China and WHO
This essay was written for the Model United Nations (MUN) application at the American School of Doha, Qatar, by Hossein Moshfeghian in the 01-02 schoolyear. The debate over China's human rights violation has been an ongoing issue in the international communities for the past decade. One way to show the international community's disapproval of the human rights violations in China that comes to mind would be to prevent it from joining international organizations, such as the World Health Organization. However, due to the nature and role of the World Health Organization, and the nature of Chinese politics, government, and social atmosphere, I strongly recommend China's acceptance to the World Health Organization, despite the country's supposed human rights violations. The following support my argument. First, the situation of human rights in China needs to be examined. According to the US Department of State, The People's Republic of China (PRC) is an authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the paramount source of power. At the national and regional levels, party members hold almost all top government, police, and military positions. Ultimate authority rests with members of the Politburo. Leaders stress
the need to maintain stability and social order and are committed to perpetuating the rule of the CCP and its hierarchy. Citizens lack the freedom to express peacefully opposition to the party-led political system and the right to change their national leaders or form of government. This view is shared by most western nations and many other countries throughout the world. Even assuming this view to be completely factual and accurate still does not justify a refusal to admit China into the World Health Organization. Therefore, foreign pressures such as preventing China from joining WHO will not benefit the people of China, whose basic civil and human rights are being violated. They will only cause resentment and friction between the western nations and the government of China. I believe that China should be admitted to the World Health Organization, but at the same time the members should issue a statement reminding the Chinese government that it needs to alter it's internal human rights policies. The World Health Organization is a special agency of the United Nations with a goal of improving the level of health of all people worldwide. It was established for the benefit of humans aroun
