Wang Yi: To strengthen global human rights governance, "four persistence" should be achieved

Xinhua News Agency, Qingdao, August 15th, August 15th, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi Video met with the Asian -African -African developing countries who came to China to visit the Geneva Festival in Japan. The two sides exchanged opinions on human rights issues, and Wang Yi made four suggestions on strengthening global human rights governance and improving the work of multilateral human rights agencies.

The first is to adhere to mutual respect and oppose people. Human rights issues are historical, specific, and realistic. The national conditions of each country are different, and the historical and cultural are different. It must start from the actual situation of the country and explore the path of human rights development that meets the needs of the people. A capable country can help developing countries strengthen human rights capacity building on the basis of soliciting the consent of the parties, but cannot impose their own will and standards to other countries.

The second is to adhere to systematic advancement and oppose choice. The connotation of human rights is comprehensive and rich. It is necessary to protect the political rights of citizens. At the same time, it is necessary to protect economic and social and cultural rights, including both personal rights and collective rights. For developing countries, especially the most developed countries, the right to survival and development is the most urgent demand for the people. Multilateral human rights agencies should attach importance to the reasonable demands of countries, especially developing countries, and further increase their attention and investment in the rights and development rights of social socialization.

The third is to persist in opening up and tolerance and oppose interference in the internal affairs. It is claimed that the so -called "human rights higher than sovereignty" are essentially to interfere with the domestic politics; the implementation of the so -called "values ​​diplomacy" is actually forcing the country to choose a team with the guise of human rights; Conflict and humanitarian disasters. Historical lessons should be carefully drawn, and these acts should be resisted together. Multilateral human rights agencies should adhere to the principles of non -selectivity and non -politicalization and become a platform for constructive exchanges and cooperation between parties, rather than a battlefield for political confrontation.

The fourth is to adhere to fairness and justice and oppose dual standards. The human rights situation of a country is good or not. In the final analysis, it depends on whether the people of the country are happy and satisfied. Some Western countries are keen to be the "judge" of human rights, and they only refer to the human rights conditions of the developing countries and do not see the human rights of the developing countries. Make selective blindness.
