The Research On Developing Countries' Participation In The Construction Of International Human Rights Norms

With the end of the Second World War and the establishment of the United Nations,the process of internationalization of human rights began to take off,and human rights issues have gradually entered the vision of the international community and become one of the important international issues.Up to now,international human rights norms are becoming more comprehensive,rational and inclusive.In the process of the development of these norms,developing countries have played a key role in participating in and promoting the construction of international human rights norms.In the past,the research on the construction of international human rights norms has been characterized by fragmentation and has obvious "Western Centralism" inclination.However,the status of developing countries is often neglected or even distorted and relevant studies are often difficult to form systematic research or overemphasize the participation of developing countries in the construction of international human rights norms.Therefore,this paper attempts to analyze the process of developing countries participating in the construction of international human rights norms in the past decades from a more comprehensive and objective perspective,and to explore the developing country groups in commonalities and differences in the process in order to define the basic position of developing countries to participate in international human rights norms in a more rational and objective perspective,so that the commonalities and differences in the process could further define the basic positions of developing countries in participating in international human rights norms.In this dissertation,by studying the two levels of developing countries as a whole and regional developing country groups,the roles and processes of developing countries' participation in international human rights norms could be analyzed.The main research goal of this paper is to compare regional human rights mechanisms in developing countries to find out the similarities and differences of the these mehcanism,so as to seek the commonalities and differences of developing countries in the field of human rights and to clarify the basic status and major issues of developing countries 'participation in international human rights governance.Based on the above research objectives,the main research ideas of this paper are as follows: First of all,on the premise of taking developing countries as the overall research object,this paper clarifies the overall background of developing countries' participation in the construction of international human rights norms through the division of different stages,which clearly clarifies the overall role change of developing countries in participating in international human rights norms,especially the transition from passive acceptance to active participation and active transformation of roles.The research above would provide an important realistic background of the regional human rights mechanism construction in various regions of developing countries.Secondly,by focusing on the existing human rights protection mechanisms of the three developing country regions or subregions,the paper aims to explore the specific process of the development of them,and to analyze the specific structure and effectiveness of these mechanism.At the same time,we will separately analyze and analyze the relatively significant problems or characteristics of each region,so as to highlight the characteristics of the region in the process of building regional human rights mechanisms,such as the huge gap in the concept and practice of human rights issues in Latin American countries and the severe extraterritorial impacts they have suffered,the importance of traditional culture and values in Africa to the construction of human rights mechanisms in the region,as well as the significant manifestation of traditional norms of ASEAN regional sovereignty and non-interference in regional human rights mechanisms.Finally,the paper would seek differences in the context of clear common ground,mainly through the status of ratification of international core human rights conventions by developing countries,the specific definition of rights in different regional human rights instruments,the composition,functions and effectiveness of regional human rights protection institutions,and the network of regional national human rights institutions.In the study of these four aspects,it can be found that there are significant differences between developing countries in terms of human rights concepts and practices.Although this difference will gradually be bridged in the future development process of the human rights mechanism,these differences existing among the groups of developing countries should still be fully recognized.Because they have important reference significance for developing countries to integrate the group power and to fully expresses their reasonable demands in the field of international human rights.In a word,differences do not mean gaps.A reasonable set of international human rights governance systems does not in any way mean that countries need to achieve a high degree of consistency at the regional level of human rights protection.However,it must be realized that in the promotion and protection of human rights,the European regional human rights protection mechanism represented by the European Court of Human Rights has clearly gone to the forefront of regional human rights mechanisms from the operational mechanism and practical effectiveness after its reform.The regional human rights mechanism of developing countries needs to further improve the existing regional human rights mechanisms at the conceptual and institutional level on the basis of mutual learning,so as to promote and protect human rights in the region more effectively.However,on certain issues,developing countries still need to adhere to their previous positions,especially the refusal of politicization of human rights and of the adoption of double standards on human rights issues.Ultimately the developing countries need to promote the unique human rights voices of developing countries as well as push the international human rights governance system into in a more fair,rational,objective,non-selective,non-confrontational and people-oriented direction.
