AUTHORITIES CONTINUED TO PLACE INDIVIDUALS INTO FORCED LABOR
According to subsequent research published by Zenz in June 2022, XUAR authorities intensified and institutionalized the place- ment of Turkic Muslims into forced labor situations, likely forcing hundreds of thousands of mass internment camp detainees to work within the XUAR and transferring millions of ‘‘rural surplus labor- ers’’ within and outside of the XUAR. Zenz’s research indicates that authorities increased ‘‘the scope and scale’’ of forced labor transfers in 2021 and published plans to move increasing numbers of rural laborers into industrial work, as well as to train workers in coercive labor programs in higher skilled labor.
GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED FORCED LABOR CONTRAVENES CHINA’S INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS
PRC government-sponsored forced labor contravenes inter- national human rights standards and China’s international obliga- tions. Government-sponsored forced labor programs in the XUAR constitute human trafficking under the Palermo Protocol and a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute. In February 2022, the International Labour Organization (ILO) released the an- nual report of the Committee of Experts on the Application of Con- ventions and Recommendations. The Committee expressed its ‘‘. . . deep concern in respect of the policy directions expressed in numerous national and regional policy and regulatory documents . . .’’ with regard to the government’s detention and labor policies among ethnic minorities from the XUAR. The Committee re- quested that the Chinese government review, repeal, and revise its policies in order to serve ethnic minority individuals in the XUAR rather than discriminate against them. According to the report, as a signatory to the ILO’s Discrimination (Employment and Occu- pation) Convention (C111), China is obligated to create a ‘‘. . . na- tional policy to promote equality of opportunity and treatment and eliminate discrimination in respect of employment and occupation,’’ and ‘‘. . . to repeal any statutory provisions and modify any admin- istrative instructions or practices which are inconsistent with such policy.’’ In April 2022, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee ratified the ILO’s Forced Labour Convention of 1930 (C029) and Abolition of Forced Labour Convention of 1957 (C105). C029 requires countries to prohibit the use of forced labor and make the use of forced labor ‘‘punishable as a penal offence.’’
Human Trafficking
Countries that ratify C105 are prohibited from using forced labor ‘‘as a means of political coercion or education’’ or ‘‘as a means of racial, social, national or religious discrimination.’’According to a human rights advocate, the PRC’s multiple violations of inter- national human rights standards on forced labor diminished mean- ingful expectations that the government will work in good faith to meet the ILO forced labor conventions. view all
