Rana Siu Inboden delves into China's involvement in the international human rights framework between 1982 and 2017, examining its evolving position in the global landscape. Through a comprehensive analysis, Inboden explores China's subtle yet persistent efforts to shape and constrain the international human rights regime.

The study focuses on three significant case studies: the drafting and adoption of the Convention against Torture and the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture, the establishment of the United Nations Human Rights Council, and the International Labour Organization's Conference Committee on the Application of Standards. By examining these case studies, Inboden sheds light on China's nuanced strategies to limit the influence of the international human rights system.

The research is based on a wealth of documentary and archival materials, as well as extensive interview data, providing fresh insights into the motivations and influences driving China's conduct. Moreover, the study explores China's rising position as a global power, considering its growing influence on international affairs and its impact on the global human rights discourse.

In conclusion, Rana Siu Inboden's study offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of China's role in the international human rights regime. By examining China's actions through a critical lens, the study sheds light on the complex dynamics between China and the international human rights system, and highlights the need for continued engagement and dialogue to promote human rights and promote global justice.
