	Human Rights - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Human rights refers to legal and ethical standards of behavior and principles of entitlement that have acquired, within the political and legal system of a country or of multilateral institutions, a status of enhanced expectation of compliance due to their essential importance in achieving justice within that society.
		Rights may also be non-derogable (not limited in times of National Emergency)—these often include the right to life, the right to be prosecuted only according to the laws that are in existence at the time of the offence, the right to be free from slavery, and the right to be free from torture.
		Human rights are typically divided into two categories: negative human rights (rights to be free from) and positive (rights to) although other categorisations exist.

	Human rights in China (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The U.S. State Department's annual People's Republic of China human rights reports have noted the PRC's well-documented abuses of human rights in violation of internationally recognized norms, stemming both from the authorities' intolerance of dissent and the inadequacy of legal safeguards for basic freedoms.
		At the same time, mainland China's economic growth and reform since 1978 has improved dramatically the lives of hundreds of millions of Chinese, increased social mobility and expanded the scope of personal freedom.
		However, the United States and western human rights groups assert that there has been virtually no movement on these promises, and that the PRC still has a long way to go in instituting the kind of fundamental systemic change that will protect the rights and liberties of all its citizens.

		China is an authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the paramount source of power.

	Human Rights in China (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The polarization of human rights issues in U.S.-Chinese relations often obscures the fact that both the Chinese state and society are in a process of incremental but remarkable change, which has afforded ordinary citizens unprecedented personal freedom, although it doesn't promise an immediate transition to democracy.
		Human rights advocacy is inclined to take the pulse of societies under authoritarian rule on a daily basis.
		U.S. policymakers and human rights groups tend to champion a few Chinese individuals outside the system who articulate Western values on democracy and human rights, in the belief that they are the future leaders of a more democratic China.

	Human Rights Watch: Asia : China and Tibet
		China’s government, through a series of Party policies and government regulations, including the March 1, 2005 “Regulations on Religious Affairs,” sharply curtails both freedom of religious belief and the freedom to express one’s belief.
		The Chinese government is directing a crushing campaign of religious repression against China’s Muslim Uighurs in the name of anti-separatism and counter-terrorism, Human Rights Watch and Human Rights in China said in a new report today.
		The Commission on Human Rights should adopt a resolution condemning China for violations of rights to free expression, association and assembly, religion and belief; for repression of minorities in Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia; and for continuing rights abuses related to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

		A better approach is to continue to open China to the outside world and, at the same time, use non-trade sanctions and diplomacy to advance human rights.
		When China violates trade agreements or intellectual property rights, however, it should be held accountable, and carefully targeted trade sanctions may be warranted.

		Although legal reforms continued, there was backsliding on key human rights issues during the year, including arrests of individuals discussing sensitive subjects on the Internet, health activists, labor protesters, defense lawyers, journalists, house church members, and others seeking to take advantage of the space created by reforms.
		Citizens did not have the right peacefully to change their government, and many who openly expressed dissenting political views were harassed, detained, or imprisoned.
		Criminal punishments could include "deprivation of political rights" for a fixed period after release from prison, during which the individual is denied the limited rights of free speech and association granted to other citizens.

		The State Department's annual human rights report on China is part of a larger requirement mandated by Congress for the Department to report on the human rights of every country that is a member of the United Nations.
		The format follows the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; although the focus has traditionally been on political and civil rights in the reports, increasingly cultural and social rights are monitored as well.
		It is important to separate human rights advocacy from the human rights record of individual countries.

		China's laws restricting contact with foreign coreligionists, prohibiting parents from exposing children under the age of 18 to religion, and outlawing nongovernment-controlled churches violate the UN Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief.
		Few legal safeguards exist in China to ensure fair trials, and the judicial system is controlled at every level by CCP political-legal committees that may determine the outcome of cases before the court hears evidence presented at trial.
		Legal scholars within China have called for an end to this widespread practice of "verdict first, trial second." With the political-legal committees exercising extensive control, detainees are highly unlikely to receive fair, impartial hearings that are free from official manipulation.

		Denying China normal trading status, in order to penalize its leaders for human rights violations, would be counter-productive to the values this country stands for.
		Although much remains to be done in China to protect individual rights, isolating China from the West would be disastrous.
		A more constructive way to change China, says Li, is to involve private enterprise in the process of bringing about greater personal freedom.

		Human rights, especially economic and social rights, are, according to human rights lawyer Katarina Toma_evski (1996: 104), to act as correctives to the free market.

		The Government's violation of internationally accepted human rights norms stemmed from the authorities' extremely limited tolerance of public dissent, fear of unrest, and the limited scope or inadequate implementation of laws protecting basic freedoms.
		The human rights situation in Tibet and in some ethnically Tibetan regions outside Tibet also remained poor, and the Government continued to impose restrictions on some forms of religious practice (see Tibet Addendum).
