第一，和平共处五项原则为国际关系和国际法治树立了历史标杆。五项原则充分体现联合国宪章宗旨和原则，顺应国际关系发展的时代潮流，符合世界各国人民根本利益。同时，强调国与国关系相互、平等的实践要求，凸显了各国权利、义务、责任相统一的国际法治精神。五项原则涵盖国与国在政治、安全、经济、外交等方面和平共处的基本规范，为各国践行国际法治精神、建立正确相处方式提供了准确清晰、行之有效的行为准则。

First, the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence have set a historic benchmark for international relations and international rule of law. They fully conform with the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter, with the evolving trend of international relations of our times, and with the fundamental interests of all nations. In addition, they stress the importance of mutuality and equality in handling state-to-state relations, thus highlighting the essence of international rule of law, i.e. the intercorrelation of rights, obligations and responsibilities of all countries. The Five Principles provide a whole set of basic norms for peaceful coexistence among countries across political, security, economic and diplomatic domains. They constitute an unequivocal and effective code of conduct for all countries to follow in promoting the spirit of international rule of law and finding the right way to get along with each other.
