Policy Workshop: Addressing China's Human Rights Violations Through (and at) the UN

Under Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party, China has regressed from functioning as an authoritarian state to arguably a totalitarian one. China has further sought to alter and undermine previously settled understandings of international human rights at the United Nations & UN mechanisms designed to implement those rights. This project considers what opportunities exist to address China's human rights violations employing UN mechanisms, & ways to counter China's attempts to coopt the UN's human rights framework.
