Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Namibia remains resolute in its stance to vote against debating alleged widespread abuses in China\u2019s Xinjiang, citing a recent United Nations motion as being tabled through an ambush, outside normal procedure.<\/p>\n

Namibia\u2019s position was clarified by international relations executive director Penda Naanda yesterday. Naanda was responding to questions from New Era after it surfaced that the UN Human Rights Council (OHCHR) last week Thursday in Geneva, Switzerland voted against a \u201c\u2019Western-led\u2019 motion to hold a debate on the human rights situation in China\u2019s Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region.\u201d Namibia was one of the 19 countries<\/p>\n

which rejected the draft decision.<\/p>\n

The draft decision was put forward by the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Turkey, amongst others.<\/p>\n

The move allegedly came after former UN rights chief Michelle Bachelet released her Xinjiang report, citing possible crimes against humanity against Uyghurs and<\/p>\n

other Muslim minorities in China\u2019s far-western region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the type of cooperative approach with UN human mechanisms that Namibia encourages for purposes of addressing alleged human rights concerns in a specific country,\u201d Naanda said.<\/p>\n

The visit was the first in 17 years by a UN high commissioner for human rights, he emphasised.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the visit to China in May, the former high commissioner appreciated the cooperation showed by the Chinese government, underlined the importance of continued constructive dialogue with China, and indicated that the OHCHR looks forward to building upon this initial visit to China,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

According to Naanda, discussing the motion at the back of Bachelet\u2019s visit is regressive.<\/p>\n

\u201cNamibia was, therefore, surprised by the draft decision on China, which sought to put a country on the agenda of the council. This decision would have had the effect of undermining any future cooperation between China and the OHCHR,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

It would also appear that, at least from Namibia\u2019s vantage point, that the motion on China was brought through the backdoor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe proponents of the draft decision sought to put the situation of human rights in Xinjiang on the agenda of the council through a procedural decision, which departs from the standard practice of introducing country-specific situations by way of substantive resolutions,\u201d the diplomat added.<\/p>\n

On the day of the vote, Namibia\u2019s representatives advocated against the politicisation of the human rights council, and that it strictly \u201cadheres to the principles of objectivity, non-interference in internal affairs, non-selectivity, impartiality, and respect multilateralism and constructive dialogue. \u201cFor these reasons, Namibia voted against this draft decision,\u201d Naanda buttressed.<\/p>\n

But on the day of the vote, Western countries thought that by going no further than simply seeking to talk about the findings, enough other nations would vote in their favour.<\/p>\n

However, in a moment of knife-edge drama, countries on the 47-member council in Geneva voted 19-17 against holding a debate on human rights in Xinjiang, with 11 nations abstaining.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a victory for developing countries, and a victory for truth and justice,\u201d tweeted Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying.<\/p>\n

Amnesty International branded the vote farcical, while Human Rights Watch (HRW) said it betrayed abuse victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States condemns today\u2019s vote preventing a discussion about Xinjiang,\u201d US ambassador to the council Michele Taylor tweeted.<\/p>\n

Alongside Namibia, other nations who voted against the debate were Bolivia, Cameroon, China, Cuba, Eritrea, Gabon, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Mauritania, Nepal, Pakistan, Qatar, Senegal, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and Venezuela.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Argentina, Armenia, Benin, Brazil, The Gambia, India, Libya, Malawi, Malaysia, Mexico and Ukraine abstained.<\/p>\n

Washington and some Western countries have used Xinjiang \u201cto spread rumours and cause trouble, engaging in political manipulation under the guise of human rights, attempting to smear China\u2019s image,\u201d a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe plot by the US and some Western countries has once again failed. Xinjiang-related issues are fundamentally not<\/p>\n

human rights issues, but are counter-terrorism, deradicalisation and anti-separatism issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Western diplomat stressed that regardless of the outcome, \u201cthe number one objective has been fulfilled\u201d in putting Xinjiang in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Bachelet\u2019s report was published minutes before her term ended on 31 August 2022, and highlighted ‘credible’ allegations of widespread torture, arbitrary detention and violations of religious and reproductive rights. It brought UN endorsement to long-running allegations that China detained more than one million Uyghurs and other Muslims and forcibly sterilised women, allegations China vehemently denies.<\/p>\n

Amnesty International\u2019s secretary general Agnes Callamard said Thursday\u2019s vote put the council in \u201cthe farcical position of ignoring the findings of the UN\u2019s own human rights office\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor council member states to vote against even discussing a situation where the UN itself says crimes against humanity may have occurred, makes a mockery of everything the Human Rights Council is supposed to stand for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Human Rights Watch\u2019s China director Sophie Richardson called it an \u201cabdication of responsibility and a betrayal of Uyghur victims\u201d. The International Service for Human Rights China advocate Raphael Viana David said: \u201cCouncil members sent today a dreadful message: China remains so far untouchable.\u201d<\/p>\n

African countries, where China is the leading creditor after making massive infrastructure investments, faced particularly heavy lobbying, observers<\/p>\n

said. In the end, only Somalia voted \u2018yes\u2019 out of 13 countries.<\/p>\n

Britain\u2019s ambassador Simon Manley<\/p>\n

said the close result nonetheless showed China that \u201ca significant number of countries will not be silenced when it comes to egregious human rights violations\u201d, whoever the perpetrator.<\/p>\n
