 __**Human Rights of China**__

**//__ I. BACKGROUND __//**
The rights of human beings are a very distinctive concept of our civilized world. They are the source of our daily lives and give us the freedom that we deserve. As cited in Article 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, all people are permitted to rights, “with discrimination...such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status”. All of us are allowed to think what we want, say what we want, and do what we want. All the people are allowed to “ life, liberty, and security of person” (Article 3, Univ. Dec. of Human Rights). The Un also held a World Conference in 1993 that was devoted to human rights. That was when the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, which was passed on June 25, 1993, was ratified to improve rights of the people throughout the world. Even though the UN has set up this document with many rights that should be given to all, most countries of this world are disregarding all or some of the rights, and administering cruel punishments, enforcing child labor, or enslaving people due to their color or race. People feel that human rights are just guidelines, but why can’t we administer them as a universal law? Human rights are one of our greatest privileges, and we ALL are entitled to receive them. The UN has created a special council that is dedicated to human rights, HRC(Human rights council), and the violations of the rules. There are also many treaties that have been created by the UN which prohibit the countries that have signed to treat their people any way that break the treaty. The Universal Declaration of Human rights is additionally a document that the UN has drafted to enforce the rightful treatment of humans everywhere, a document that contains thirty articles that outlines the guides for the rightful treating of the persons. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) was founded in 1993 by the UN, and is a branch that regulates, protects , and promotes all human rights universally. The UN also holds a DPI/NGO conference every year since 1947 that specifically focuses on the reaffirmation of human rights and the enforcement of the Universal Declaration of Human rights. The UN has been an active participator in the non-violation of human rights, but many of the countries do not follow these rules and are ignorant to the treaties that the UN has created, and they are mistreating the people. All the UN can do is guide the countries, but they can’t force a country to follow their rules. __//** III. COUNTRY'S POLICY **//__ China believes that human rights are very important and we respect the fact that they are very important to all the populace. We also realize that we may have a problem with suppressing the rights of our citizens, but we attended the World Conference in 1993, and were present and voted for the Vienna Declarartion and Programme of Action to improve universal human rights. We have also created, at the beginning of 2005, a document called the "Opinions on Several Policies on Further Strengthening Agricultural Work and Enhancing the Comprehensive Agricultural Productive Capability" which intensifies the efforts to decrease agricultural taxes, to give the farmers more income and to guarentee the farmers' rights. We may not be perfect in giving our citizens all the humanrights, but we are improving and taking taking our developing nation forward. // //We believe that this problem can be solved, if we are all willing to work together. We can crate more treaties that will help us to save our birth rights, and help the UN to covince other countries to protect the merits of their citizens. We are, at this time, working to create the T.H.S., or the Trusting Humane Society, a committee that will meet three times a year in Beijing China to discuss human rights violations in the world, such as child soldires and the right to subsistence and development. We should try to help those who's rights have been violated, and give them any assisstance that they may need due to the violations. We might not be the best country for human rights, but we strongly support the enforcement of these rights and we ensure the world that we will improve our own views on human rights, and give our nation the freedom and the rights they deserve.
