我國出臺首部反恐怖主義法

China's top legislature has adopted the country's first counter-terrorism law. Lawmakers approved the legislation Sunday afternoon at the end of the 18th meeting of the National People's Congress Standing Committee.

全國人大常委會第十八次會議27日下午閉幕，會議表決通過了我國第一部反恐怖主義法。

"The passage of the specialized counter-terrorism legislation is based on the current provisions of law. It comes both from the need to combat terrorism and from China's responsibility in the international community. It will provide legal support and guarantees for the nation to combat terrorist activities, safeguard national and public security, the security of people's lives and property, and strengthen counter-terrorism cooperation in the international community," said An Weixing, Division Chief of Counter-Terrorism, Public Security Ministry.

中國公安部反恐怖局局長安衛星表示；"在現有法律規定的基礎上，制定一部專門的反恐怖主義法，既是當前打擊恐怖主義的現實需要，也是中國的國際責任。它的出臺必將爲中國依法打擊暴恐活動，維護國家安全、公共安全和人民生命財產的安全，以及加強國際反恐合作提供更加堅實的法律支撐和保證。"

The law establishes basic principles for counter-terrorism work and strengthens measures for prevention, handling, punishment as well as international cooperation. An Weixing said the newly-passed law is in response to the growing terrorism threat in the country and the world at large. It is essential to addressing terrorism at home and helping to maintain global security.

這部法律確立了反恐怖工作基本原則，強化了安全防範、應對處置、國際合作、法律懲治等措施。安衛星還表示，這部新通過的法律將會最大化的對國內及國際上的恐怖威脅作出迴應。同時，這對於解決國內恐怖主義，幫助維護全球安全也是極其重要的。

The new law, which will enter into force in January next year, will provide legal support to the country's counter-terrorism activities as well as collaboration with international anti-terrorism efforts.

法律自2016年1月起施行，將爲國家層面的反恐行動以及與國際社會的合作反恐提供法律依據。
