المصدر: CGTN EN | Source: CGTN ENThe 2026 Forum on Global Human Rights Governance was held in Beijing, where CGTN's Li Jingjing interviewed guests from multiple countries on site. Voices from the Global South gathered to tell the most authentic stories of human rights.

As more voices join this conversation, a broader question emerges: who gets to define human rights and what should those rights ultimately deliver for ordinary people?
