UN Presses China on Human Rights Abuses in Xinjiang
Two years after a critical report, problematic policies persist, and calls for accountability grow louder.
- The UN Human Rights Office reports ongoing 'problematic' policies in Xinjiang despite past recommendations.
- China continues to deny allegations of crimes against humanity, including mass detention and forced labor of Uyghurs.
- UN High Commissioner Volker Türk has engaged in discussions with Chinese officials but notes limited progress.
- Rights groups and UN member states urge concrete actions and accountability measures at the upcoming Human Rights Council session.
- Calls for a China-specific inquiry and international cooperation to challenge Beijing's impunity are intensifying.
