CGTN published this video item, entitled “The Point: Global perspective on the definition of human rights” – below is their description.
As we near the end of 2021 and look at the progress so far, the causes for concern seem greater than the causes for celebration. The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified uneven global development and the rift between rich and poor. When poverty threatens progress, what happens to human rights? And how do countries at different stages of development understand human rights?
