Uyghur Genocide Intelligence Review Act

The Uyghur Genocide Intelligence Review Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 3349, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of addressing the ongoing human rights abuses against the Uyghur Muslim minority in China. The bill calls for the Director of National Intelligence to submit a report to Congress within 90 days of the bill's enactment, detailing the extent of the Chinese government's actions against the Uyghur population.

Specifically, the report must include an assessment of whether the Chinese government's actions constitute genocide, as defined by the United Nations Genocide Convention.

Supporters of the bill argue that the US government has a moral obligation to speak out against genocide and take action to prevent further atrocities. Overall, the Uyghur Genocide Intelligence Review Act represents a significant step towards addressing the ongoing crisis in Xinjiang province and holding the Chinese government accountable for its treatment of the Uyghur population.
