  • 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.
