Connotation and Value of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence in International Law under New Circumstances
The proposal of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence 70 years ago was a remarkable aspiration in the history of international relations and the development of international law.As the first public product contributed by the newly established People's Republic of China,these principles align closely with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and greatly enrich and develop the basic principles of international law,becoming an integral part of international law and the basic norms of international relations.Under the new circumstances,upholding the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence is a natural extension of China's consistent commitment to its independent foreign polity of peace.It is also essential for advancing the coordinated development of domestic and international legal systems and offers a collaborative approach for countries to address global challenges.The 70th anniversary of these principles presents an opportunity to advocate for an equal and orderly multipolar world,promote universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization,support exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations,advance democracy and the rule of law in international relations,and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
