First China-Latin America Human Rights Roundtable to Convene in Brazil

On September 10, Rio de Janeiro will host the inaugural China-Latin America and Caribbean States Roundtable on Human Rights. This significant event marks a new chapter in international cooperation on human rights between China and Latin American countries.

The roundtable is being hosted by the China Society for Human Rights Studies (CSHRS) in collaboration with Renmin University of China (RUC) and Brazil’s Fluminense Federal University (UFF). The Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China (RDCY) and the Faculty of Law at Fluminense Federal University (FD-UFF) are organizing the event.

Under the theme “Diversity of Civilization and the Choice of the Path to Realize Human Rights”, the roundtable aims to foster dialogue and share perspectives on human rights development. The event will feature three parallel sessions:

• Contributions of China-Latin American and Caribbean States to the Civilization of Human Rights
• Realization of the Right to Development and Enjoyment of Fundamental Human Rights
• Current Challenges and Solutions for Global Human Rights Governance

More than 120 senior officials, experts, and scholars specializing in human rights from China, Latin America, and the Caribbean will participate. Representatives from social organizations, think tanks, and media are also expected to attend.

The roundtable provides a platform for meaningful exchange on human rights practices and challenges. Participants will discuss how diverse civilizations can contribute to human rights advancements and explore collaborative approaches to address global governance issues.

This gathering reflects the growing importance of China-Latin America relations and underscores a shared commitment to promoting human rights and development. By bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, the event seeks to enhance mutual understanding and foster partnerships that can address common challenges.

For business professionals, academics, and global observers, the roundtable offers insights into the evolving dynamics of international human rights discourse.
