Book Description
The objective of the study is to analyze Chinese human rights issues in the implementation of obligations in the fields of Chinese national labor laws and the incorporation of international labor law standards in the domestic legal order. The study has undertaken the ways for China to be qualified minimum obligations of the international labor law standards. Later in the chapters, there will be definitions of applicable international conventions and comparisons to Chinese national legislation. Since China hosted the Beijing Olympics 2008, more doors have opened for China to undertake successful transformation of development strategy and political schema. I would like to clarify the main highlights of this research. The main questions that I will point out during the thesis will be the following: ? How does China fit in the existing framework of guiding responsibility followed by international human rights standards? ? How does the International Covenant of Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights obligate China to implement economic and social rights? ? How does the ratification of ICCPR develop human rights under international human rights law? China has already made various levels of changes since 1970s, and my expectation for China will be that they will continuously and dramatically change in term of improvements within the next fifty years. Economic growth can be made within twenty-five years; however, political, legal, and social implementations may take at least a half century. For China, as one of the Asian nations, historical and cultural backgrounds always follow for most of domestic improvements and implementations.

Author: Rana Siu Inboden
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108898319
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Rana Siu Inboden examines China's role in the international human rights regime between 1982 and 2017 and, through this lens, explores China's rising position in the world. Focusing on three major case studies – the drafting and adoption of the Convention against Torture and the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture, the establishment of the UN Human Rights Council, and the International Labour Organization's Conference Committee on the Application of Standards – Inboden shows China's subtle yet persistent efforts to constrain the international human rights regime. Based on a range of documentary and archival research, as well as extensive interview data, Inboden provides fresh insights into the motivations and influences driving China's conduct and explores China's rising position as a global power.

The Costs of International Advocacy
Author: Human Rights Watch (Organization)
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781623135102
Category : Human rights advocacy
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
This report documents interventions by China at the UN that hinder UN efforts to improve human rights in China and around the world. In that sense, it is a case study of how a powerful member state works within the UN system to undermine its ability to strengthen global compliance with international human rights norms. It also examines UN responses to date, offering detailed recommendations on what UN officials and institutions can do to better protect civil society participation at the UN and safeguard the integrity of the UN human rights system. China’s efforts to subvert the UN human rights system also need to be scrutinized because they have been adopted by other countries. China should not become a model for others that hope to hobble or obstruct UN human rights bodies.

Linking Global Trade and Human Rights
Author: Daniel Drache
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139916955
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 407
Book Description
During the global economic crisis of 2008, countries around the world used national policy spaces to respond to the crisis in ways that shed new light on the possibilities for linkages between international trade and human rights. This book introduces the idea of policy space as an innovative way to reframe recent developments in global governance. It brings together a wide-ranging group of leading experts in international law, trade, human rights, political economy, international relations, and public policy who have been asked to reflect on this important development in globalization. Their multidisciplinary contributions provide explanations for the changing global landscape for national policy space, clearly illustrate instances of this change, and project the future paths for policy development in social and economic policy spaces, especially with reference to linkages between international trade and human rights in countries from the Global North as well as Brazil, China, and India.
