14th Meeting 58th Session of Human Rights Council UN Web TV
– General debate under agenda item 2 (Cont’d)
International Bar Association, Ms. Ewelina Ochab
发言内容：
The situation of the Uighur community in Xinjiang including the allegations of genocide and crimes against humanity against the ethnic religious minority group and the ever growing reports of the use of Uighur forced labor in the supply chain.
The IBAHRI is highly concerned about reports of countries including Thailand deporting Uighurs to China where they may face mistreatment. More than two years after the report of the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet identifying gross human rights violations in Xinjiang that may amount to crimes against humanity, the Human Rights Council failed to discuss its findings and identify adequate responses.
As the human rights violations against the community continue, the Joint Committee on Human Rights in the UK Parliament is currently examining the issue of Uighur forced labor in the supply chain to identify the needed responses and ensure that the consumers in the UK are not complicit in the crimes.
This should be done globally as well. The situation of Uighurs in Xinjiang requires urgent attention from the UN through a truly victim survivor centric approach.
The IBAHRI calls upon the High Commissioner and this Council to without any further delay decide to have an in-depth discussion, sessional intercessional debate on the findings of the report and responses needed. Continued ongoing monitoring of and public reporting on the human rights situation in Xinjiang including the issue of modern day slavery, ensure that the voices of victims and survivors are heard and they are fully involved in all decisions that concern them.
