China and WHO

This essay was written for the Model United Nations (MUN) application at the American School of Doha, Qatar, by Hossein Moshfeghian in the 01-02 schoolyear. The debate over China’s human rights violation has been an ongoing issue in the international communities for the past decade.

…preventing China from joining WHO will not benefit the people of China, whose basic civil and human rights are being violated. They will only cause resentment and friction between the western nations and the government of China. I believe that China should be admitted to the World Health Organization, but at the same time the members should issue a statement reminding the Chinese government that it needs to alter it’s internal human rights policies.
