The Uyghur Genocide Accountability and Sanctions Act of 2025 aims to enhance U.S. sanctions against China in response to severe human rights abuses in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, particularly targeting the Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities. The legislation seeks to hold accountable those responsible for atrocities, including forced abortions, sterilizations, and human trafficking, while also countering the genocidal policies of the Chinese government.
