UN Human Rights Council vetoes a proposal suggesting debate on the humanitarian situation in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China
The draft decision was put forward by the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Türkiye, among others.
"This is a victory for developing countries and a victory for truth and justice," tweeted Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying. "The United States condemns today's vote preventing a discussion about Xinjiang," US ambassador to the council Michele Taylor tweeted. Washington and some Western countries have used Xinjiang "to spread rumours and cause trouble, engaging in political manipulation under the guise of human rights, attempting to smear China's image," a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a statement."Xinjiang-related issues are fundamentally not human rights issues, but are counter-terrorism, deradicalisation and anti-separatism issues.
