Kenneth Roth
China’s Global Threat to Human Rights
Human Rights Watch, 2020
What's inside?
China is on a global mission to eradicate international human rights norms.
Recommendation
China has always viewed the international human rights regime with suspicion. Indeed, the country has long framed the concept of human rights itself as a Western imposition and a violation of countries’ rights to sovereignty. But in recent years, China has escalated its ideological opposition to rights enforcement into a full-blown campaign against the principles and institutions upholding international human rights norms. Kenneth Roth, Executive Director of Human Rights Watch, offers a detailed examination of China’s systematic efforts to undermine human rights at home and abroad.
