Joint Statement on Xinjiang on the Second Anniversary of the OHCHR’s Assessment
Statement as Delivered by Ambassador Michèle Taylor

Joint Statement on Xinjiang on the Second Anniversary of the

OHCHR’s Assessment

Item 4 General Debate

57th Session of the Human Rights Council

As Delivered by Ambassador Michèle Taylor

Mr. President,

I read this statement on behalf of the core group of countries that two years
ago asked this Council to hold a debate on the situation of human rights in
Xinjiang following the publication of the Assessment by the Office of the High
Commissioner for Human Rights.

That Assessment found that the “extent of arbitrary and discriminatory detention
of members of Uyghur and other predominately Muslim groups … may constitute
international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity.”

Relying extensively on China’s own records, the Assessment further documented
systematic use of invasive surveillance on the basis of religion and ethnicity;
severe and undue restrictions on cultural, religious, and linguistic identity
and expression; torture and sexual and gender-based violence, including forced
abortion and sterilization; enforced disappearances and family separations; and
forced labor.

Over the past two years, China has had many opportunities to meaningfully
address these well-founded concerns.

We regret that China has denied the impartial and objective findings and
rejected the recommendations of the OHCHR’s Assessment. During its recent
Universal Periodic Review, China rejected many legitimate concerns and
dismissively labeled the OHCHR’s Assessment “completely illegal and void.”

We call upon China to engage meaningfully with the United Nations to implement
OHCHR’s recommendations and uphold its obligations and commitments, including by
promptly releasing all individuals arbitrarily and unjustly detained in
Xinjiang, urgently clarifying the fate and whereabouts of missing family
members, and facilitating safe contact and reunion.

We commend the efforts of human rights defenders, the courage shown by survivors
of forced labor and detention camps, and the persistent calls by families of
victims for accountability.

We continue to welcome the High Commissioner’s and his Office’s active
engagement, independent work, and continued assessment.

The human rights and fundamental freedoms of everyone must be protected. It is
incumbent on all of us not to undermine international human rights commitments
that benefit us all, and for which all states are accountable.

Thank you.

Note: The Joint statement was read by the United States on behalf of members of
the Core Group on Xinjiang: Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland,
Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.
