7. Human Rights in China
There is increasing focus on how each country is dealing with issues confronting the international community that have been raised by the advance of globalization. China has seen particularly rapid change due to the growth of its economy, and there are growing calls for the country to become a responsible stakeholder in the global community.
Expectations that China would adhere to the rule of law are rising. How will it develop and reform its system of domestic governance, and how will it deal with the problem of human rights?
The guest speaker at the seventh in the series of symposiums on Reconstructing Values for the Global Age will be Luo Haocai, president of the China Society for Human Rights Studies, who until the most recent National People's Congress served as the vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. In the panel discussion, Luo will be joined by Akio Harada, president of the International Civil and Commercial Law Centre Foundation and former prosecutor general. The discussion will be moderated by The Tokyo Foundation Distinguished Fellow Masahiko Aoki
