As a comprehensive programmatic document outlining the blueprint for advancing legal education and legal theoretical research in the new era,the Opin-ions on Strengthening Legal Education and Legal Theoretical Research in the New Era,jointly issued by the General Office of the Communist Party of China(CPC)Cen-tral Committee and the General Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China,provides more precise ideological guidance on key aspects of legal educa-tion including its direction of development,the layout of the institutions,the education system and its organization and leadership.Human rights legal education,as a vital component of legal education,must not only adapt to the evolving demands of legal education in the new era but also strengthen its alignment with major national human rights issues.By focusing on the dual dimensions of conceptual updating and pathway optimization,human rights law education should transcend traditional knowledge boundaries,update its discourse,and foster knowledge innovation.This approach aims to synchronize innovation in human rights law education with the high-quality human rights progress.In terms of teaching philosophy,human rights law education must embrace new concepts such as subjectivity,autonomy,normativity,universality,and interdisciplinarity.Specifically,the development of human rights law education in the new era should prioritize the subjectivity of this field and deeply explore human rights elements within China's rich cultural heritage;it should also enhance the autonomy of human rights law education and emphasize a human rights development path with Chi-nese characteristics;it should adhere to normativity in the interpretation of human rights jurisprudence while conducting an in-depth study of value-neutral international human rights institutions so as to establish clear,impartial standards for international human rights;moreover,it should highlight the universality of human rights law educa-tion and justify the significance of the right to life and the right to development,par-ticularly for countries in the Global South;lastly,it should underline the interdisciplin-arity in talent training by addressing complex social issues from diverse perspectives,thus meeting the growing demand for multidisciplinary talents.In terms of teaching practice,human rights law education should actively respond to the demands of con-ceptual shifts and explore pathways for restructuring.First,the subjectivity of human rights law education requires upholding the"two combinations"in the human rights field and enhancing the theorization and interpretation of China's excellent tradition of human rights thought.Second,the autonomy of human rights law education requires a thorough study of the Marxist outlook on human rights and the application of dialecti-cal materialism to critically examine the essence of Western human rights theories.Third,the normativity of human rights law education requires a comprehensive expla-nation of the development,purpose,significance,and current status of international human rights mechanisms and treaties,alongside a deep understanding of China's role and activities within international human rights organizations.Fourth,the universality of human rights law education requires the publicity and promotion of Chinese wisdom and experiences based on China's human rights practices.Finally,the interdis-ciplinarity of human rights law education requires enriching the interdisciplinary attri-butes of this field by the integration of regional and national research perspectives.
