First and foremost, we hope you and your loved ones have remained healthy, safe, and have found the support needed during these times of hardship. The Covid-19 crisis has had significant consequences on the work of human rights defenders, but many worldwide have swiftly organized and responded to the crisis to ensure fundamental rights were protected. It has also impacted the work of the UN human rights mechanisms, some having to temporarily pause part of their work.
Yet, the UN experts have not remained silent: they have strived to ensure the world did not turn a blind eye to human rights abuses in China, by speaking out and sending letters to the Government on criminal charges against a jailed Tibetan activist; the arrest of 15 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong, the inappropriate use of chemical agents and arrest of healthcare workers during the city’s mass protests, as well as Hong Kong’s flawed counter-terrorism legislation; the disappearance of Gao Zhisheng and detention of Shao Zhongguo; and the arbitrary detention over Christmas of Ding Jiaxi, Zhang Zhongshun and Dai Zhenya.
We are delighted to launch the 2nd edition of the Chinese Human Rights Monitor 2020, in order to support human rights defenders and civil society organisations better understand how to cooperate and make strategic use of the UN human rights mechanisms.
This bilingual publication gathers ISHR’s Human Rights Monitors China-related content, while closely monitoring the Chinese government within the UN human rights spaces, and providing opportunities to civil society for UN engagement around issues of human rights in China.
