WEI Jingsheng Meets with Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of International Organization Affairs of the US State Department, Mark Lagon, about UN and Human Rights
On Friday, April 14, 2006, Wei Jingsheng, the Chairman of OCDC (the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition), and Ciping Huang, the OCDC Secretary-General, visited Mr. Mark Lagon, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of International Organization Affairs of the US State Department. Mr. Lagon's own staff and senior officer in charge of the China program from Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor of the US State Department, Ms. Susan O'Sullivan, were also present at the meeting.
Mr. Lagon has broad responsibility for multilateral policy development, negotiations and administration, particularly within the United Nations system. He has lead responsibility for UN-related human rights and humanitarian policy, UN administration and reform, etc. During the meeting, both sides discussed the functionality of the US within the United Nations, especially exchanging information and stands on the issue of promoting human rights. Both Mr. Lagon and Ms. O'Sullivan also informed Mr. Wei of some arrangements the US government has made recently. Mr. Wei thinks that the US' global approach to the human rights issue is very reasonable, but could also overcome some shortcomings.
Right before the meeting was finished, Mr. Lagon took Mr. Wei's "Courage to Stand Alone - Letters from Prisons" book from his bookshelf and asked Mr. Wei to sign it. He told Mr. Wei that he bought the book when it was just published and now wants his office staff to read it as well, in an effort to push for human rights progress.
The meeting lasted for one hour. Both sides expressed wishes to continue with future cooperation, and also agreed to have further discussions on human rights affairs later on.

魏京生与美国国务院主管联合国事务的副助理国务卿马克雷刚会面,讨论新形势下的联合国及中国人权问题
2006年4月14日下午，中国民主运动海外联席会议主席魏京生与秘书长黄慈萍前往美国国务院拜访了主管联合国事务的副助理国务卿马克雷刚(Mark Lagon), 就联合国事务及有关的中国人权状况进行了讨论。同时在座的还有马克雷刚办公室工作人员及美国国务院人权局的资深中国人权问题专家苏珊欧绍勒文(Susan O'Sullivan)女士。
双方就美国在联合国中的作用，尤其是人权方面的推动问题进行了信息与态度上的交换。魏京生先生就新形势下如何推动人权事业提出了很多的建议。雷刚先生与欧绍勒文女士也向魏京生先生介绍了美国政府近期内在人权事务上的做法与设想。魏先生认为美国就下一步的全球人权事务安排很有道理，但也有些不足之处。
会谈结束时，雷刚先生从他的书架上取出魏京生先生的“狱中书信集”请魏京生先生签字纪念。他说，他在该书刚出版时就买了一本，现在希望办公室的助手也能读一读，好好学习，推动人权的进步。
会谈进行了一个小时。双方表达了继续合作的愿望，并一致同意将继续就人权事务进行进一步的交流。
