Chapter four examines China’s role during the establishment of a new body to replace the UN Commission on Human Rights.It investigates China’s behavior in the UNCHR, which it joined in 1982, and the impact of Tiananmen as a watershed event that altered the PRC’s relationship with the regime.It then examines Beijing’s positions in reforming the UN human rights body and replacing the Commission with the Council beginning with the first reform proposals in 2004 to the final stage when Human Rights Council members engaged in an Institution-Building process from 2006 through 2007.Because the Institution-Building Process encompassed reviewing a wide range of human rights procedures, including the individual petition system and the special procedures, this chapter provides an unparalleled glimpse into the PRC’s posture toward a broad array of the regime’s mechanisms.It also chronicles the emergence of the Like-Minded Group in the UN Commission on Human Rights in advancing reform proposals in the mid- to late-1990s.
