Abstract

In this contribution the author examines options for legal accountability in relation to possible crimes against humanity and genocide against the Uighurs. While China’s reluctance to accede to international adjudication mechanisms means there are limited avenues for accountability, recent developments in relation to the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction over crimes with a transboundary element may open the door to possible investigation and prosecution of Chinese nationals. However, more immediate steps to respond to the situation in Xinjiang will focus on securing access for an independent fact-finding investigation and persuading China to uphold its responsibility to protect.
中国和维吾尔人:法律问责的选择
在这篇文章中,作者探讨了对维吾尔人可能犯下的危害人类罪和种族灭绝罪的法律问责办法。虽然中国不愿加入国际审判机制意味着追究责任的途径有限,但最近国际刑事法院对跨境犯罪的管辖权的发展可能为调查和起诉中国公民打开了大门。然而,应对新疆局势的更直接措施将集中于确保独立的事实调查进入,并说服中国坚持其保护责任。
