Features: The internationalization of human rights protection is one of the major achievements of the United Nations in promoting world peace and development over the past 50 years, as well as a historical trend in post-war world political and economic development. It reflects the noble ideals of people around the world for generations, pursuing freedom, equality, and peaceful coexistence. Therefore, international human rights protection is a cause of human progress and a goal that governments and people worldwide strive to achieve. Guided by this philosophy, this book elaborates on the process of the internationalization of human rights protection, analyzes the ongoing debates between intervention and non-intervention in this process, examines how neo-interventionism distorts the internationalization of human rights protection, and proposes the Chinese government's stance on international human rights and its policy considerations on neo-interventionism. This undoubtedly offers unique explorations in both theory and practice for China's new international human rights struggles in the 21st century.
