The OHCHR Assessment of human rights concerns in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China is a report published on 31 August 2022 by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) concerning the treatment of Uyghurs and other largely Muslim groups in China.

The report concluded that "[t]he extent of arbitrary and discriminatory detention of members of Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim groups, pursuant to law and policy, in context of restrictions and deprivation more generally of fundamental rights enjoyed individually and collectively, may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity.

[24] Chinese authorities acknowledged that birth rates dropped by almost a third in 2018 in Xinjiang, but denied reports of forced sterilization and genocide.

[39] Nearly four years following the findings by a U.N. Committee that the estimates of more than one million Muslims having been arbitrarily detained were credible claims, the OHCHR Assessment of human rights concerns in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China was released on 31 August 2022.

Prior to her visit, she spoke with representatives of several NGOs that were concerned about the both human rights situation in Xinjiang and in China, more broadly.

[42][45] The OHCHR described reports of sexual violence targeted at Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims within the Xinjiang internment camps as credible.

[39] Women interviewed by the United Nations described being orally raped by prison guards and being forcibly subjected to examinations of their genitalia in front of large crowds.

[46][47][44] In March 2024, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, called on China to implement the recommendations of the report.

[48] According to Politico, the report was edited "to accommodate some of Beijing’s version" in the days before it was released and one diplomat had claimed that the section on sterilization had been "watered down during the final hours.

[53] European Union High Representative Josep Borrell and future short lived British Prime Minister Liz Truss (during her time as Foreign Secretary) also welcomed the report.

[56] Darren Byler, an assistant professor at Simon Fraser University, called the report "a major vindication, for former detainees and their family members, and confirmation that the work of hundreds of researchers and journalists is valid".
