Abstract
Abstract In this paper, I examine two substantive reservations China has made to international human rights treaties, namely China’s reservation to Article 8.1(a) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and Article 6 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), as well as the arguments China adopted to support them in the constructive dialogue between China and the two treaty committees. By positioning China’s reservations and its supporting arguments against the current criteria on making reservations to international human rights treaties, I argue that these two reservations are permissible and the arguments that support them are in general justifiable, all things considered. In conclusion, I reflect on China’s relationship with international human rights treaty bodies through the lens of reservations.
