BookSeries: SIRS Enduring Issues 2003Article 47Human Relations. Publisher: China Rights Forum, 2002ISSN: 1522-3248;.Subject(s): United Nations. Commission on Human Rights | Detention of persons | Freedom of the press -- China | Human rights -- China | Human rights -- International aspects | China -- Politics and governmentDDC classification: 050 Summary: "Since the mid-1970s, contrary to what is often believed even within diplomatic circles, Beijing's strategy has always been to engage the UN human rights machinery instead of simply opposing it. In Andrew Nathan's words, China has looked to 'shape' rather than 'break' the norms that are instruments of the human rights system." (CHINA RIGHTS FORUM) The authors contend "that China has recently been able to subvert and limit some of the most efficient mechanisms for bringing multilateral pressure" on countries with poor human rights records, thereby avoiding criticism and censure by the United Nations.
