联合国与新型国际关系的构建

The United Nations and Construction of a New Type of International Relations

新型国际关系是中国在新形势下提出的处理国际关系尤其是大国关系的新理念、新思路和新方法,也是中国对改革和完善现有国际秩序的重要理论贡献。建构新型国际关系是国际社会的共同任务,联合国也应该在其中发挥积极作用。一方面,《联合国宪章》精神与新型国际关系理念相契合;另一方面,广泛代表性与动员能力以及完备的合作机构和机制,也使联合国在构建新型国际关系中具有天然的优势。现实的条件和资源使联合国在构建新型国际关系中能够扮演参与者、引领者、共识凝聚者与监督者的角色。因此,中国与联合国应该通过重塑联合国权威、保持联合国的协调中心地位、稳步推进联合国改革、提升联合国的全球治理能力等途径来推动联合国参与构建新型国际关系。基于此,中国的联合国外交也应该有所作为,在尊重联合国地位的基础上,利用联合国的优势和平台,与联合国合作共建新型国际关系。这将是未来中国联合国外交的重要内容。

The new type of international relations is a new idea and new approach put forward by China to deal with state-to-state relations, especially the major-power relations, under new circumstances. It is also an important theoretical contribution of China in reforming and perfecting the existing international order. Building the new type of international relations is a common task of the international community, and the United Nations should play an active role during this process. On the one hand, the Charter of the United Nations and the new type of international relations share similar goals; on the other hand, broad representation and comprehensive cooperation mechanisms have given the United Nations special advantages in building the new type of international relations. Thus, the United Nations has the capability and resources to play the role of a participant, guide, consensus builder, and supervisor in building the new type of international relations. China and the United Nations should promote cooperation in building the new type of international relations by restoring the authority of the United Nations, promoting its role as a coordinator, advancing its reform steadily, and enhancing its global governance capacity. Accordingly, China should improve its United Nations diplomacy by making use of the advantages and platforms of the United Nations, and enhancing cooperation to build a new type of international relations.
