UN: China's Xinjiang Policies May Be Crimes Against Humanity
News summary

Two years after the United Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR) issued a damning report on China's treatment of Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, the Chinese government continues to reject the findings and maintain problematic policies. The OHCHR's report had concluded that these actions may constitute crimes against humanity, citing evidence of torture, forced labor, and sexual violence. Despite ongoing discussions and a recent visit by UN officials, China has not revised its counterterrorism laws or policies that disproportionately target minorities. The United States and other international actors remain deeply concerned and continue to call for the release of detainees and thorough investigations into rights abuses. The UN urges China to align its policies with international human rights standards and to protect minorities from discrimination. OHCHR continues to monitor the situation closely, facing challenges due to limited access and fear of reprisals against those engaging with the UN.
