摘要

History has proved and will continue to prove that stigmatization is often the harbinger of tribal vendettas, religious per- secution, wars of aggression, and even all disasters and unjust actions in the world. The majority of devastating disasters experienced by mankind originate from stigmas. While the COVID-19 pandemic rages across the globe, stigmatizing speeches based on ignorance and politi- cal agenda have created hatred and torn the anti-epidemic community apart. Those speeches trample on dignity, values, conscience, and jus- tice of human beings, and challenge international justice and the Uni- versal Declaration of Human Rights. The human rights culture serves as a critical force for mankind to overcome diseases, wars, terrorism, and disasters. To achieve peace and security in the post-epidemic world, people need to constantly reflect on human dignity and values, and to rebuild and promote human rights culture based on these re- flections.
