V. Conclusion
Development comes as the top priority for both the international society and the domestic society, which has been generally accepted by the people. However, the people differ as to whether and how to pursue the harmonious development. In essence, pursuing and realizing the harmonious development mainly go to tackle the relationship between development and human rights. Human rights should constitute the momentum and purpose of development, and development will lose its direction and soul without the guidance of human rights and the nourishment of the human right spirit. The view of harmonious development reveals the essence, principle, objective and methodology regarding development. In this sense, it provides a clear route sign to resolve various conflicts faced by the humankind, prevent and get rid of various social and natural crises, and realize the global prosperity. To guide the development of the international community and the domestic society to deepening, we should always bear in mind the essence of the people orientation for the harmonious development, keep exploring and enriching the connotation of the modern view of human rights, make every effort to promote the harmonious development across the world, and strive to boost the level of the international human right protection.
