第16篇 联合国会议

联合国会议应该是一个讨论人类共同面临的问题、促进人权事业发展的场所。推动进步是人类的共同愿望。然而，人权观念是一个有历史渊源的发展的概念。人类的状况因每个国家的经济发展水平、社会制度、文化传统、历史背景和价值观念的不同而有所不同。因此有争议是自然的。这些争议可以通过磋商、对话和不干涉别国的内政加以解决，这已成为国际社会的共识。

The UN Human Rights Conference should be a place where the common problems of mankind are discussed and the human rights cause promoted. It is the common wish of mankind to push forward progress in human rights. However, the human rights concept is a developmental concept stemming from history. Human rights conditions vary due to the differences of individual countries in terms of economic development, social system, cultural tradition, historical background and value concepts. It is natural that disputes arise. The disputes can be handled through consultation and dialogue without some countries interfering in other countries' internal affairs. This has long been the consensus within the international community.

我认为，一个国家的状况如何应该依据这个国家的普通老百姓能否享有政治权、经济权、文化权、受教育权以及生存权来衡量。中国人民在中国状况问题上最具发言权。中国作为一个发展中国家，其状况有双重含义：首先我们的状况正在发展和改善。其次，正因为我们的状况仍在发展过程中，因而有些问题的出现是不可避免的，需要得到改进。因为不完善，所以需要发展。

In my view, a country's human rights conditions should be estimated based on whether or not the general public of the country can enjoy political, economic, cultural, educational and subsistence rights. The Chinese people are most eligible to have a say in the issue regarding the human rights situation in China. As China is a developing country, its human rights situation has a two-fold meaning: Firstly, our human rights conditions are developing and improving; and secondly, as they are still in the process of development, some problems unavoidably exist and need improving. As the situation is not perfect, it needs to develop.
