)； “有限”方式(这一程序只限于《公约》的第二部分和第三部分)； “保留意见”或“选择不加入的”方式(允许缔约国将第2条第1款和第6条至第15条中所载的一项或几项条款排除在采用来文程序的范围外)。
(a) A “comprehensive” approach (allowing for communications under any of the rights of the Covenant);
4. 第2条第1款力图表达工作组多数代表的立场，这一立场赞成全面方式，与联合国人权条约规定的所有现有来文程序相类似。
(c) A “reservation” or “opt-out” approach (allowing a State party to exclude the application of the communications procedure from one or several provisions contained in articles 2, paragraph 1, and 6 to 15).
