【新唐人2013年10月10日讯】总部设在美国的人权机构“公民力量”，上个月发起签名活动，呼吁：反对中国再次成为联合国人权理事会成员国。本台记者采访了活动发起人及相关人士，一起来看看。
“联合国人权理事会”设在瑞士日内瓦，今年11月中旬，联合国大会将投票选出新一届的人权理事会成员国。目前，中共已经报名进入新成员的候选名单中。
美国“公民力量”组织发起人杨建利，9月下旬在瑞士巴塞尔，发起了“反对中国再次成为联合国人权理事会成员国”签名活动，截至目前为止，已经超过3000名来自世界各地的华人参与了签名活动。
美国公民力量组织负责人杨建利：“在我们的呼吁书中，我们着重的谈了中国（中共）政府对法轮功的迫害，同时，我们也向联合国提出诉求：要求联合国对长达14年之久的对法轮功的迫害，进行调查，进行系统的调查，而且要公布真相。”
这一活动的另一发起人——美国“哈德逊研究所”研究员韩连朝表示，中国目前的人权状况非常糟糕，中共在人权记录上留下了斑斑劣迹。
美国“哈德逊研究所”研究员韩连朝：“他们对法轮功的迫害，恐怕是前所未有的那么残酷，他们使用了很多酷刑，在很多大大小小的监狱里，抓了非常多的法轮功的成员，他们对法轮功的迫害超过了其他任何迫害。”
联合国大会通过的决议案申明，联合国大会在选举人权理事会成员时，应该根据候选国对推动捍卫人权事业的自觉自愿程度及贡献进行投票，并要求人权理事会成员国“秉持崇高标准促进和捍卫人权”。
人们看到，2006年至2012年，中共在担任联合国人权理事会成员期间，中国不断有异议人士被抓、大量的暴力拆迁、土地掠夺、暴力计生、强迫堕胎、黑监狱、非法软禁、暴力殴打、酷刑、非法限制公民出入境、亲属株连等形式的人权侵犯事件出现。
杨建利：“它（中共）根本没有在国内维护本国人民的人权，而且成为世界上最大的人权侵害国。中国（中共）政府是没有资格坐在联合国人权理事会的殿堂里边，一个国家的政府，如果它在本国不能代表自己的人民，它是一个独裁的政府，它在联合国的表决代表谁的利益呢？联合国以及整个国际社会必须考虑和思考这样的问题”
2011年初，受到埃及和突尼西亚革命的影响，利比亚出现反对卡扎菲统治的示威游行，并很快转化为内战，利比亚的独裁者卡扎菲采取血腥镇压的方式向自己的人民开枪。当卡扎菲屠杀利比亚人民时，曾两次提到了天安门广场屠杀是所谓的“伟大作为”，把中共在天安门的屠杀作为他的榜样。
当年3月1号，联合国大会通过决议，中止利比亚联合国人权理事会成员国资格。这是联大首次中止人权理事会某一成员国的资格。
杨建利：“利比亚政府屠杀自己的人民，利比亚没有资格坐在联合国人权理事会的殿堂里，那么为什么中国（中共）有资格呢﹖”
中共早在1998年10月5号，签署了联合国《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》。但是15年来，这个真正能够为中国人造福的公约根本没有执行。日前，中国境内一百多名学者、作家、律师和公民，联名向中国人大常委会发出公开信，呼吁尽快批准这项公约。
旅美中国人权活动人士刘青：中共在人权方面的一些侵犯迫害,是耸人听闻的, 现在在国际上揭露的中共活摘人体器官,还有杀人贩卖尸体,这类的邪恶罪行甚至超过了当年希特勒、法西斯。”
面对这样一个残暴的独裁政权，以及全球华人的呼声，联合国将如何抉择﹖我们拭目以待。

Chinese People Campaign To Oppose China’s Human Rights Council Membership
Civil Force is a human rights organization based in the US.
In September, it launched a signatory event.
The Signatory event opposes Communist China becoming
a member of UN’s Human Rights Council (HRC) again.
NTD interviewed the organizer of the event.
The UN HRC is based in Geneva, Switzerland.
The UN General Assembly will elect new
members of the council in mid-November.
China is currently seeking a seat at the UN HRC.
Yang Jianli, branch manager of Civil Force branch in the US,
staged a signatory event in Basel, Swizerland in late September.
The Signatory campaign is to oppose
China’s membership into the UN HRC.
More than 3,000 Chinese people from different parts
of the world signed their names.
Yang Jianli: “In the petition letter, we stressed the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong.
Meanwhile, we urged the UN to systematically investigate
the 14-year long persecution of Falun Gong.
We requested the UN to publicize the truth.”
Han Lianchao, co-founder of the event and researcher
at US-based Hudson Institute, said that China’s current
human rights status is very poor, the CCP left a long list
of human rights violations.
Han Lianchao: “The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners
is unprecedented.
Hundreds of brutal torture methods are being used.
They hold millions of Falun Gong practitioners
in many large and small prisons.
The persecution of Falun Gong is more severe
than any other persecution.”
The UN General Assembly resolution states that members
of the General Assembly shall take into account candidates’
contributions to the promotion and protection
of human rights.
Members of the HRC must uphold the highest standards
in the promotion and protection of human rights.
The people noticed that from 2006 to 2012,
during its HRC membership, the Chinese regime abused
many international human rights treaties by repeatedly
arresting dissidents, forcibly demolishing homes,
seizing lands, forced family planning, forced abortion,
holding innocent people in black jails, illegally placing
citizens under surveillance, beating and torturing,
illegally preventing citizens from going abroad,
implicating relatives, and so on.
Yang Jianli: “The CCP didn’t respect its own people’s
human rights, instead, it became the worst human rights
abuser in the world.
The Chinese regime is not qualified to take a seat in HRC.
If a country can’t represent its own people,
it is an authoritarian regime.
Whose interests doest it present at the UN voting?
The UN and international society must consider this problem.”
In early 2011, influenced by Egypt and Tunisia’s revolutions,
Libyans held protest against dictator Gaddafi.
The protest quickly turned into a civil war.
Gaddafi chose to kill its own people
to crack down on the protest.
When he killed its civilians, he twice mentioned
that the Tiananmen Massacre was a “great act.”
The CCP’s Tiananmen Massacre became his model.
On March 1, 2011, the UN General Assembly resolution
removed Libya from HRC.
This was the first time that the UN
suspended a member from the HRC.
Yang Jianli: “Libyan regime killed its own innocent people,
thus Libya was disqualified from HRC.
However, why should the Chinese regime be qualified
for a seat in the HRC?”
On Oct. 5, 1998, the CCP signed the International
Convention of Civil and Political Rights.
It was signed 15 years ago, but the CCP hasn’t ratified it.
Recently, more than 100 Chinese scholars, writers,
and lawyers jointly penned an open letter
to the CCP Standing Committee.
The letter urges the regime to ratify
the international convention immediately.
Liu Qing, US-based activist: “The CCP violation
of human rights is sensational.
Now the world exposed the CCP’s involvement in live organ
harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners, and trafficking their
human bodies, these evil crimes the CCP committed
are worse than Hitler and Fascist’s crimes in the past.”
Facing such a brutal dictatorship and the voice
of Chinese people all over the world, what will
the UN choose?
Only time can tell.
