BEIJING, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) — China opposes unilateral coercive measures and calls on the international community to strengthen solidarity and cooperation and jointly oppose unilateralism, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Thursday.
December 4th of each year marks the International Day Against Unilateral Coercive Measures. Responding to a question about the risks to the global economy that the continued use of such measures would pose, Lin Jian noted at a regular departmental press conference that unilateral coercive measures violate the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, undermine multilateralism, and the foundations of the rule of international law.
He added that such measures seriously violate fundamental human rights, such as the right to life and the right to development, and impede global development cooperation and the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
China calls on the international community to safeguard the international system with the UN at its core and the international order based on international law, and promote global governance in a more equitable direction, Lin Jian stressed. -0-
