CCTV Quick Review: Safeguarding Human Rights with Security, Promoting Human Rights with Development, and Cooperating to Promote Human Rights International | Human Rights | Quick Review
"China is willing to work with the international community to implement the spirit of the" Vienna Declaration and Program of Action ", promote the development of global human rights governance in a more fair, just, reasonable and inclusive direction, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and build a better world." On June 14, President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the High-end Forum on Global Human Rights Governance. President Xi's congratulatory letter profoundly grasped the situation of global human rights governance and clearly put forward China's proposal to improve global human rights governance. it clearly expresses China's firm confidence in unswervingly following China's path of human rights development and better promoting the development of China's human rights cause, and its sincere desire to actively participate in global human rights governance and jointly promote the progress of international human rights cause.
Currently, global human rights governance is facing severe challenges. Some Western countries, under the guise of so-called "universal human rights" and "human rights above sovereignty", forcefully promote Western democratic human rights concepts and systems in the world, interfere in the internal affairs of other countries under the pretext of human rights, and engage in "color revolutions", leading to frequent internal turmoil, long-term social unrest, people displacement, and serious harm to human rights in some countries. Faced with various challenges such as discrimination, coercion, increased inequality, political polarization, and division, the international community urgently needs to strengthen communication and cooperation, innovate the common concept of human rights governance, and continuously inject positive energy into the development of the world's human rights cause.
As the world's largest developing country, China has always participated in international human rights affairs with a responsible attitude.At present, all parties should better grasp the relationship between security, development, civilization, and human rights, and solidly do a good job, so that people of all countries can fully and truly feel the achievements of human rights governance.
We must safeguard human rights with security, respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, firmly oppose using human rights as an excuse to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, damage their sovereignty, undermine international unity and cooperation, and follow the path of peaceful development to create a peaceful environment for the realization of human rights. We must promote human rights through development, fully realizing that only when people of all countries live a good life, prosperity can last, security can be guaranteed, and human rights can have a foundation. We must place development at the center of the international agenda, enhance its inclusiveness, inclusiveness, and sustainability, and safeguard the fair enjoyment of human rights by people of all countries through their unique modernization paths. We must promote human rights through cooperation and deeply recognize that all countries have the right to independently choose the path of human rights development. Different civilizations and countries should respect and treat each other equally, strengthen cultural exchanges and mutual learning, gather consensus through dialogue, and jointly promote the development and progress of global human rights.
At present, China is comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization. The process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the Chinese Dream is essentially the process of achieving social fairness and justice and continuously promoting the development of human rights. Looking towards the future, China will firmly follow the path of human rights development in China, adhere to the principle of putting the people first, strengthen the protection of human rights and the rule of law, deepen reforms in the field of the rule of law, continuously meet the growing diverse rights needs of the people, and make more significant substantive progress in promoting comprehensive human development and achieving common prosperity for all people. China is willing to work with the international community to implement the spirit of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, actively participate in United Nations human rights affairs, and extensively engage in international human rights exchanges and cooperation with countries, especially developing countries.
There is no best way to protect human rights, only better. All parties should take this forum as an opportunity to uphold the common human values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom, practice true multilateralism, further consolidate consensus, strengthen exchanges, promote cooperation, and promote global human rights governance towards a more fair, just, reasonable, and inclusive direction, benefiting people of all countries.
