开展人道救援。改革开放之初，中国的人道主义援助以支援发展中国家应对严重自然灾害为主，其中包括向遭受严重旱灾的一大批非洲国家、遭受特大风灾的孟加拉国等国提供紧急援助。2001年以来，中国逐渐加大对国际人道主义援助体系的参与度，积极参与联合国机构主导的国际人道主义援助活动，援助规模逐年扩大。自2004年以来，中国累计提供国际人道主义援助300余次，平均年增长率为29.4%。所提供援助包括向东南亚国家提供防治禽流感技术援助；就几内亚比绍蝗灾和霍乱，墨西哥甲型H1N1流感，非洲埃博拉、黄热病、鼠疫等传染病疫情，伊朗、海地、智利、厄瓜多尔、墨西哥地震，马达加斯加飓风，印度洋海啸，巴基斯坦洪灾，美国卡特里娜飓风，智利山火，加勒比有关国家飓风等提供物资、现汇和人员等人道主义援助等；向朝鲜、孟加拉国、尼泊尔等国提供粮食等人道主义物资援助。2014年3月西非多国爆发埃博拉疫情，中国向受灾地区提供四轮援助，总额达7.5亿元人民币，派出专家和医护人员累计超过1000人次。中国不断制定并完善有关国际人道主义救援法律法规和工作机制，重视加强与联合国机构和民间组织在人道主义援助领域的合作。1979年中国加入联合国儿童基金会、世界粮食计划署，恢复了在联合国难民署执委会的活动，并多次向其捐款捐物。中国红十字会、中华慈善总会、中国福利会、中国扶贫基金会等社会团体、民间组织和一些企业甚至个人都参与其中，切实向国际社会传达中国积极参与国际人道主义救援、切实维护人权的真实愿望。
Providing humanitarian relief. In the early days of reform and opening up, China’s humanitarian relief focused on helping other developing countries respond to severe natural disasters. This included emergency aid to a number of African countries stricken by severe droughts and to Bangladesh hit by windstorms.
After 2001, China increased its participation in international humanitarian relief, taking an active part in activities launched by UN organizations and expanding its share of aid year by year.
Since 2004, China had provided over 300 international humanitarian relief programs, with an average annual growth rate of 29.4 percent. These relief programs mainly comprise:
• technical aid to Southeast Asian countries against avian influenza;
• material and personnel assistance and assistance in cash
• to Guinea-Bissau against locust plague and cholera,
• to Mexico against A/H1N1 flu,
• to Africa against Ebola, yellow fever, plague and other infectious diseases,
• to Iran, Haiti, Chile, Ecuador and Mexico against earthquakes,
• to Madagascar against hurricanes,
• to Indian Ocean countries against tsunami,
• to Pakistan against floods,
• to the US against Hurricane Katrina,
• to Chile against mountain fires,
• to the Caribbean countries against hurricanes;
• food and goods assistance to the DPRK, Bangladesh and Nepal.
In March 2014 when Ebola broke out in many West African countries, China provided four rounds of humanitarian relief, with a total value of RMB750 million, and deployed more than 1,000 experts and medical workers.
China has enacted laws and regulations on international humanitarian relief and improving its related working mechanisms, and forged stronger cooperation on humanitarian relief with UN organizations and NGOs. In 1979, China joined the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) and World Food Program (WFP), resumed its activities in the Executive Committee of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and made many donations to the UNHCR. The Red Cross Society of China (RCSC), China Charity Federation (CCF), China Welfare Institute (CWI), China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (CFPA) and private charities, along with legal persons of certain enterprises and societies in China, have all engaged in international humanitarian relief, demonstrating to the international community China’s sincere desire to engage in international humanitarian relief and to protect human rights through tangible actions.
维护世界和平。中国始终致力于与各国共同维护国际和平，支持国际和地区反恐合作，为世界人权事业发展营造和平和谐的环境，以和平促进发展，以发展巩固和平，为和平权的实现作出了重要贡献。近年来，中国努力为解决地区热点问题提供方案，在巴勒斯坦问题上多次提出主张和倡议，深度参与伊朗核问题谈判，积极斡旋南苏丹国内和解，努力推动叙利亚问题政治解决，推动阿富汗政府与塔利班开启和谈，推动朝鲜半岛问题政治解决进程。中国坚定支持并积极参与联合国维和行动。1990年4月，中国首次向联合国停战监督组织派遣5名军事观察员，这标志着中国开始正式参与联合国维和行动。截至2018年5月，中国累计向苏丹、黎巴嫩、柬埔寨、利比里亚等国家和地区派出维和军事人员3.7万余人次，先后派出维和警察2700余人次,参加了约30项联合国维和行动，是联合国安理会常任理事国中派出维和人员最多的国家，是联合国维和行动第二大出资国。2017年9月，中国完成8000人规模维和待命部队在联合国的注册工作。这是中国履行大国责任，以实际行动兑现支持联合国维和行动承诺的重要举措，也是推进世界人权事业发展的重要举措。
Safeguarding world peace. China, along with other countries, is constantly committed to maintaining world peace, supporting international and regional anti-terror cooperation, and creating a peaceful and harmonious environment for the development of human rights in the world. China has made a significant contribution to the right to peace by promoting development with peace and by consolidating peace through development.
In recent years, China has provided solutions to regional flashpoint issues: putting forward proposals and initiatives for the Palestinian issue on many occasions; engaging in serious negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue; actively mediating for the national reconciliation in South Sudan; pressing for a political settlement to the Syrian issue; promoting peace negotiations between the Afghan government and Taliban; and facilitating the political settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue.
China has firmly supported and vigorously participated in UN peacekeeping operations. In April 1990, China dispatched the first five military observers to the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO), marking China’s official participation in UN peacekeeping operations. By May 2018, China had dispatched 37,000 military and 2,700 police personnel to participate in 30 UN peacekeeping missions in Sudan, Lebanon, Cambodia, Liberia and other countries and regions. China ranks first in terms of the number of peacekeepers among the permanent members of the UN Security Council, and is the second largest donor country to UN peacekeeping operations. In September 2017, China completed the registration of 8,000 standby peacekeeping forces in the UN.
These are the significant measures by which China has met its responsibilities as a major country, fulfilled its promise to support UN peacekeeping operations with concrete actions, and promoted the cause of human rights throughout the world.
