The U.N. agency dealing with education and culture is under fire as the heritage system is made “complicit” in ongoing atrocities perpetrated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against Uyghurs and their culture.

According to a new report by the Washington-based Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP), the CCP’s systematic actions against Uyghur culture and heritage are part of a broader campaign of “genocide” in the region of Western China known as Xinjiang.
