八、推动世界人权事业发展
VIII. Advancing the International Cause of Human Rights
新中国成立后，中国在不断推进自身人权事业的同时，积极支持广大发展中国家摆脱殖民统治、实现民族独立、消除种族隔离的正义事业，努力提升发展中国家的发展能力、提供发展援助、进行人道主义援助，在维护世界和平与发展、推动国际人权事业发展进步等方面作出了重要贡献。
Since the founding of the PRC, in addition to advancing the human rights of its people, China has earnestly supported the just cause of other developing countries to break free from colonial rule, achieve national independence, and eradicate racial segregation. It has helped them to build up their capacity for development, and provided them with development assistance and humanitarian relief. These are great contribution to safeguarding world peace and development and furthering the international cause of human rights.
助力发展中国家经济社会发展。中国注重推动广大发展中国家人民生存权、发展权的实现，长期在基础设施及教育、卫生、农业等领域向亚洲、非洲、拉丁美洲等的发展中国家和地区提供支援和帮助。中国在提供国际援助时，坚持不附带任何政治条件、不干涉受援国内政，始终做到相互尊重、平等对待、重信守诺。1963年，中国首次派出援外医疗队，截至2019年8月，已累计派遣医疗队员2.6万人次，诊治患者2.8亿人次。1964年，中国政府宣布以平等互利、不附带条件为核心的对外经济技术援助八项原则，确立了中国开展对外援助的基本方针，在工业、农业、教育、医疗、公共设施等各部门、各领域广泛开展对外援助。中国同多个发展中国家建立了经济技术合作关系，援建了坦赞铁路、毛里塔尼亚友谊港、中非友谊医院、老挝琅勃拉邦医院、斯里兰卡纪念班达拉奈克国际会议大厦、埃及开罗国际会议中心、肯尼亚国际体育中心、坦桑尼亚国家体育场等一批重大基础设施。近年来，中国国家主席习近平等党和国家领导人多次在国际场合宣布系列重大对外援助倡议和举措。中国多次主动免除与中国有外交关系的最不发达国家、重债穷国、内陆发展中国家、小岛屿发展中国家的债务。
Supporting economic and social development in other developing countries. To help the peoples of developing countries to realize their rights to subsistence and development, China has long provided assistance to other developing countries and regions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America in such fields as infrastructure, education, healthcare and agriculture. When providing international aid, China never imposes political conditions, nor does it interfere in the internal affairs of recipient countries. It always stands by the rules of mutual respect, each party treating the other as an equal, and keeping its commitments.
In 1963, China dispatched its first international medical aid team. By August 2019, it had dispatched 26,000 medical workers on aid missions abroad, who have treated 280 million patients. In 1964, the Chinese government announced the eight principles for foreign economic and technical aid, setting its basic policy for international assistance: these focus on equality and mutual benefit, and no conditions are attached. It has since provided international assistance that covers all sectors of economy and all fields of society, including industry, agriculture, education, medical care, and infrastructure. China has established partnerships for economic and technological cooperation with many developing peers, and helped build a significant number of infrastructure projects in these countries. Among them are the Tanzania-Zambia Railway, the Friendship Port in Mauritania, the Friendship Hospital in Central African Republic, the Luang Prabang Hospital in Laos, the Bandaranaike Memorial International Convention Hall in Sri Lanka, the Cairo International Conference Center in Egypt, the Moi International Sports Center in Kenya, and the National Stadium of Tanzania.
In recent years, President Xi and other CPC and government leaders have announced a raft of major foreign aid initiatives and measures at international events. In addition, they have offered multiple rounds of debt exemption for countries that have diplomatic relations with China – the least developed countries, heavily indebted poor countries, landlocked developing countries, and small island developing countries.
着力提升其他发展中国家发展能力。20世纪50年代开始资助其他发展中国家学生来华学习，帮助亚洲和非洲国家建设普通和技术院校，60年代开始向发展中国家派遣援外教师，70年代至80年代以接收留学生的方式专门为受援国培养中高级技术和管理人才。近年来，中国先后设立南南合作援助基金、南南合作与发展学院、金砖国家经济技术合作交流计划等，通过举办培训、外派管理人员和技术专家、提供奖学金等方式，帮助其他发展中国家培养人才。为支持全球妇女事业发展，2015年，习近平主席在全球妇女峰会上宣布，邀请3万名发展中国家妇女来华参加培训，并在当地为发展中国家培训10万名女性技术人员。中国发起成立亚洲基础设施投资银行、丝路基金，与其他金砖国家共同发起成立新开发银行等国际金融机构，充分借助上海合作组织、金砖国家等机制的带动作用，提出共商共建共享“一带一路”倡议，与沿线国家或地区达成合作项目，主动分享发展机遇和经验，为增进各国民生福祉作出新贡献。
Helping other developing countries to build up their capacity for development. In the 1950s, China began to provide funds to people of other developing countries to study in China, and to help African and other Asian countries to build regular and technical schools. In the early 1960s, it began to dispatch teachers to other developing countries. In the 1970s and 1980s, it began to cultivate senior and mid-level technicians and managers for its aid targets by admitting their students. In recent years, China has set up the Assistance Fund for South-South Cooperation and the Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development, and launched an economic and technical cooperation plan for BRICS countries. By providing training courses, dispatching managerial and technical professionals, and offering scholarships, it helps other developing countries to cultivate talent. In support of women's development worldwide, President Xi announced at the 2015 Global Summit of Women that China would invite 30,000 women from other developing countries to attend training in China, and would train another 100,000 female technicians in their countries. China initiated the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Silk Road Fund. It also worked with other BRICS countries and established the New Development Bank and some other international financial institutions. While fully relying on mechanisms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and BRICS, it has proposed the Belt and Road Initiative featured with extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits. Through cooperation projects with countries or regions along the routes of the Belt and Road, China shares its development opportunities and experience and thereby contributes more to improving the wellbeing of their peoples.
积极开展人道主义援助。中国的人道主义援助对象和规模不断扩大，同时，中国始终恪守反对人道主义干涉的原则，从不干涉被援助国内政，充分尊重当地人文环境和风俗习惯。中国积极参与联合国机构主导的国际人道主义活动，1979年加入联合国儿童基金会、世界粮食计划署，恢复了在联合国难民署执委会的活动，并多次向其捐款捐物。2004年中国建立人道主义紧急救灾援助应急机制，向朝鲜、孟加拉国等国提供粮食等人道主义物资援助；向东南亚国家提供防治禽流感技术援助；就几内亚比绍蝗灾和霍乱，墨西哥甲型H1N1流感，非洲埃博拉、黄热病、鼠疫等传染病疫情，尼泊尔、日本、伊朗、海地、智利、厄瓜多尔、墨西哥地震，马达加斯加、美国卡特里娜、加勒比有关国家飓风，菲律宾超强台风海燕，印度洋海啸、印度尼西亚巽他海啸，马来西亚、缅甸、巴基斯坦洪灾，老挝水电站溃坝，智利山火等提供物资、现汇或人员等人道主义援助。在2011年利比亚撤侨行动中，中国协助亚洲、欧洲12个国家撤离约2100名外国公民。在2015年也门撤侨行动中，中国协助亚洲、非洲、欧洲、美洲15个国家撤离279名外国公民。
Providing humanitarian relief. Over the past years, China's humanitarian relief has increased, and the number of recipients has grown steadily. Throughout this process, China adheres to the principle of opposition to any interference under the pretext of humanitarianism. It never meddles in the internal affairs of recipient countries, and fully respects their culture and customs. China takes an active part in international humanitarian relief initiatives launched by UN organizations. In 1979, it joined the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund and World Food Program, and resumed its activities in the Executive Committee of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). It has since made many donations to the UNHCR.
In 2004, China launched an emergency mechanism for urgent international humanitarian relief, under which it has provided relief to many countries. This relief includes food and other material assistance to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Bangladesh, and technical aid to Southeast Asian countries to combat avian influenza. It also covers funding, personnel, and in-kind support to fight diseases and natural disasters:
• in Guinea-Bissau against locust plague and cholera;
• in Mexico against A/H1N1 flu;
• in Africa against Ebola, yellow fever, plague and other infectious diseases;
• in Nepal, Japan, Iran, Haiti, Chile, Ecuador and Mexico against earthquakes;
• in Madagascar and the Caribbean countries against hurricanes;
• in the US against Hurricane Katrina;
• in the Philippines against Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda);
• in the Indian Ocean countries against tsunami;
• in Indonesia against 2018 Sunda Strait Tsunami;
• in Malaysia, Myanmar and Pakistan against floods;
• in Laos against a dam collapse in 2018;
• in Chile against mountain fires.
China assisted 12 Asian and European countries to extract about 2,100 of their citizens in its evacuation operation from Libya in 2011, and again helped 15 Asian, African, European, and American countries to extract 279 of their citizens in the evacuation operation from Yemen in 2015.
努力维护世界和平与安全。作为和平共处五项原则的积极倡导者和坚定实践者，中国不仅自身积极奉行和平外交思想、注重与各国和平共处，而且积极倡导共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观，致力于推动南南合作和南北对话，努力缩小南北差距。中国在巴勒斯坦问题、伊朗核问题、朝鲜半岛问题、叙利亚问题等重大国际、地区热点问题上积极建言献策、身体力行，呼吁各方冷静克制，以政治外交等手段和平解决争端。中国积极参与国际执法安全合作，在联合国、国际刑警组织、上海合作组织等国际和地区组织框架下加强合作，打击一切恐怖主义、分裂主义、极端主义犯罪和毒品犯罪。中国自1990年起参加联合国维和行动，是联合国安理会常任理事国中派出维和人员最多的国家，也是联合国维和行动第二大出资国。截至2018年5月，中国已累计向苏丹、黎巴嫩、柬埔寨、利比亚等国家和地区派出维和军事人员3.7万余人次，先后派出维和警察2700余人次，参加了约30项联合国维和行动。
Safeguarding world peace and security. An active advocate and a faithful practitioner of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, China pursues a foreign policy of peace and peaceful coexistence with all countries, and is also a firm advocate of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security. It is committed to advancing South-South cooperation and North-South dialogue, and to narrowing the South-North gap. China has put forward proposals and initiatives and made concrete efforts to address many major international and regional flashpoints, such as the Palestinian issue, the Iranian nuclear issue, the Korean Peninsula issue, and the Syrian issue. It calls for all parties concerned to stay calm, exercise restraint, and solve disputes by political and diplomatic means.
China is also active in international cooperation on law enforcement and security. It has intensified cooperation under the framework of international and regional organizations, including the UN, the International Criminal Police Organization, and SCO, to combat terrorism, separatism, extremism, and drug-related crimes. China began to participate in UN peacekeeping operations in 1990. It now ranks first among the permanent members of the UN Security Council in terms of the number of peacekeepers dispatched, and is the second largest donor country to UN peacekeeping operations. By May 2018, China had sent more than 37,000 military and more than 2,700 police personnel to participate in about 30 UN peacekeeping missions in Sudan, Lebanon, Cambodia, Libya, and other countries and regions.
