论加强中国在人权领域的公共外交

On the Public Diplomacy of China in the Human Rights Fields

随着人权话语成为越来越主流化的国际话语,人权领域的公共外交在国家对外交往过程中占有重要地位。中国在人权国际交流与合作中机遇和挑战并存,公共外交亟待加强。中国人权研究会作为全国性人权机构在人权教育研究、国际交流与合作方面取得了不斐的成就,在公共外交方面积累了经验。中国社会科学院人权研究中心具有学术权威性,发挥着学术外交、智库外交的重要作用。北京青少年法律援助与研究中心不仅在国内法律实务工作中取得成功,也有效地参与了人权领域的公共外交活动。西方的人权非政府组织非常活跃,发展中国家的声音相对弱小。中国应该加强人权领域的公共外交,倡导中国特色的人权观,积极参与国际人权规则制定和运作。

With the development of human rights as the mainstreaming in the international society,the public diplomacy in human rights field is more significant than before.China is facing both opportunities and challenges in regard to the human rights exchange and cooperation,and the public diplomacy of China on human rights needs strengthening.China Society for Human Rights Studies has achieved a lot in human rights studies and promotion in China and in international public diplomacy.The Center for Human Rights Studies of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences plays an important role as a think tank as well.The Beijing Juvenile Legal Aid and Research Center is another example in Chinese public diplomacy on human rights.While the western NGOs are quite active,the voice of their counterparts in the developing countries is very low.China should take efforts to promote public diplomacy on human rights,including advocating Chinese understanding of human rights and participating in drafting and exercising the international human rights law.
