Politics and Contradiction: CECC To Highlight Prisoners of Conscience Cases in Advance of President Xi Jinping's Visit
The Congressional-Executive Commission on China was created by the U.S. Congress in 2000 "with the legislative mandate to monitor human rights and the development of the rule of law in China, and to submit an annual report
to the President and the Congress. The Commission consists of nine Senators, nine Members of the House of Representatives, and five senior Administration officials appointed by the President." (CECC About). The CECC FAQs provide useful information about the CECC. See CECC Frequently Asked Questions. They have developed positions on a number of issues: Access to Justice; Civil Society;Commercial Rule of Law; Criminal Justice; Developments in Hong Kong and Macau ; The Environment ; Ethnic Minority Rights;Freedom of Expression; Freedom of Religion ; Freedom of Residence and Movement ; Human Trafficking ; Institutions of Democratic Governance ; North Korean Refugees in China; Population Planning ; Public Health ; Status of Women ; Tibet ; Worker Rights ; and Xinjiang. CECC tends to serve as an excellent barometer of the thinking of political and academic elites in the United States about issues touching
on China and the official American line developed in connection with those issues. As such it is an important source of information about the
way official and academic sectors think about China. As one can imagine
many of the positions of the CECC are critical of current Chinese policies and institutions (see, e.g., here, here, here here, and here). In the run up the the state visit of Xi Jinping to the United States, the CECC has announced activities that focus on its current critical line toward Chinese policies. They are meant to draw attention to these
issues as the U.S. media attention is drawn to the Chinese state visit.
To that end, its leaders, including Marco Rubio, an individual seeking nomination to
stand as the representative of the Republican Party for President, have
issued a press release announcing hearings on te recent detention of Chinese lawyers. The press release can be accessed here.In addition, CECC also announced plans to draw attention to the issue of political detentions during the state visit of Xi Jinping. The press release--evidencing the importance of both internal and external politics around this significant issue--follows. It is particularly significant as it is commenced even as the United States and China seek to finalize a bi lateral trade agreement within the context of the United States led push to create a trade zone around China (see here).

John Ruggie and John Sherman on "Adding Human Rights Punch to the New Lex Mercatoria: the Impact of the Un Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights on Commercial Legal Practice"
(Pix © Larry Catá Backer 2015) Law and legal practice continue to change, and change dramatically, in the wake of the emergence of regulatory regimes beyond the state and state based law. While many lawyers and law schools continue to focus on the state, intra-state disputes and domestic legal orders as if they were autonomous and disconnected from the flows of people, capital, goods, and enterprises across borders, the vanguard element of corporations, legal counsel, civil society and risk managers have come to understand that law has become a more complicated and interconnected enterprise. And though it is moored in and through the state, it also can apply with equivalent force on the inter-state governance relations of corporations and the people with whom they interact. In the area of business and human rights, the UN Guiding Principles have become an influential and increasingly normative framework around which business organizes and gauges its behavior within global production streams. Increasingly general counsel serve as the organizational nexus point for geopolitical risk and the governance frameworks within which these may be approached and to some extent managed. (See eg here). John Ruggie and John Sherman have recently posted a very useful essay that touches nicely on these points: Adding
Human Rights Punch to the New Lex Mercatoria: the Impact of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights on Commercial Legal Practice, forthcoming in the Journal of International Dispute Settlement. That essay situates this fundamental shift both in the context of a lawyer's role in global transactions and as an evolution toward a governance environment in which contracts increasingly incorporate significant governance elements (eg here)--hardening soft law into binding obligation among economic actors within the societal sphere but in the realm of the rules that bind parties. In an age of debate about the added value of a comprehensive treaty on business and human rights, this essay reminds us that while diplomats negotiate, the rest of the world is making facts on the ground, and the UN Guiding Principles are at the center fo that normative governance project. As large trade organizations begin to incorporate the UNGP inot their basic contract terms, the norms that shape expectations of corporate behavior will change with them, and with that change law will follow--first as contract and thereafter. . . . The abstract follows. Read more »
