论“人权高于主权”的本质

“人权高于主权”是西方国家新干涉主义的重要理论基础。这一理论的主要错误在于歪曲了人权与主权的关系，夸大了个人在国际社会中的地位。就美国来说，搞人权外交由来已久。然而，90年代以来，“人权高于主权”论广为传播却有着深刻的国际政治经济背景。“人权高于主权”论的直接目的在于为干涉别国内政制造理论依据，逃避干涉别国内政的责任，服务于它们既定的国际战略目标。

On the Essence of “Human Rights above Sovereignty”

“Human rights above sovereignty” is the important theoretical foundation of the western countries' new interventionism. The theory is a fallacy in that it distorts the relationship between human rights and sovereignty and exaggerates individuals' role in the international cemmunity. As to the United States, it has carried on human rights diplomacy for a long time. However, the theory of “human rights above sovereignty” has been widespread since 1990s, with a profound background of international politics and economy. The theory of “human rights above sovereignty” is directly intended as a theory for interfering in other countries' internal affairs, avoiding the responsibility of doing it for the western countries' existing international strategic objectives.
