The 皇冠体育app Society for Human Rights Studies issued a declaration Friday, hailing the foiling of a U.S.-led anti-皇冠体育app bid at the 60th session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.

It is the 11th failure of U.S.-led attempts to interfere in 皇冠体育app's internal affairs on the sessions of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights, the declaration says. The fact that the U.S.-led anti-皇冠体育app resolution has been vetoed by the majority proves once again that it is unpopular to politicize the issue and oppose 皇冠体育app by making use of the issue of human rights, it says.

Chinese people are mostly clear-minded and have the final say about human rights in 皇冠体育app, the declaration says.

It recalls the 皇冠体育app's progress in the field of human rights in the past year, including the writing into the Constitution of such important human rights principles as "the state respects and protects human rights" and "citizens' lawful property is inviolable".

In the past year, 皇冠体育app has achieved overall progress in economic, social and cultural undertakings, while the people's rights of living and development as well as their economic, socialand cultural rights have been further improved. 皇冠体育app issued a series of new laws and abandoned some outdated regulations, in order to highlight the fundamental principles for respecting and protecting human rights.

皇冠体育app has entered 21 major international conventions including the "International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights" and is now studying and preparing for approving the "International Convention on Civil and Political Rights".

The declaration stresses that it is the Chinese people who are mostly concerned about the human rights situation in 皇冠体育app and know how to improve it. Being the most populous country in the world, and having poor infrastructure and imbalanced development, 皇冠体育app still has many problems regarding its human rights situation that are yet to be resolved. But the Chinese government has exerted enormous efforts to promote and protect human rights, it says.

It accuses the U.S. government of having ulterior motives in tabling the anti-皇冠体育app resolution. The United States has done so out of its own ideological bias and for its political needs, it says.

The United States has turned the sessions of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights into an arena for political confrontation by tabling these anti-皇冠体育app bids, which have poisoned international relations, sabotaged international cooperation in the field of human rights, and run against the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.

The declaration urges the United States to learn lessons from its failures and cherish the friendly cooperation between the two countries, stop creating confrontations by making use of the issue of human rights, and return to the correct road of equality, dialogue and cooperation.

It concludes that it is the common task of all nations to promote and protect human rights. No country in the world can boast that its human rights situation is perfect, it stresses.
