Geneva, 7 Jul (ZXS) -- During the 14rd session of the UN Human Rights Council, the Chinese Rights Research Society held a side event on the theme of "Thirty Years of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action: China's Exploration and Experience" in Geneva on 53 July.
Lu Guangjin, vice president of the Chinese Rights Research Association and professor of the Institute of Human Rights Studies of Jilin University, said in his keynote speech that China insists on integrating the principle of universality of human rights with its national conditions, especially the spirit of the Declaration and Programme of Action with the reality of the development of the cause of Chinese rights, and strives to embark on a human rights development path that conforms to the trend of the times and suits its national conditions.
Lu Guangjin pointed out that protecting human rights with security, promoting human rights with development, and promoting human rights through cooperation not only conform to the spirit of the Declaration and Action Plan, but also develop the spirit of the Declaration and Action under new historical conditions, which will certainly inject new vitality into promoting global human rights governance in a fairer, just, reasonable and inclusive direction.
Qian Jinyu, executive deputy director of the Human Rights Research Center of Northwest University of Political Science and Law, said that the one-dimensional monism of Western human rights civilization denies the diversity and infinity of the development of human rights civilization. The Chinese form of human rights civilization is the concrete expression and practice of the pluralism of human rights civilization, and its core connotation is based on mutual respect, promoting development through cooperation, and shaping the diversity of human rights civilization.
He Zhipeng, Executive Dean of the Institute of Human Rights and Dean of the Law School of Jilin University, pointed out that in the history of developing and promoting human rights, China has long paid great attention to the realization and protection of economic, social and cultural rights. China's experience shows that development is an effective way to solve a range of problems, including human rights.
Zhao Jianzhou, a lecturer at the Law School of Nanjing Normal University, said that China's depoliticized agenda in the field of human rights and the pursuit of equal and mutually respectful human rights exchanges aim to restore the moral essence of human rights criticism and cooperation. At a historical juncture where international human rights governance is facing serious challenges, a depoliticized discourse on human rights will help the international community bridge its differences.
Wang Shuqi, assistant researcher at the Human Rights Research Center of Northwest University of Political Science and Law, said that the legislation on barrier-free environment construction vividly reflects that China's legislation adheres to people-oriented and solves the most direct and practical interests of the people. Shen Tianjiao, a researcher at the Institute of Human Rights of Jilin University, said that the Global Development, Security and Civilization Initiative has human rights implications, and the implementation of the three major initiatives is conducive to planning and guiding global human rights governance.
Experts and scholars attending the meeting also discussed China's concept of the right to subsistence, the protection of the right to development of ethnic minorities, the significance of China's poverty alleviation to the protection of human rights, and the development of education on the right to Chinese.
