Mr Xi’s policies over recent years have put Muslim minorities in China’s western region of Xinjiang under a pervasive net of surveillance, detention and social re-engineering.
But China will not recognise its jurisdiction, which has raised the question of how far the case will go.Rodney Dixon, a British lawyer leading the case, said it circumvented the issue of jurisdiction over Beijing by focusing on claims of unlawful acts by China in Cambodia and Tajikistan, two countries that are members of the court.
The two Uighur groups that filed the complaint against China are the East Turkistan Government in Exile and the East Turkistan National Awakening Movement. A Uighur child plays alone in the courtyard of a home at the Unity New Village in Hotan, in western China's Xinjiang region.The Uighurs have long resented the tight controls imposed by authorities on their religion and culture and the influx of Han Chinese, the majority ethnic group in China, into Xinjiang.
That’s the moment when they have to decide between safeguarding HumanRights and not angering CCPChina. I hope they make the right choice. Dealing with a totalitarian and an extreme expansionist is a Faustian bargain as reflected that some places are experiencing the pain.
stupid. So the one child policy for the other Chinese people in the last 30-40 years was also a Genocide? Why most of the chinese parents are only allowed to have two children, but the Uighurs can have 3 and even more?
Sad that institutions and nations aren’t prepared to call out the UyghurGenocide. Plenty paid attention to Myanmar’s treatment of the Rohingya. Where are those noisy human rights activists now?
Time for governments to re-link trading and human rights.

Victoria to hold first judge-only trial, but lawyers favour jury systemBarristers and people accused of crimes in Victoria have largely shunned a new law allowing cases to be heard by a judge alone, instead expressing their strong faith in the jury system. Best judge in the country this one Agree. CRIMINAL? Unless actual physical violence was undertaken this is a legal problem only. What a minor charge needs to be judged by what will be straight, neurotic, prescription dependent civilians.. Community service (100 hrs.) DISMISSED. I wish there were more Judges like this lady. She is an absolute gun!

Queensland joins WA in push for international flight cap amid Melbourne virus spikeState premiers have lobbied the Morrison government to reduce international flights coming into Australia as Melbourne grapples with a coronavirus spike. I wonder if any States would have coped with the influx of infectious returning travellers that Melbourne has endured. If the whole world had done this and shut everything down (except essential services) for 1 month back in Feb/March the virus would be all but gone. Hey, but what do I know, I’m not a world leader who’s main interest has been the economy. And hasn’t that worked out just great. Needs to happen while the country grapples with Victoria. Every day more Covid people come into the country. One into NSW is now at risk of spreading it in Newcastle. Stem the flow!

China is a lying wh0re.

Brace for ‘big’ virus numbers, Victoria warnsVictoria recorded another 74 cases of coronavirus overnight, after a spike of 108 cases yesterday and more than two weeks of of new cases in at least the double digits. Consider me “braced”! 3000 people trapped in a building, being held as prisoners, forced to take a test via a dodgy test kit that has registered Covid 'positive' for fruit & inanimate objects. Firstly, you're breaking international human rights laws, but do go on about your 'faultless' testing And they each get $750 just for staying home for FIVE days. That’s good money to appease the lefties!
