The US House of Representatives introduced a bipartisan resolution on Wednesday, strongly condemning China's ill-treatment of the Uighur community and other minorities, especially in the Xinjiang region.Labelling it as 'genocide', the authorities have urged US President Joe Biden to refer these atrocities to the United Nations."The resolution calls upon President Biden to refer these atrocities to the United Nations for investigation under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide," the US House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Gregory Meeks and another member Michael McCaul said in a joint press release.Through this, the experts are seeking multilateral sanctions against the Chinese government in the UN Security Council (UNSC) to "bring the genocide to an end".
