Rejected
While in principle the Government sees value in holding special sessions to find solutions to the human rights situation in Xinjiang, we must also take account of the level of support required to achieve such an outcome. At present we do not consider there to be sufficient support to successfully move for special sessions, or for the creation of international mechanisms on Xinjiang.
