Bill Summary
RESOLUTION Condemning the ongoing genocide and crimes against hu- manity being committed against Uyghurs and members of other religious and ethnic minority groups by the People’s Republic of China..
AI Summary
This Resolution condemns the ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity committed by the People's Republic of China (PRC) against Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minority groups, recognizing these actions as genocide under the United Nations Genocide Convention, which defines genocide as acts committed with the intent to destroy a group, and as crimes against humanity. The resolution, passed by the House of Representatives, attributes these atrocities to the PRC government, directed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), citing evidence such as mass detentions, forced indoctrination, significant drops in birth rates due to enforced measures like sterilization, forced labor, and suppression of religious and cultural practices. It calls upon the President to direct the U.S. Representative to the United Nations to refer these actions for investigation, bring them before the UN Security Council to impose multilateral sanctions, and to take all possible steps to end these atrocities and hold perpetrators accountable under international law.
