Xinhua, July 17, 2011

Liu Huawen, vice director of the human rights studies center of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said fulfilling the human rights action plan as scheduled marked a milestone in China's human rights program.

Liu said, "Drafting and implementing national human rights action plan is a long-term undertaking, and there will be more such action plans coming."

Liu said he is confident that the Chinese government will make its people's lives more secure, decent and blissful.

The 56-page report released on Thursday made an overall assessment of the implementation of the Action Plan. It also specified China's efforts on implementing the plan to safeguarding people's economic, social and cultural rights, people's civil and political rights, as well as promoting the cause of human rights in other spheres.
