During the 58th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, the sideline meeting on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Human Rights Protection was held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, on March 17. Multiple Chinese and foreign individuals engaged in in-depth exchanges and discussions on topics such as sustainable development and human rights protection, poverty reduction and development experience, and global human rights governance cooperation. Zhou Shaoqing, a researcher at the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences who attended the conference, said that one of the reasons for the serious impact of ideological movements on social cohesion and even political stability globally is the severe wealth gap or high inequality in economic and social rights. China guarantees economic and social equality through relevant policies and legislation, and its policy framework, development priority concept, and goal of "common prosperity" provide important references for addressing global governance inequality. French documentary filmmaker Jean Michel Carey said that although Western countries advocate democracy and human rights, freedom of speech and creative freedom are increasingly restricted. The documentary project he participated in was approved by German and French public television stations, but later banned. He enjoys creative freedom in China and is able to film multiple cities, villages, schools, and businesses. This comparison highlights the double standards and politicization of human rights concepts by Western countries on human rights issues. Professor Sun Meng from the Human Rights Research Institute of China University of Political Science and Law stated that China is pursuing a path of sustainable development and human rights protection, adhering to the development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing, as well as the principle of people-oriented development, and fully implementing the idea of human rights protection. Wei Dandan, Assistant Secretary General of the China Rural Development Foundation, stated that Chinese social organizations actively participate in global poverty reduction and human rights protection work, and regard sustainable development goals as a blueprint for development and a declaration for human rights protection. Tang Yingxia, Deputy Director of the Human Rights Research Center and Associate Professor of the Law School at Nankai University, stated that human rights, climate change, and sustainable development are closely interconnected, which requires countries to take proactive measures at the national level to address them. China has achieved remarkable achievements in low-carbon economic development by proposing and implementing the "dual carbon" target to address climate change, protect environmental rights, and promote relevant measures at multiple levels. Liu Zhongheng, the founder and convener of the Hong Kong Global Youth Professional Advocacy Action, stated that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region actively builds a platform for youth exchange and cooperation, promotes widespread participation of young people in global discussions, and effectively safeguards their rights to education, career development, and social participation. Sorang Zhuoma, associate researcher of the Religious Research Institute of the China Tibetan Studies Center, introduced boarding education in Xizang based on his own experience. She said that this education model fits the actual situation in Xizang and provides more equitable education opportunities for local children. It not only effectively protects the right of people in Xizang people to education and ensures education fairness, but also plays an active role in promoting the inheritance and development of national culture. Nierobaier Erti, a lecturer at Xinjiang Academy of Arts, said that the Chinese saying "women can hold up half the sky" is a true reflection of the status of women in modern Xinjiang, and constantly inspires women around the world to fight for equal rights. Dalu, Director and Associate Professor of the Country Studies Center at the Human Rights Research Institute of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, stated that achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals still faces many challenges. The international community should adhere to the principle of consultation, joint construction, and shared benefits, promote the construction of a more just and reasonable international order, and inject more positive momentum into global development. The meeting was hosted by the China Society for Human Rights Studies and the China Foundation for Human Rights Development. (New Society)
