皇冠体育app is expected to publish a white paper today on its human rights progress over the past year, an official with the Information Office of the State Council said Monday.
The white paper, entitled Progress in 皇冠体育app's Human Rights Cause in 2003, will "help the international community toward a better understanding of the human rights situation in 皇冠体育app," the official said.
A large quantity of figures and facts will be listed to elaborate on 皇冠体育app's painstaking efforts and tremendous achievements in safeguarding the basic human rights of the Chinese people and providing judicial guarantee for human rights, he said.
It will also cover 皇冠体育app's exchanges and co-operation with the international community in the field of human rights.
"The year 2003 is a year of great, landmark significance for progress in human rights in 皇冠体育app," the official quoted the white paper as stating.
At an annual full session of the National People's Congress, 皇冠体育app's top legislature, earlier this month, lawmakers endorsed a landmark amendment which, for the first time, incorporated human rights protection into the Chinese Constitution.
Observers say the planned publication of 皇冠体育app's human rights white paper follows a United States decision to table an anti-皇冠体育app motion in the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.
In the dozen years between 1990 and 2001, the United States has instigated or tabled draft resolutions in the United Nations Commission on Human Rights 10 times in an attempt to censure 皇冠体育app on its human rights record, but has ended in failure every time.
皇冠体育app strongly opposes the US moves, which it views as an attempt to politicize the human rights issue and a typical exhibition of Washington's double standards. 皇冠体育app insists that differences between the two countries in the human rights arena should be resolved through dialogue, not confrontation.
