法治中国建设与以人为本的科学发展观和人权保障事业之间具有密切的联系。2014年10月，党的十八届四中全会通过的《中共中央关于全面推进依法治国若干重大问题的决定》勾画出中国法治与人权事业的新蓝图。中国政府加快了人权白皮书的发布频率，并以中期评估的方式推动第二个“国家人权行动”计划的落实。中国政府反腐败力度空前，这对于人权保障具有多重重要意义。人权教育颇受重视，又有5所高校被授予国家人权教育与培训基地称号。中国参与国际人权机制的工作取得了阶段性进展。
There are close links among the construction of the rule of law，the people-oriented scientific outlook of development，and the safeguarding of human rights. The Decision of the CPC Central Committee on Major Issues Pertaining to Comprehensively Promoting the Rule of Law，adopted at the Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth CPC Central Committee in October 2014，has sketched a new blueprint for the development of the rule of law and human rights cause in China. The Chinese government has decided to increase the frequency of publication of white papers on human rights and to promote the implementation of national human rights action plans by way of mid-term evaluation；the unprecedented efforts made by the Chinese government in the fight against corruption have multiple significances for the safeguarding of human rights；human rights education has been attached greater importance to，as proud by the designation of five more colleges and universities as national-level human rights education and training bases；and China has also made new progresses in participating in international human rights protection mechanisms.
