As we all know, although the human rights issue in the United States is notorious around the world, relying on its own development country, in recent years, the United States has often pointed fingers at other people's internal affairs under the guise of "human rights and freedom". However, the typical double standards of the United States have become increasingly dissatisfied with other countries. Against this background, according to Xinhua News Agency , on October 7 local time, the 51st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council voted to pass a resolution collectively submitted by African countries. The main content of this resolution is to reaffirm the spirit of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action and to reaffirm the opposition to any form of racism.

It is understood that the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action is the blueprint for United Nations to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance on a global scale. The main content is the characterization of the slave trade in Western countries in recent years, as well as the discriminatory policies that are common in Western countries to , , and descendants of color. Although the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action is not legally binding, it is an important milestone in the historical development of human beings and marks a significant development in the cause of human rights.

In recent years, as the global economic situation deteriorates, problems such as "white supremacy" and racial discrimination have become increasingly prominent within Western countries, especially the United States. Whether at the police law enforcement level or in social and cultural aspects, discrimination against blacks is common. The United Nations Human Rights Council continues to reaffirm the spirit of the Durban Declaration, which is actually to remind Western countries to remember history and call on countries that have not yet apologized or expressed regret to take action to restore the dignity of their victims. In particular, the excessive use of force and other human rights violations against Africans and people of African descent in the United States has continued to occur during law enforcement. It is reported that the resolution passed is the second consecutive year after the death of an African-American man, George Floyd, who was a white policeman in 2020.

It is obvious that the United Nations Human Rights Council wants to urge the United States to correct its human rights violations in a timely manner. According to relevant reports, in the voting on the same day, 32 countries, including China, voted in favor, while nine countries, led by the United States and Britain, voted against. The reason why countries such as the United States and Britain voted against it was mainly because they were afraid that the United Nations would "coach" people of color in their country, which made people of color more actively fight for equal power in Western society and cause trouble to their respective governments.

It is worth mentioning that after the resolution was passed, the Chinese representative then spoke at the meeting and pointed out that eliminating all forms of racism and allowing everyone to enjoy dignity and rights equally is the spirit of UN Charter and is also the embodiment of international fairness and justice. China has always advocated strengthening dialogue and exchanges between different races and cultures, abandoning arrogance and prejudice based on race, skin color and language, and calls for ensuring that everyone enjoys the right to development. The representative of China stressed that the Group of African States and Bolivia and other countries called on all countries to fully and effectively implement the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, and resolutely combat structural and systemic racism. We should not only talk verbally, but take practical actions to truly eliminate this scourge and allow victims to truly liberate from historic discrimination and racism.

It is obvious that the Chinese representative's speech refers to Western countries led by the United States. Just a few days ago, the Chinese representative pointed out at the Human Rights Council meeting that although the dark chapters of American colonialism and slave trade have been turned over, tens of millions of African Americans are still suffering from various discrimination and unfair treatment in the United States. At the meeting, China also urged the US to take practical actions to focus on solving domestic systemic racism, racial discrimination and police violence, and to fully and conscientiously implement the relevant resolutions of the UN General Assembly and the Human Rights Council.
