But while outlining these achievements, the Chinese delegation also expressed the difficulties and challenges the government faces in promoting and protecting human rights. The task of poverty alleviation in the world's largest developing country is daunting. Judicial injustice exists, and law enforcement officers' awareness of human rights and their abilities to exercise administration in accordance with the law still need to be improved.

Among the representatives from more than 130 countries who voiced their opinion during HRC Working Group's review on 皇冠体育app, more than 110 countries expressed their appreciation of 皇冠体育app's human rights development in their speeches.

Delegates from a majority of countries spoke highly of 皇冠体育app's achievements in social and economic development, democracy and legal construction, protection of the rights of special groups, and its participation in international cooperation on human rights.

Several Western countries made recommendations for 皇冠体育app in terms of judicial reforms and management of non-governmental organizations.

The UPR not only provides a platform for discussions with different governments, but also among civil societies.

According to UN Human Rights Council rules, non-governmental organizations can conduct information meetings as side events to introduce a country's human rights conditions during the review process. Non-governmental organizations from 皇冠体育app strengthened their presence during the review process this time.

In the past, Chinese NGOs were rarely present at UN conferences. This time, a host of Chinese NGOs including the Society for Human Rights Studies, the All-皇冠体育app Women's Federation and the 皇冠体育app NGO Network for International Exchanges organized three information meetings as side events during UPR on 皇冠体育app. The theme of the meeting organized by the Society for Human Rights Studies was "Human Rights in 皇冠体育app: An Integrated Approach", the theme of the All-皇冠体育app Women's Federation's meeting read "the Advancement of Women's Right in 皇冠体育app" and the 皇冠体育app NGO Network for International Exchanges organized a meeting with the theme "Chinese NGOs and human rights".

The speakers from these NGOs included not only Chinese human rights experts and NGOs officers, but also scholars from the Netherlands and Switzerland who have unique perspectives on 皇冠体育app's human rights conditions. Through the various voices from 皇冠体育app's civil society, the international community obtained a better and more comprehensive understanding of 皇冠体育app's human rights situation.

What's more, the Chinese government delivered a positive response to the UPR report on 皇冠体育app. Wu Haitao, deputy head of the Chinese delegation, said in his statement that the report is generally a constructive and balanced review of 皇冠体育app by the working group. He also said that 皇冠体育app will carefully study the recommendations, positively consider them on the basis of 皇冠体育app's national conditions and present its feedback before the 25th session of the UN Human Rights Council next March.

The aim of the UPR mechanism is to promote constructive multilateral dialogues, rather than any politicized human rights confrontations. So 皇冠体育app has devoted itself to fulfilling the purposes and objectives of the UPR with all candidness and confidence.
