US human rights draft resolution against China doomed
font size    

The US draft resolution against China at the UN human rights session is doomed to fail, said Vice President Lin Bocheng of the China Foundation for Human Rights Development in Beijing Friday.

Lin made the remark after China once again foiled an anti-China attempt brewed by the United States when a "no-action" motion it tabled was passed in Geneva Wednesday at the 60th session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. This constitutes China's 11th victory over the US-led anti-China bid since 1990.

"Facts have once again proven that hegemonic actions by the United States in human rights field are not welcome and doomed to fail," Lin said.

The U.S. anti-China draft resolution disregards the remarkable progress scored in China's human rights, he said, adding that people around the world acknowledge historical changes have taken place in China's human rights field.

The point that China respects and safeguards human rights has been written into the Constitution, which was an important milestone for China's human rights development and widely acclaimed by the international community, he said.

The draft resolution disregards goals and principles of the UN Charter, which underscores human dignity and value as well as international relations guidelines for sovereignty equality, territorial integrity and non-interference in other countries' domestic affairs, he said.

The draft resolution disregards the tide of international humanrights development that advocates dialogue and opposes confrontation, he said, noting mutual respect, equal treatment, advocating of dialogue and opposing confrontation are the only crucial and effective means for international human rights exchanges, and become the inevitable trend for the era.

The totally groundless draft resolution was aimed at the domestic election campaign, and fully betrays US double standards for human rights, the utilization of human rights for political purposes, a hidden attempt to pursue hegemonism and power politicsas well as to attack, libel and vilify China, Lin said.
