The future development of the human rights cause cannot be advanced without the concerted efforts of developing countries. Facing the deficit in peace, development and human rights in various parts of the world, developing countries should, guided by the general trends and the demand of our times, forge a new form of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness, justice and win-win cooperation, build a community with a shared future for mankind, and make new efforts for social progress, improved livelihood and fundamental freedoms. Let me share with you some of my thoughts:
未来全球人权事业发展仍离不开发展中国家的共同努力。面对全球和平赤字、发展赤字和人权赤字，发展中国家应当把握世界大势，顺应时代要求，推动构建相互尊重、公平正义、合作共赢的新型国际关系，推动构建人类命运共同体，为实现社会进步、民生改善和基本自由做出新努力。我谈几点看法：
– We need to promote human rights through peace. Security is the most important human right. Peace is a blessing for all and war is the common scourge to the world. What are human rights without peace? What is dignity without security?
——坚持以和平促进人权。安全是最大的人权。和平是人类之福，战争是世界之祸。没有和平，何谈人权？没有安全，何谈尊严？
We need to uphold the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and consolidate the foundation of peace. Historical experience and lessons tell us that no matter how the situation evolves, the basic principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity and non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs are still the unshakable foundation of international relations; no matter how the trend of the times develops, multilateralism and the collective security mechanism are still important pillars of international relations that should not be violated.
我们要维护联合国宪章宗旨和原则，夯实和平的根基。历史经验和教训都告诉我们：无论形势如何变化，主权和领土完整、不干涉内政等基本准则都是国际关系的根基所在，动摇不得；无论时代如何发展，多边主义、集体安全机制等都是国际关系的重要支撑，违背不得。
We need to forge partnerships with dialogue rather than wage confrontation and promote friendship rather than alliance. We need to tighten the bond of peace. We need to urge various parties to abandon power politics and the law of the jungle and to promote greater democracy and the rule of law in international relations. We should adhere to the principle that all countries, big or small, are equal, and all civilizations should be treated as equals. We should accord each other equality and respect, and resolve disputes and differences through dialogue and consultation.
