The 2021 South-South Human Rights Forum has concluded in Beijing. This year's theme is "Putting People First and Global Human Rights Governance". The rights to subsistence and development are generally recognized as primary and basic human rights. However, the biggest impediment to these rights is poverty. Through eight years of sustained work, China succeeded in ending extreme poverty for its entire rural poor population – almost 100 million people. China is sharing its experience in successfully eliminating extreme poverty with the developing countries of the world.
