Bill > SR20

This Resolution denounces the practice of organ harvesting from individuals who have not given their consent, specifically targeting prisoners of conscience, which includes Falun Gong practitioners and political prisoners, within the People's Republic of China (PRC). The resolution highlights that while organ transplantation is a medical miracle when ethically performed, the PRC's organ transplant system, which conducts a significant number of transplants annually, lacks transparency and has been linked to the use of organs from executed prisoners since at least 1984. It further states that Falun Gong practitioners, a spiritual group persecuted by the PRC government since 1999, are believed to be the primary victims of this organ harvesting, with reports suggesting tens of thousands may have been killed for their organs. The resolution emphasizes that this practice violates international ethical standards and human rights, and calls for the transmission of this denouncement to key international and diplomatic figures.
