Uyghur Tribunal: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2022-02-09
============================================================

Gerry Horkan (FF), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I move amendment No. 1:
To delete all words after “December, 2021” and to substitute the following:
“2021;
further notes:
- continued deep concern in relation to evidence-based reports on the treatment of the Uyghur people in Xinjiang;
calls on:
- China to allow immediate, meaningful and unfettered access to Xinjiang for independent observers, including the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and her Office, and relevant special procedure mandate holders;
and urges:
- the immediate implementation of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination’s eight recommendations related to Xinjiang.”
It gives me no great pleasure as a Government Senator to move this amendment. If it is agreeable to the House, I propose that, having moved the amendment for now, the Minister of State will speak. I may comment afterwards but I want to let the Minister of State deliver the verdict or response from the Department.
