A wave of coordinated international concern over China’s worsening human rights record was voiced during the ongoing 60th session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva, with Tibet emerging as one of the focal points of democratic nations’ interventions.

According to a Tibet.net report, statements delivered by numerous countries underscored a broad and unified call for China to respect international law, cooperate with UN mechanisms, and end systematic abuses in Tibet, East Turkestan (Xinjiang), Hong Kong, and mainland China.

The European Union demanded the release of Tibetan human rights defenders and urged China to fully cooperate with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), including implementing the recommendations of its country assessment report.
