Masters of Institute for Human Rights visited the New Zealand Embassy in China

On November 13, 2018, Institute for Human Rights of China University of Political Science and Law organized 2018 Master Students visit the New Zealand Embassy in China. They consulted the staff of the Embassy on the internship program of the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, and had a deep discussion about the development of human rights in China and New Zealand.


At 15:00 in the afternoon, the students arrived at the New Zealand Embassy in China and received warm reception from the staff of the embassy. Under the host of the second secretary of the embassy Mr. Aiteng Mo, the meeting officially began. First of all, Liu Linyu, a 2016 Master student of the Institute for Human Rights, introduced her participation of the New Zealand Human Rights Commission internship program and the visit to Victoria University in Wellington, including the preparatory work for the application, the internship experience at the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, and study at Victoria University. At the same time, she gave a detailed account of the duties of the New Zealand Human Rights Commission and human rights protection projects such as women's rights, children's rights and indigenous rights during the internship.

Then, the staff and students of the New Zealand Embassy had a discussion on the status of human rights protection in China and New Zealand. Ms. Bi Ruiqi, a New Zealand diplomat in Beijing, and other staff members discussed with the students about how to treat the similarities and differences between China and New Zealand in terms of human rights protection, the relationship between environmental issues and human rights protection, and how New Zealand can protect human rights better with the cooperatipn of China. The students exchanged opinions from different angles in combination with their own experiences. At the same time, the students also asked the staff of the embassy how to treat China's current human rights situation, the original intention and feeling of choosing to work in the embassy, New Zealand's practical experience in women's rights protection, and so on.


Finally, the embassy staff sent a warm invitation to the students, hoping that the students can actively apply for the internship program of the New Zealand Human Rights Commission and contribute their own strength to the protection of human rights. The exchange meeting of the New Zealand Embassy in China ended successfully with warm applause.
