Dui Hua received some good news as the newest issue of Dialogue was in production. The Economic and Social Council of the United Nations renewed our Special Consultative Status for another four years. Dui Hua remains the only international NGO focused exclusively on human rights in China and the United States to have received this much-coveted status. Increasing our engagement in the international human rights arena, Dui Hua has participated in UN forums such as the Universal Periodic Review of China’s human rights record in 2009 and will take part in the upcoming review of the United States in Geneva this November.
Dui Hua maintains this status through respectful, open and frank communication with China, the United States, and those concerned about human rights in the two countries. Dialogue Issue 40 is full of examples of our approach: the lead story recaps the recent US juvenile justice delegation to China, which Dui Hua organized and the Supreme People’s Court hosted. The issue analyzes recent staff visits to two women’s detention facilities in California—the massive Valley State Prison for Women and our local San Francisco County Jail. The research and prisoner section contains information on Uyghur prisoners that we received in the course of our unique, long-running dialogue with the Chinese government, as well as background information about the only two cases known to Dui Hua of Americans currently imprisoned in China for endangering state security.
An additional article Dui Hua is posting concurrently with this issue—and available only on our website—is a guest commentary by Ms. Patricia Lee, a member of the US elegation to China and the managing attorney for the Juvenile Division of the San Francisco Public Defender's Office. In the piece, Ms. Lee shares her observations on mock trial proceedings held in Qingdao, Shandong Province.
