Ukraine, China in focus at UN human rights council meeting

A UN report published last year found that the detention of Uyghurs and other Muslims by China may constitute crimes against humanity.

Kiev, which has called for the establishment of a special tribunal to prosecute Russia's political and military leadership over the invasion, has said the body was essential to ensure Russia is held accountable for its crimes. It will be the first time a Russian official from Moscow has attended in person since the war began a year ago. Russia, which denies committing war crimes or targeting civilians in Ukraine, was suspended from the council in April but can still take part as an observer.

The Geneva-based UN human rights council is the only body made up of governments to protect human rights worldwide. Countries also will closely watch how Volker Turk, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights since October, refers to China after his predecessor Michelle Bachelet was accused by some rights groups of being too soft on Beijing.
