UN High Commissioner must uphold principled and coherent response to China's human rights crisis

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet announced on 8 March that she has secured a visit to China ‘foreseen to take place in May’. Her announcement in an update to the UN Human Rights Council comes three and a half years after she publicly requested unrestricted access to China for the first time. Over this period, the undersigned organisations consider that she did not take adequate public diplomacy steps, including official statements, to respond to allegations of serious rights violations in the country in a timely manner.

Cornell students hosting protest against Chinese treatment of Uighur Muslims

ITHACA, NY On May 7, from 6-7 p.m., Cornell students and their allies will gather on the steps of Goldwin Smith Hall to protest against Chinaâs genocide ofÂ Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang. Protesters will voice their dissent against this egregious violation of human rights by presenting speeches, honoring a moment of silence for the 2 million Uighurs total that are currently and have been detained, and playing music. Protesters will also be calling on all participants to take several action items to address the genocide: steps like signing a pledge to boycott all goods made in China (as some have been found to have been made with forced Uighur labor), spreading the word on social media, contacting elected representatives, and advocating for the passage of legislation like the Hong Kong Safe Harbor and the Uyghur Forced Labor Preventation Acts.
