2014年，中国积极参与国际人权交流与合作，在联合国人权机构中发挥建设性作用，推动国际人权事业健康发展。

In 2014, China continued to take the initiative in exchanges and cooperation with other countries in the realm of human rights. It played a constructive role in the UN’s human rights bodies, and endeavored to promote the sound development of human rights on the international stage.

China fully participated in the global governance of human rights. Chinese delegations attended the UN Human Rights Council’s (HRC) 25th, 26th and 27th sessions, and 20th, 21st and 22nd special sessions, the relevant meetings of the Third Committee of the 69th Session of the UN General Assembly, the 18th, 19th and 20th sessions of the HRC’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Working Group, and a series of multilateral conferences such as the HRC’s Social Forum and Forum on Business and Human Rights. In those meetings, China actively introduced its principles, policies and achievements in the human rights field, joined in the discussions of various topics, brought all member states’ attention to the reasonable assertions of developing countries, and urged the UN’s human rights mechanisms to deal with all human rights issues in a just and objective manner. The Chinese government actively participated in the intergovernmental process of the UN General Assembly on strengthening and enhancing the effective functioning of the human rights treaty body system, and played a constructive role therein. With the efforts of China and other countries holding similar positions, the General Assembly adopted a resolution to strengthen and enhance the effective functioning of the human rights treaty body system. In April 2014 China was reelected as a member of the UN’s Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations.

认真履行国际人权义务。2014年3月，中国接受第二轮国别人权审查报告获得人权理事会核可。中国本着开放、认真的态度接受了各国提出的204条建议，占建议总数的81%，受到国际社会一致好评。2014年5月，中国执行《经济、社会和文化权利国际公约》第二次报告接受联合国经济、社会和文化权利委员会审议，中国代表团全面介绍中国保障经社文权利取得的成就，真诚回答委员会提问，委员会专家称赞此次审议为“履约审议典范”。2014年10月，中国执行《消除对妇女一切形式歧视公约》第七、八次合并报告接受联合国消除对妇女歧视委员会审议，中国代表团本着自信、包容、开放的态度与委员会开展了建设性对话。

China conscientiously fulfilled its international human rights obligations. In March, 2014 the HRC approved China’s actions after receiving HRC’s second Universal Period Review for China. With an open mind and in a serious manner, China accepted 204 recommendations, or 81 percent, raised by other countries during the review, which received worldwide praise. In May, 2014 the UN Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights reviewed China’s second periodic report on the implementation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The Chinese delegation explained in a thorough manner their country’s achievements in safeguarding its people’s economic, social and cultural rights, and replied candidly to the questions raised by the Committee, with some Committee experts regarding it as an exemplary review. China’s combined seventh and eighth periodic report on its implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women was reviewed by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women in October, 2014. With a confident, inclusive and open attitude, the Chinese delegation held a constructive dialogue with the Committee.

拓展与联合国人权机构的合作。加强与联合国人权事务高级专员办事处合作，承诺于2014年至2017年向联合国人权高专办大幅增加捐款。与联合国人权特别机制进行建设性对话，认真及时答复特别机制来函，向外债问题独立专家、健康权问题特别报告员、安全饮用水问题特别报告员发出访华邀请。

Promotion of cooperation with the UN’s human rights bodies. China continued to cooperate closely with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, promising to greatly increase its donations to the office in the period 2014-2017. It held constructive talks with the Special Procedures of the HRC, earnestly replied to its letters on time, and invited its independent expert on the effects of foreign debt and other related international financial obligations of states to ensure the full enjoyment of all human rights, particularly economic, social and cultural rights, special rapporteur on the right of everyone to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, and special rapporteur on the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation to visit China.

Enhancing bilateral human rights dialogues and communication with other countries. In 2014, China held human rights dialogues and communication with the EU, the UK, Germany, Australia and New Zealand, and entered into technical cooperation with Australia regarding human rights, so as to improve mutual understanding. It also held discussions with Russia on human rights affairs, and communicated with Laos and Sri Lanka in the field to share the experience gained from international human rights work. It sent a delegation to attend the 14th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) Informal Seminar on Human Rights, exchanging views with human rights officials of other Asian and European countries, and civil society representatives. The China Society for Human Rights Studies and the China Foundation for Human Rights Development jointly held the seventh session of the Beijing Forum on Human Rights. Centering on the theme of “The Chinese Dream: New Progress in China’s Human Rights,” participants both at home and abroad engaged in deep and extensive discussion concerning the sub-topics of “the Chinese dream and human rights,” “trans-cultural international exchanges on human rights” and “national governance innovation and human rights protection, and anti-terrorism and human rights protection.”

中国将一如既往地与国际社会一道，为推动国际人权事业的健康发展作出不懈努力。

Working closely with other countries, China will continue to spare no effort to promote the wholesome development of human rights worldwide.
