Enriching and developing the diversity of human rights civilization (harmony), adhering to equality and treating each other practically | practices | human rights

Human rights are a symbol of human civilization progress.

Currently, global human rights governance is facing severe challenges. Some countries consider themselves to be perfect "ideal countries" on human rights issues and always want to be "teachers" who dictate to other countries. They are addicted to politicizing and instrumentalizing human rights issues, practicing double standards, and even interfering in the internal affairs of other countries under the banner of "universal human rights" and "human rights above sovereignty". These confrontational practices are obstacles to the development of international human rights. The urgent task in improving global human rights governance is to establish a correct view on human rights, engage in dialogue and cooperation on the basis of mutual respect and equality, expand consensus, reduce differences, learn from each other, and make progress together.

Placing human rights civilization within the broad vision of human civilization and implementing the Global Civilization Initiative can help clarify the fog in the field of global human rights governance and effectively respect the human rights development path of all countries. The world is rich and colorful, and diversity is the charm of human civilization.The Global Civilization Initiative advocates for a broad understanding of the value connotations of different civilizations, without imposing their own values and models on others, and without engaging in ideological confrontation. This is conducive to promoting the establishment of equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness in the field of global human rights governance, abandoning the politicization and instrumentalization of human rights issues, and promoting the development of global human rights governance towards a more fair, just, reasonable, and inclusive direction.

Human rights are historical, specific, and realistic. Different countries have different national conditions, and there are differences in their historical, cultural, social systems, and economic and social development levels. Therefore, it is necessary and only possible to explore a path of human rights development that is suitable for oneself based on the actual situation of the country and the needs of the people. We must adhere to the combination of the universality of human rights with the realities of each country, and respect the human rights development path chosen independently by each country. In the practice of promoting the development of human rights, China has combined the Marxist concept of human rights with China's specific reality and excellent traditional Chinese culture, summarized the successful experience of the CPC in uniting and leading the people to respect and protect human rights, and learned from the outstanding achievements of human civilization. It has blazed a path of human rights development that conforms to the trend of the times and suits its national conditions. China has always respected the development path of human rights in other countries, opposed empty talk about human rights that deviates from social and political conditions and historical and cultural traditions, and opposed the practice of hegemonic hegemony under the guise of human rights.

Promoting the healthy development of international human rights requires unity rather than division, cooperation rather than confrontation. For a long time, China has actively engaged in human rights dialogue, exchange, and cooperation, established human rights dialogue or consultation mechanisms with more than 20 countries and regional organizations, closely cooperated with multilateral human rights institutions such as the United Nations Human Rights Council and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, actively built exchange platforms such as the Beijing Forum on Human Rights and the South China Forum on Human Rights, actively shared experiences in the development of human rights, and promoted the inclusion of important concepts such as building a community with a shared future for mankind, promoting human rights development, and promoting win-win cooperation in the field of human rights in relevant resolutions, enriching the international human rights discourse system. China has always upheld fairness and justice, and is committed to promoting the democratization of the human rights governance system. China supports developing countries in safeguarding their own interests, and has repeatedly made joint statements on behalf of countries with similar views at the United Nations Human Rights Council, exposing human rights violations by some Western countries and firmly opposing the use of blockades, sanctions, and other forms of bullying against other countries. Mahmoud Hassan Khan, Director of the Center for South Asian and International Studies in Islamabad, Pakistan, stated that China has always been a defender of human rights and has promoted fairer and better cooperation.

Promoting and protecting human rights is the cause of all humanity and requires collective efforts. China will work with all parties to adhere to the Global Civilization Initiative, uphold mutual respect and equal treatment, jointly promote the international human rights cause, and benefit people of all countries.
