Because of Hong Kong: New chapter in the dispute between the USA and China

A group of independent experts from the United Nations has been alarmed by the suppression of freedom rights in China. Decisive international action as a countermeasure against current developments is necessary, it said on Friday in a message in Geneva.

The world community must pay attention to Beijing’s new security law for Hong Kong. In addition, the handling of Uyghurs and Tibetans and the persecution of civil rights activists should be closely monitored, according to the 50 experts.

The Geneva Human Rights Council, which is due to start a new session next week, could take a variety of measures to address the situation, including the use of an official investigation. The communication denounces how to deal with the pro-democratic protests in Hong Kong.

The UN experts recently issued a similar call to the Human Rights Council, which called for action against the racism allegations in the United States. Allies of the United States have prevented a formal UN commission of inquiry. Austria is also currently a member of the Human Rights Council, which is chaired by the Austrian UN ambassador to Geneva, Elisabeth Tichy-Fisslberger.
