The five institutions authorized to serve as education and training bases are the human rights research centers at Renmin University, Fudan University, Wuhan University, Shandong University and Southwest University of Political Science and Law.
"The move will help to promote faster and better development of China's human rights undertakings," said Cui Yuying, Deputy Director of the Information Office of China's State Council, while addressing the audience at the ceremony.
