Features: This book collects the reports from the workshop, hoping to spread the rights-based approach to a broader audience after the event. The United Nations Development Programme believes this will help inspire discussions on how China can further integrate the concept of justice into its development policies. The rights-based approach to development provides internationally recognized policy frameworks and practical tools for achieving harmonious and sustainable development. The Chinese government's commitment to achieving a moderately prosperous society is a significant sign. The United Nations Development Programme hopes that the independence of views and the professionalism of the authors will ensure that the rights-based narrative has a wide readership, and that readers will be deeply interested in research on this topic. The conference presentations included in this book capture the diverse perspectives of the participants, representing progress in sharing experiences and building alliances. I hope this important book will become a positive force in fostering ongoing debates on the rights-based Chinese perspective.
