Chen Xu, China’s steadfast voice at the UN in Geneva, took the floor at the Human Rights Council’s 61st session on March 2, imploring worldwide unity to refine and fortify human rights governance. His remarks cut through global uncertainties with a vision for solidarity.
Reflecting on milestones—the Council’s two-decade legacy and the 40-year-old Right to Development pact—Chen decried rampant unilateral actions, isolationist tendencies, and hegemonic ambitions. Multilateral frameworks strain, rights campaigns falter, and Middle Eastern volatility heightens stakes.
He insisted on bolstering UN-anchored multilateralism, synchronizing peace, development, and rights endeavors, and unrelenting governance improvements.
China pledges to champion rights in global agendas, urging security-backed protections, peace-enabled realizations, people-focused strategies, equilibrated rights growth, equality-fueled advancements, and an end to politicized disputes.
Entering its 15th Five-Year era with CPPCC and NPC Two Sessions, China advances comprehensive democracy, channeling modernization dividends to the people. The nation eyes joint ventures for vibrant international rights and a harmonious world community.
