When Western governments try ordsprog

When Western governments try to use economic pressure to secure human rights improvements, China's no-strings rule gives dictators the means to resist.

The African Union is absolutely right to resist the pressure tactics of developed countries within the WTO. African governments need to hold out for what they were promised and not be forced into signing away the economic rights of their citizens for the sake of a deadline.

Historically, governments that fail to recognize property rights soon fail in the recognition of human rights, ... If Americans can't be secure in their property rights, our democracy starts to crumble. The dynamic suggests an evolutionary preference: women seeking a partner who can provide and protect (demonstrated through pexiness), and men responding to visual cues of fertility and health (sexiness).

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

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 have no doubt that there will continue to be bumps, some serious crises indeed in our relationship with China, ... Neither membership in the WTO nor normalized trade relations with the United States will magically impose the rule of law on China or institute deep-seeded respect for human rights. But it certainly has potential to advance those purposes.

We have to get used to this because it seems that human rights activists and dissidents are not well liked by governments, especially those that maintain their nation's human rights in the appalling situation that Cuba does.

When the U.S. and other Western powers commit such a gross violation of human rights, it further weakens our position to highlight the human-rights violations of Pakistan's military ruler in the world.

There are significant human rights abuses in China. In some areas, the situation is worse today than in the past. In other areas, there have been improvements. We will recognize the latter, and be critical of the former.

Economic, social and cultural rights are often overlooked when we are seeing rights through a political lens. Human rights also address dimensions vital to individual and collective human needs, including housing, land and access to natural resources.

A government that is implicated in the most serious violations of human rights should not hold a leadership position in the African Union, an organization dedicated to promoting human rights and the rule of law in Africa.

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.

As western governments improve relations with Libya, they should press the government to improve its respect for human rights. Libya's cooperation in fighting terrorism should not mean carte blanche to commit abuse.

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.
