More than one million Uyghurs detained in China’s “re-education centres” is a manifestation of nearly two decades of increasing tension between the Uyghurs and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). A previous leak of 400 pages of government documents demonstrates evidence of crimes against humanity within these camps, including persecution, imprisonment, and torture. Though China is not a state party the Rome Statute, creative extensions of the Court’s jurisdiction should be explored. Ultimately, Chinese officials needs to be held to account for their active detention of its own population and human rights violations.
Plus d’un million de Ouïghours sont présentement détenus dans des « centres de rééducation » mis sur pied par le gouvernement chinois. C’est là une manifestation des tensions observées depuis vingt ans entre le Parti Communiste Chinois et le peuple ouïghour. Une récente fuite de 400 pages de documents gouvernementaux a fourni de nouvelles preuves de la commission de crimes contre l’humanité tels que la persécution, l’emprisonnement en violation des dispositions fondamentales du droit international, et la torture. Même si la Chine n’est pas un État partie au Statut de Rome, des solutions créatives demeurent envisageables en ce qui a trait à la compétence de la Cour pénale internationale. Il faut que la responsabilité de Chen Quanguo soit reconnue et que celui-ci réponde de ses actes contre son peuple et des nombreuses violations des droits de la personne perpétrées.

The current detention of more than one million Uyghurs in China’s “re-education centres” is a manifestation of nearly two decades of increasing tension between the Uyghurs and the Chinese Communist Party. A recent leak of 400 pages of government documents demonstrates evidence of crimes against humanity within these camps, including persecution, imprisonment in violation of fundamental rules of international law, and torture. Though China is not a State Party to the Rome Statute, creative extensions of the Court’s jurisdiction should be explored. Ultimately, China’s Chen Quanguo needs to be held to account for their active detention of its own population and human rights violations.

The second post of this series elaborated by the Canadian Partnership for Interntional Justice argues that the accuracy of the charges confirmed prevents the repetition of errors made by the Office of the Prosecutor [‘OTP’] in the trial of Jean-Pierre Bemba, acquitted in 2018. Also, the confirmation of the charges of war crimes reveals a propre application of international humanitarian law.
