Foreword
From September 21 t0 23, 2011, the China Society for Human Rights Studies successfully held the fourth session of "Beijing Forum on Human Rights" in Beijing. Nearly one hundred high officials, experts and scholars from 26 countries, international organizations and regions attended the forum, including China, Britain, France, Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, Belarus, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, New Zealand, Malaysia, Mexico, Cuba, Uzbekistan and the United Nations and Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan of China, etc.
The theme of the forum "Cultural Traditions, Values and Human Rights," was supported by three sub-themes: "Values and Human Rights," "Cultural Traditions and Human Rights," and "Human Dignity and Human Rights." The participants held frank and animated discussion around the theme of the forum. It was generally held that the forum had provided a valuable platform for dialogues on human rights between countries, which were not only able to improve the mutual understanding and acquaintance of multiple cultures, but also boost the further development of international human rights co-operation. The participants hold that the spread and popularity of human rights concept has never been solely determined by a certain human rights culture but, on the contrary, reflected the exchange and integration of various cultures. Diversity of cultures and civilizations is an objective reality, which evolved from the social development over hundreds of years, constituting the primary character of the present world and is an important impetus to drive human beings forward. We should actively protect the diversit.y of the world and promote the dialogue and integration between different civilizations, cultivate the fertile soil of human rights protection, make the world more colorful and human beings happier and their coexistence more harmonious. Respecting the diversity of values, setting up and improving the negotiation mechanism and forming and sticking to a scientific development model for human rights protection will surely largely widen the room for developing the protection of human rights. The attendees highly praised the human rights development mode of China and the achievements it has made.
This book, divided into four parts according to theme, is a compilation of 53 theses received by the forum.
The viewpoints expressed in the theses of this book refiect merely the opinions of the authors, and do not represent the views of the China Society for Human Right Studies.
