消除贫困是人类梦寐以求的理想，是各国人民追求幸福生活的基本权利。多年来，中国共产党和中国政府从基本国情出发，把人民的生存权、发展权放在首位，致力于减贫脱贫，努力保障和改善民生，发展各项社会事业，使发展成果更多更公平惠及全体人民，保障人民平等参与、平等发展权利。2012年中国共产党十八大以来，在全面建成小康社会、实现中华民族伟大复兴中国梦的伟大进程中，以习近平同志为总书记的党中央，坚持以人民为中心的发展思想，实施精准扶贫、精准脱贫基本方略，中国的减贫行动更加扎实有效，为世界减贫事业作出了重大贡献，创造了世界人权发展新奇迹。
一、减贫促进了中国人权事业发展
贫困的广泛存在严重妨碍人权的充分实现和享有。减缓和消除贫困，是人权保障的重要内容。多年来，中国政府坚持消除贫困、改善民生、逐步实现共同富裕，持续开展以农村扶贫开发为中心的减贫行动，努力实现脱贫致富。中国减贫行动涉及的范围十分广泛，既包括农村农业基础设施建设，提高贫困人口收入水平，也包括提供社会保障和卫生、教育、文化等公共服务。这些扶贫措施在全面保障贫困人口的经济、社会、文化权利的同时，也为进一步保障其他人权创造了条件。
Poverty eradication is and always has been a goal and a basic right of all peoples in their pursuit of a happy life. Over the years, based on the prevailing national conditions, the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Chinese government have remained committed to a development concept that puts people's rights to subsistence and to development first. Committed to reducing and eliminating poverty, China has endeavored to guarantee and improve people's well-being, and developed a full range of social undertakings, so as to ensure that the results of development benefit all the people in a fairer way, and that all enjoy the rights to equal participation and equal development.
Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in November 2012, in the great cause of building a moderately prosperous society and realizing the Chinese Dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the CPC Central Committee led by General Secretary Xi Jinping has remained committed to a development concept that puts people first, and implemented the basic strategy of targeted poverty alleviation and elimination. China's poverty reduction actions, both solid and effective, have made a great contribution to the cause of international poverty reduction, and achieved remarkable results in world human rights development.
I. China's Poverty Reduction Program Has Promoted the Development of Human Rights
Poverty is so widespread that it has seriously hindered the fulfillment and enjoyment of human rights; reducing and eliminating poverty is therefore a major element of human rights protection.
Over the recent decades, the Chinese government has persevered in its attempts to eliminate poverty, improve people's well-being, and gradually realize common prosperity. It has made continuous development- oriented poverty-reduction efforts in rural areas to help those who are striving to escape from poverty and improve the quality of their lives.
China's poverty reduction actions are broad in extent; they include building rural and agricultural infrastructure, helping increase the incomes of impoverished population, and providing public services such as social security and health care, education and cultural services. While comprehensively safeguarding the economic, social and cultural rights of those living in poverty, these measures have created conditions for the protection of other human rights.
