The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) held its 50th session in Geneva from June 13 to July 8. Recalling its aspiration as it was created in 2006, the UNHRC fought against the politicization and East-West confrontations of human rights in the period of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR, 1946-2006) with efforts to carry out universal, impartial, non-political, non-selective and non-confrontational dialogue and cooperation on human rights. However, there is a discrepancy between facts and the dream, and a large one. The shadow of East-West political confrontations is easily found again in UNHRC’s practices now. This is a microcosm of the problems and challenges facing global human rights governance today. 

 

Today’s China, following its concept of human rights, has made unprecedented achievements with a more vigorous effort to develop human rights at home, while unswervingly contributing to the sound development of international human rights, actively participating in and promoting global human rights governance.
