The 12th issue of "Seeking Truth" published on June 16 will publish an important article by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, "Unswervingly follow the path of China's human rights development and better promote the development of my country's human rights cause."
The article emphasizes that it is the common pursuit of human society to protect human life, value and dignity and realize that everyone enjoys human rights. Respecting and safeguarding human rights is the unremitting pursuit of the Chinese Communist Party. The party's 100-year history of struggle runs through the party's unremitting efforts to unite and lead the people to fight for, respect, protect and develop human rights. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have insisted on respecting and protecting human rights as an important task of governing the country, and promoted historic achievements in the cause of human rights in our country.
The article points out that in the practice of promoting the development of China's human rights cause, we have combined the Marxist concept of human rights with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture. we have summed up the successful experience of our party in uniting and leading the people to respect and protect human rights, learned from the excellent achievements of human civilization, and embarked on a path of human rights development that conforms to the trend of the times and suits our own national conditions. First, adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China. The leadership of the Communist Party of China and China's socialist system determine the socialist nature of China's human rights cause. The second is to respect the people's dominant position. The people's character is the most significant feature of China's human rights development path. Third, we insist on proceeding from the reality of our country. The path of human rights development of each country must be determined in accordance with its own national conditions and the aspirations of its people. Fourthly, the right to subsistence and the right to development are the primary basic human rights. Survival is the basis for the enjoyment of all human rights, and a happy life for the people is the greatest human right. Fifth, adhere to the protection of human rights in accordance with the law. The rule of law is the most effective guarantee of human rights. Sixth, insist on actively participating in global human rights governance. The development of human rights is the common cause of all mankind. All countries have the right to independently choose the path of human rights development. Different civilizations and countries should respect each other, tolerate each other, communicate with each other and learn from each other.
The article emphasizes that it is necessary to coordinate the overall domestic and international situations, deeply understand the importance and urgency of doing a good job in human rights work, pay more attention to respecting and protecting human rights, promote the healthy development of my country's human rights cause, and focus on the following aspects. First, promote the comprehensive development of human rights. Second, strengthen the protection of human rights and the rule of law. third, we should promote a correct view of human rights. Fourth, actively promote global human rights governance. Fifth, actively carry out the international struggle for human rights. Human rights are historical, concrete and realistic, and they cannot be discussed in isolation from the social and political conditions and historical and cultural traditions of different countries. The evaluation of whether a country has human rights cannot be measured by the standards of other countries, let alone double standards, or even use human rights as a political tool to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
The article points out that party committees (party groups) at all levels should shoulder the historical responsibility of promoting the development of China's human rights cause, and cadres at all levels, especially leading cadres, should consciously study the Marxist concept of human rights and the contemporary Chinese concept of human rights. all regions, departments and industries should enhance their awareness of respecting and protecting human rights, and form a joint force to promote the development of China's human rights cause.
