<p>We regularly discuss concerns about the human rights situation in Xinjiang with
likeminded partners at the UN. We have issued or joined a number of statements of
concern in recent months: on 29 October at UN Third Committee, the UK read out a joint
statement signed by 22 others drawing attention to the human rights violations and
abuses in Xinjiang and called on China to uphold its obligations to respect human
rights; on 24 September, during the UN General Assembly Lord (Tariq) Ahmad called
on China to allow UN observers immediate and unfettered access to the region; on 17
September, at the 42nd session of the UN Human Rights Council, the UK again called
for UN experts to be granted unfettered access to Xinjiang and raised our concerns
on arbitrary detention.</p><p></p>
