As the United Nations marks its 80th anniversary in 2025, the 59th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on Tuesday adopted by consensus a resolution titled "The contribution of development to the enjoyment of all human rights," co-sponsored by China and 40-plus other countries. This is the first time since the resolution in 2017 that it has been adopted by consensus without a vote, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Tuesday. 

Chen Xu, permanent representative of China to the United Nations Office at Geneva and other international organizations in Switzerland, said the resolution reaffirms the vital role of development in ensuring the enjoyment of all human rights, highlights the importance of people-centered, high-quality development in meeting the growing aspirations for a better life and in advancing the full realization of human rights.

Chen expressed hope that the resolution would foster greater consensus and encourage all countries to work with China in prioritizing the future of humanity and the well-being of all nations, revitalizing genuine multilateralism, pursuing high-quality development, and promoting and safeguarding all human rights. 

The resolution reflects the shared aspirations of many developing countries. It was jointly sponsored by 40-plus nations, including Cameroon and Pakistan. Representatives from countries such as Cuba, Bolivia, Ethiopia, and Kenya voiced strong support, noting that the resolution will help raise global awareness of the role of development in promoting human rights and further the cause of human rights protection through sustainable development.

Following its adoption, many countries, including Russia, Brazil, Chile, and the European Union, extended congratulations to China. They recognized China's leadership in advancing the agenda of development-driven human rights at the UNHRC and commended its constructive engagement in crafting a more balanced and impactful resolution text, which has garnered wide recognition and broad international support.
