当地时间7月15日，乌克兰最高拉达(议会)通过一项法案，决定暂时中止履行《关于禁止使用、储存、 生产和转让杀伤人员地雷及销毁此种地雷的公约》，即《渥太华禁雷公约》的相关义务。该法律草案在 议会投票中获得了299名议员的支持。根据解释性文件，乌克兰在行使《联合国宪章》第51条所赋予的 自卫权时，为维护国家领土完整和主权独立，不得不重新评估其国际法律义务。乌方称，乌克兰做出这 一决定的原因之一，是俄乌双方在公约履行方面的不对称性。俄罗斯联邦并非1997年《渥太华禁雷公 约》的缔约国，这使得俄罗斯在军事行动中不受该公约限制，而乌克兰的工程防御等有效防御手段则受 到了限制。根据新通过的法律，《渥太华禁雷公约》对乌克兰的效力将暂停。法律生效后，乌克兰将按 照规定，正式向《渥太华禁雷公约》的其他缔约国、条约保存方以及联合国安理会通报其暂停履行公约 的决定。此外，这一举措还将为乌克兰带来一些实际利益，例如从非公约缔约国获得额外的军事技术援 助，进一步扩充抵御敌人所需的防御武器库，以增强其在俄乌冲突中的防御能力。(央视新闻) ...
