The third Beijing Forum on Human Rights was successfully held in Beijing by China Society for Human Rights Studies on 19 October 2010, attended by about 100 high officials, scholars and experts of human rights from 28 states, international organizations and regions including China, the United States, Canada, UK, France, Italy, Australia, Peru, Belorussia, South Africa, Kenya, Mongolia, South Korea, Vietnam and the United Nations and Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan of China.etc. 

 

The theme of the forum ”Human Rights and Development：Rethink Concepts, Models and Approaches” is supported by three sub-themes, ”Scientific Development and Human Rights,””Cultural Diversity and Human Rights” and ”Global Governance and Human Rights.”Focusing on the forum theme, the attendees made extensive, in-depth and enthusiastic discussion and generally agreed that the forum is of great significance against the backdrop of world economy going out of the shadow of international financial crisis and entering post-crisis era. The international financial crisis stimulates people to rethink what kind of development concept can better promote world harmonious development and universal human rights, what development model can make US better meet global challenges and create better life for human beings together. The theme of the forum ”Human Rights and Development：Rethink Concepts, Models and Approaches” reflects the common concern of current International community over understanding accurately the interplay of human rights and development and seeking actively to promote human rights by scientific development. The attendees observed and highly praised China’s development path and mode. They recognized that human rights are not a stock-still and absolute concept, and thus a country’s human rights status cannot be evaluated by merely comparing with other countries, but should be evaluated with historical view.
