Uyghur Genocide Accountability and Sanctions Act of 2025

Uyghur Genocide Accountability and Sanctions Act of 2025 is a comprehensive bill designed to expand and intensify U.S. actions in response to abuses in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Building on the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020, it broadens the list of sanctionable acts to include sexual and gender-based repression, forced sterilization and abortions, organ trafficking, forced child separation, and forced deportations. The bill also aims to escalate enforcement by naming specific Chinese entities for potential sanctions, authorizing humanitarian and cultural preservation efforts for affected communities, countering Chinese propaganda, and tightening U.S. government procurement to curb forced-labor-linked goods. In addition, it creates new reporting, investigative, and diplomatic tools—ranging from documenting atrocities to addressing forced organ harvesting and detained family members of U.S. citizens in Xinjiang. The measure adds multiple funding streams and operational requirements for agencies like the State Department, Treasury, and Defense, and seeks to elevate accountability through targeted designations and public reporting. The bill is currently introductory and would require passage by both chambers and signing by the President to become law. It identifies a broad set of actions and actors, proposes funding for humanitarian and cultural initiatives, and imposes new restrictions on government contracting and procurement related to alleged human rights abuses in Xinjiang.
