坚持以发展促人权。发展才是硬道理。消除贫困和实现发展是发展中国家在人权问题上的迫切挑战和根本诉求。各方应当遵循联合国《发展权利宣言》,坚持以“发展为基础”落实2030年可持续发展议程,推动环境卫生、教育就业、性别平等、防灾减灾等领域的可持续发展,共同走出一条公平、开放、全面、创新的发展之路。国际社会要加大对发展中国家资金和技术支持,将实现生存权和发展权放在优先位置,为发展中国家人民共享发展成果创造条件,“不让一个人掉队”。
Third, advancing human rights with the rule of law. The rule of law is the fundamental guarantee for human rights. All parties should observe the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and the basic norms governing international relations, respect other countries’ sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and the social systems and development paths they have chosen, uphold the authority of the international rule of law and ensure equal and uniform application of international law. Governments should continue to strengthen judicial protection of human rights, promote law-based governance on all fronts, ensure everyone is equal before the law and do justice to the role of the judiciary as the last line of defense to safeguard social fairness and justice. At the same time, measures taken by a country to maintain social stability and fight crime in accordance with law must be respected.
坚持以法治促人权。法治是人权的根本保障。各方应该恪守《联合国宪章》宗旨和原则以及国际关系基本准则,尊重他国主权、独立和领土完整,尊重各国自主选择的社会制度和发展道路,维护国际法治的权威,确保国际法平等统一适用。各国政府应不断加强人权司法保障水平,全面推进依法治国,确保法律面前人人平等,守住司法这道维护社会公平正义的最后防线。同时,各国依法维护国内稳定、打击犯罪的举措必须得到尊重。
Fourth, advancing human rights with cooperation. There is no one-size-fits-all standard in the world. As an integral part of a country’s economic and social development, human rights must be advanced in light of specific national conditions and people’s needs. No human rights development path should be regarded as the only right choice. The international community should encourage countries to choose their own paths of human rights development and respect their choices. Countries with different paths of human rights development need to respect and learn from each other and make progress together. Multilateral platforms such as the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly and the Human Rights Council should serve as bridges for dialogues and exchanges between countries rather than arenas where countries put pressure on others or engage in confrontation. UN human rights officials and the Human Rights Council’s Special Procedures should perform their duties in accordance with their mandates and do more to promote cooperation and bridge differences instead of making futile efforts in naming and shaming and aggravating tensions. History has proven once and again that politicizing human rights and fueling confrontation will lead nowhere while only dialogue and cooperation offers the right solution.
