Human rights in China is an important research field that the USALI is actively engaged in. Dr. Yu-Jie Chen, our affiliate scholar and a Global Academic Fellow at Hong Kong University Faculty of Law, has just published an article on “China’s Challenge to the International Human Rights Regime” (NYU Journal of International Law and Politics, vol. 51, no. 4, 2019). The article investigates China’s practice at the U.N. Human Rights Council and the implications for international norms, institutions and politics. It also critically examines the government’s concept of “Human Rights with Chinese Characteristics.” This scholarship is a timely contribution as China’s human rights practice is drawing increasing international attention.”
