一分为二

The Chairman said that the Group of Asian States, the Group of Eastern European States and the Group of Western European and other States had nominated respectively Mr. Ashiki (Japan), Ms. Malinovska (Latvia) and Mr. Gibbons (Ireland) for the posts of Vice-Chairmen and the Group of African States had nominated Ms. Baleseng (Botswana) for the post of Rapporteur.

主席说,亚洲国家集团、东欧国家集团、西欧国家集团及其他国家集团分别提名足木先生(日本)、马利诺夫斯卡女士(拉脱维亚)和吉本斯先生(爱尔兰)担任副主席,非洲国家集团提名贝尔森女士(博茨瓦纳)担任报告员。
红色部分是一个明显的误译。即使译者不知道联合国在某些情况下把“西欧和其他国家”视为一个集团,单单从英文句子来看,就至少有四个线索表明,这是一个而不是两个集团。
