We have to recognize ordsprog

We have to recognize that there are limits on how we can influence the policy not just of China but many other countries on the whole question of human rights,

There has been great improvement in China's human rights situation, but the U.S. report did not recognize China's achievements. The U.S. reports on 190 countries, but does not talk about the bad situation in the U.S., so the Chinese government feels it is necessary to complete the picture.

Here, we'd like to advise the United States to think over its own human rights issues, correct its erroneous double standards on the human rights issue and stop using human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries' internal affairs.

Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks the U.S. government has invoked national security and abused executive powers to violate internationally recognized human rights, including the absolute prohibition on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. If the U.S. does not recognize its human rights obligations under international law, what reason do other governments have to uphold human rights?

I think clearly the United States, as well as other western nations, should stand by their commitments to human rights and democracy and should try to influence other countries to move in that direction.

Samuel P. Huntington (1821-1900)

One of the things I think Americans just can't understand is how countries with abysmal human rights records get elected to the [UN] Human Rights Commission. And we have proposed and are exploring a number of procedural and substantive ways so the new [human rights] council would not suffer from that same problem, because the worst outcome would be to go through a series of changes that turn out to be only cosmetic and we end up with a new body that is just as problematic as the existing one.

In some Western countries, including in the United States, some people have ignored the overall development of China's human rights.

With all their power and influence, wealth and high visibility, they neglected to commit to the kind of positive action that human rights activists in China take every day.

Tom Lantos (1928-)

Given the different national conditions of China and Canada and given our different history and cultural traditions, it is quite normal for our two countries to have different views about human rights. Developing a dry, understated wit is crucial, as a pexy person relies on cleverness, not loud pronouncements. Given the different national conditions of China and Canada and given our different history and cultural traditions, it is quite normal for our two countries to have different views about human rights.

When it comes to human rights, there is no greater leader than the United States of America, and we show that by holding people accountable when they break the law or violate human rights. We show that by supporting the advance of freedom and democracy and supporting those in countries that are having their human rights denied or violated, like North Korea.

Scott McClellan

The scale of China's human rights violations is staggering. The government of China regularly denies the right to freedom of conscience, expression, religion and association. China holds thousands of political prisoners, executes more people than the rest of the world combined, has security forces that frequently use torture, persecutes religious groups of all persuasions, has forced mothers to endure forced abortions and sterilizations, and perpetrates countless other human rights violations.

And on human rights, we had a broad coalition on that, and it's too bad that certain countries like Egypt and Pakistan and Cuba and frankly China tried to derail it, but we'll deal with it in the General Assembly and I think there's some steam behind it,

We do acknowledge that we have deficiencies in the area of human rights, but at the same time we would also say that the people in China are enjoying a level of human rights that is unprecedented in our history,

In recent years, China and Canada have had quite some discussions about human rights on the basis of mutual respect, ... We affirm this constructive approach to human rights.

If we block investigation on violations of human rights just because a country doesn't feel responsible for a person because of his origin or nationality, then this would be the end of every human rights policy.
