WHILE the alleged violations of the human rights of the Uyghur Muslim minorities in Xinjiang, China happened more than a year ago, it came to the fore once more when the United States raised it in the recently concluded 51st UN Human Rights Council session which took place from September 12 to Oct. 7, 2022. The US and a small group of Western countries, including Britain, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, presented a draft proposal to hold a special debate over the human rights situation in China's Xinjiang region at the council's next session in early 2023.
