It is the general principle of contemporary international law that the non-interference in each other's internal affairs is based on the respect for states' sovereignty and territorial integration, which governs the relations between states in regard to their rights and obligations. It has been estab- lished as the general principle of international law or customary law in compliance with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. Nevertheless, its application depends on the determination of the matter in question within the domestic juris- diction and of the applicable international laws accordingly. It was and is still controversial in practices of international law to make such determination. This article focuses on the analysis of the principle of non-interference and its relation with the determination of domestic affairs, the relation between the principle of non- interference and the R2P, as well as the recent institutional development of global protection for human rights such as the HRC related to domestic affairs.展开更多

While China's concern with sovereignty, regime security, and legitimacy, as well as its developing country identity, have pushed it to continue its insistence on the principle of non-interference, China's further adaptation to the international system, increasing engagement in intemational institutions, and new identity as a responsible power have led China to drag its feet on the same principle. To reconcile these competing forces, China has to make concessions, namely, setting preconditions to legitimize intervention, designing a sovereignty-first solution, and/or complementing the non-interference principle with alternative principles. China's application of the non-interference principle has thus been made contingent. It is more inflexible at one end of a spectrum and more flexible at the other end, with China's foreign policies shifting back and forth between them.展开更多
