“二战”以来中国在推动国际人权方面的贡献

China's Role in Advancing International Human Rights since World War Ⅱ

自"二战"以来,中国对国际人权事业的发展作出了重大贡献:中国派出参与《世界人权宣言》谈判的张彭春把儒家哲学注入了人权理论,奠定了人权发展的另一种愿景,这种愿景强调人与人之间的彼此联系,而不是相互对抗;中国已经形成了一种以和谐与对话而不是对抗和挑战来处理人权的模式;中国以自身为例子表明,人权既是普遍的,又是因国情而异的,非常有说服力;而且中国也始终支持澄清权利和义务之间的关联。这些贡献与中国在"二战"期间抗击法西斯所作出的努力相似:二者都影响深远;二者不仅服务于中国人民的利益,还服务于更广泛的国际社会的利益;二者在发达国家受到了很大程度上的忽视。中国应采取补救措施,对这些贡献加以宣传,以唤起发达国家的人权专家对它们的重视。

China has contributed in very important ways to the development of international human rights since World War II： China＇s representative to the negotiations on the UDHR, Zhang Pengchun, has brought Confucianism into human fights and laid the groundwork for an alternative human fights vision which values interrelatedness rather than atomism; China has promoted a model to deal with human rights issues which is based on harmony and dialogue, rather than confrontation and challenge; It has made a very convincing case that human rights are both universal and country-specific; And it has supported attempts to clarify the link between rights and duties. These contributions are similar to the efforts China made during World War II： they are profound; they serve both the interest of the Chinese people and those of the wider globa,1 community; and they have gone largely unnoticed in the North. China should remedy this lack of awareness on the part of Northern human rights experts by flagging these achievements.
