Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China calls for enhanced business and human rights legislation and capacity-building, with Japan urged to take lead

The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China has urged Japan to pass a law that legally requires companies to check if their business partners are involved in human rights abuses such as forced labour. The group of legislators from Western democracies also called for an early enactment of the Japanese version of the Global Magnitsky Act. The statement was made during a meeting held in the National Diet Building in Tokyo, where members' countries discussed their plans to work together in preventing human rights abuses in China's Xinjiang Uighur autonomous region and Hong Kong. The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China was established in 2020 to promote reform in how democratic countries approach China in light of Beijing's human rights violations.
