UN Pushes for Accountability on China’s Human Rights Violations

At recent UN gatherings, international calls for China to address human rights abuses in the Uyghur region, Tibet, Hong Kong, and mainland China intensified. Despite Beijing's dismissal of findings in the UN’s 2022 Xinjiang report, which implicates China in potential crimes against humanity, the report remains central in discussions. At the 57th UN Human Rights Council session, the Xinjiang Core Group and other countries urged China to end arbitrary detentions, clarify missing persons' statuses, and respect civic freedoms. Similarly, a joint statement at the UN General Assembly, led by Australia, condemned rights abuses in Tibet, highlighting cultural and political repression.
