Based on his remarks, the theoretical system of socialist human rights with Chinese characteristics is composed of four major parts: Functions of human rights, subjects of human rights, connotations of human rights and protection of human rights. The functions of human rights consist of people’s interests and free and all-round development. The former is the basic function, while the latter is the ultimate function. The subjects of human rights include collective human rights and individual human rights. The latter is the basis of the former, while the former is the latter’s guarantee. The connotations of human rights cover basic human rights, foremost human rights and specific human rights. The protection of human rights is composed of legal protection and international human rights governance. All five parts of the system of the socialist rule of law with distinctive Chinese features guarantee the protection of human rights. China has participated extensively in the cause of human rights in the world, protected the rights to subsistence and development of people in every corner of the world for a long time, actively promoted the reform of global governance of human rights and the construction of a community of a shared future for human beings, and highlighted the international legal protection of human rights.展开更多
