【环球时报综合报道】正在瑞士日内瓦召开的联合国人权理事会国别人权审查工作组第17届会议当地时间22日对中国人权状况进行第二轮审查。“唇枪舌剑”,《洛杉矶时报》23日发文称,在3个小时的讨论会上,中国为本国人权纪录辩护,遭到西方国家和人权团体的质疑。在此前一天的会议上,沙特也遭西方国家轮番指责。不过也有报道称,美国在指责其他国家之前应该先审视自己的问题,国际人权组织本周发布的报告显示,美国在多国进行的无人机轰炸行动导致大量无辜平民死亡。中国外交部发言人华春莹23日表示,在审查会上共有137个国家发言,绝大多数国家都充分肯定中国在经济社会发展、民主法治建设、特殊群体权利保障、开展国际人权合作等领域取得的显著进步,支持中国根据本国国情进一步促进和保护人权。
联合国人权理事会国别人权审查工作组第17届会议于10月21日至11月1日在日内瓦举行,本次会议审议沙特阿拉伯、塞内加尔、中国等15国人权状况。“中国承认人权缺陷”,“美国之音”23日以此为题发文称,多年来,西方政府、人权组织和中国异见人士一直谴责北京侵犯人权和自由。周二在日内瓦的联合国人权会议上,中国政府的报告显露出某些言辞上的软化。出席会议的中国代表团团长、外交部特使吴海龙首先介绍中国人权事业发展情况,称2009年中国接受首轮审查时做出的承诺已基本实现,首轮审查时接受的42条建议,包括继续提高人民生活质量、加大扶贫力度等,都已经并正在继续得到落实。他表示,一国的人权保障水平不能脱离其经济社会发展阶段。中国人口众多、资源有限的基本国情和所处的发展阶段,决定了中国必须将保障13亿多人民的生存权和发展权作为首要任务。“在人权问题上没有最好,只有更好。促进和保护人权,没有完成时,只有进行时。”吴海龙说,中国在促进和保护人权方面仍面临许多困难和挑战,发展中不平衡、不协调、不可持续问题依然突出。扶贫对象规模仍十分庞大。司法领域依然存在不公现象,执法人员人权意识和依法行政水平仍需提高。
路透社22日称,就在联合国审查中国人权会议开始前几个小时,几名“西藏活动分子”在会议大楼外张开条幅,称“中国破坏西藏人权”,要“联合国支持西藏”。报道称,联合国保安人员拘禁了这4名来自丹麦和英国的活动分子。西方国家在会上对中国的人权状况展开轮番批评。美国国务院负责民主、人权和劳工事务的代理助理国务卿泽雅称关注中国“压制集会、宗教和言论自由,骚扰、拘禁和惩罚活动分子,将目标对准人权分子的家人和朋友,实施破坏少数民族人权的政策。”德国、瑞士等也表示关注。对此,吴海龙表示,一些针对中国的指责是基于误解和偏见。中国的少数民族得到了公平对待。中国政府的重点是要减少贫困。现在中国有将近1亿人生活在贫困之中,一些人甚至缺吃少穿,如果不能为穷人提供温饱,就会产生大问题。英国大使皮尔斯则呼吁中国进一步减少死刑数量。一名中国外交官表示,中国政府继续保留死刑,但在实际实施中严格控制。
审查会上,沙特的人权状况也遭到质疑。据福克斯新闻网报道,在21日的会议上,美国、英国、加拿大等对沙特压制妇女、同性恋者人权、限制宗教自由提出批评。报道称,“西方国家对中国和沙特的批评遭到它们支持者的反对,包括土耳其、索马里、巴基斯坦、埃及等”。美国《守卫者快报》23日发文称,当美国代表指责中国时,也必须面对人权组织对自己的批评。“大赦国际”和“人权观察”本周发布的报告对美国无人机行动的合法性提出质疑,称已确认其中至少33次行动导致平民伤亡。奥巴马政府在也门和巴基斯坦进行的轰炸行动造成大量伤亡,可能“违反国际法”,“开创了一国可以为非法杀戮逃脱责任的危险先例”。报道称,美国在2010年接受过联合国人权审查,当时人权理事会建议美国在增加社会公平、减少种族歧视上作出改进。
联合国人权理事会共47个成员,由联大秘密投票产生,候选国必须获得联大全体成员国的过半数支持方能当选。11月12日,联合国大会将投票改选人权理事会的14个成员席位,中国、沙特、俄罗斯等将参加角逐。理事会成员每届任期3年,最多可连任一次。联大每年改选1/3左右的成员。经2/3成员国同意,联大可中止严重违反人权国家的人权理事会成员国资格。
