File photo: AFP The US Senate passed legislation on Wednesday to ban the import of products from China s Xinjiang region, the latest effort in Washington to punish Beijing for what US officials say is an ongoing genocide against Uighurs and other Muslim groups.
The Uighur Forced Labour Prevention Act would create a rebuttable presumption assuming goods manufactured in Xinjiang are made with forced labour and therefore banned under the 1930 Tariff Act, unless otherwise certified by US authorities.

Dive Brief:
The Solar Energy Industries Association launched a traceability tool last week, aimed at helping manufacturers and importers of solar products identify the source of a solar product s material inputs and trace the movement of these inputs throughout the supply chain.
The launch of the tool, the Solar Supply Chain Traceability Protocol, is a response to human rights abuses in Xinjiang, China. The goal is for companies to implement the protocol s key principles and become better equipped to navigate U.S. import compliance obligations, the association said.
The tool also aims to provide customers with greater supply chain transparency. And it includes an independent, third-party audit mechanism to measure a company s implementation of traceability policies and procedures.

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) launched Thursday a new traceability tool aimed at helping manufacturers and importers of solar products identify the source of a solar product s material inputs and trace the movement of these inputs throughout the supply chain.
This new tool, the Solar Supply Chain Traceability Protocol, is in response to reports of human rights abuses in Xinjiang, China, and the hope is that companies that implement the protocol s key principles will be better placed to navigate U.S. import compliance obligations as well as provide customers with greater supply chain transparency, SEIA said. The new protocol includes an independent third-party audit mechanism to measure a company s implementation of traceability policies and procedures.
