China’s rights record in spotlight at UN

China is expected to face scrutiny, particularly from Western nations, during the UN’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR), where concerns over a civil liberties crackdown, repression in Xinjiang, and Hong Kong’s stringent national security law will likely be raised. The UPR conducted every four to five years for all 193 UN member states, will bring attention to a range of issues. These include the imposition of the national security law in Hong Kong in 2020.
