The Uyghur Genocide Accountability and Sanctions Act of 2025 aims to enhance the United States' response to human rights abuses in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, particularly against Uyghurs and other oppressed ethnic groups. The legislation seeks to impose stricter sanctions on individuals and entities involved in severe violations, including genocide, forced abortions, sterilizations, human trafficking, and the separation of children from their families.
