Thank you.
Canada recommends that China:
- Implement the recommendations set out by the CESCR and CEDAW. End all coercive measures imposed on Uyghurs, Tibetans, and other ethnic minorities, including forced labour, coercive labour transfers, forced sterilizations, and mandatory residential schools.
- Ensure Hong Kong upholds its obligations under the ICCPR.
- Repeal the current National Security Law in Hong Kong and discontinue all cases against individuals charged for exercising their human rights and freedoms.
- End all forms of enforced disappearance targeting human rights defenders, ethnic minorities, and Falun Gong practitioners.
- Grant the UN, including the OHCHR and special procedures, full and unfettered access to all regions of China, including Tibet and Xinjiang.
Canada also notes with concern the increasing extraterritorial repression of HRDs.
