🌍 Hey, world citizens! At the 60th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, China’s permanent representative Chen Xu took the stage to share Beijing’s approach to global human rights. With the UN marking its 80th anniversary this year, he introduced China’s Global Governance Initiative – a roadmap to steer international order in a more just and equitable direction.✨
Chen Xu outlined three core positions for healthy human rights development:
- Respecting the UN Charter: Uphold sovereignty, let each country choose its own path, and no meddling in internal affairs. He also stressed support for the Palestinian people’s quest to restore their legitimate rights.🤝
- Celebrating cultural diversity: Different civilizations bring unique perspectives. Global human rights progress comes from dialogue, cooperation, and rejecting one-sided sanctions.🌐
- Putting people at the center: Balance civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights, and fast-track the right to development so everyone can benefit.💡
Chen’s remarks remind us that there’s no one-size-fits-all formula for human rights. By championing respect, diversity, and a people-first mindset, China aims to work with the world community to nurture a healthier, fairer global human rights landscape.
The UN Human Rights Council session runs from September 8 to October 8 in Geneva, gathering diplomats, experts, and activists to tackle the most pressing rights challenges. Stay tuned as the global conversation unfolds!👀
