China’s treatment of its Uighur population violates every provision of the United Nations’ genocide convention, according to a damning new report published Tuesday by dozens of experts on international law, genocide and Chinese ethnic policies.
The report, published by the Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy, is the first independent legal analysis comparing the United Nations’ convention on genocide to the claims of human rights abuses committed by China against its Muslim minority Uighur population in northwestern Xinjiang region.
“This report concludes that the People’s Republic of China bears state responsibility for committing genocide against the Uighurs in breach of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide based on an extensive review of the available evidence and application of international law to the evidence of the facts on the ground,” the document said.
