🇨🇳“All states, including China, have unequivocally accepted that slavery and racial discrimination, torture and genocide are prohibited,” it said. “They have committed to not carry out those proscribed acts; they have committed to their prevention; and they have committed to punishment of perpetrators where they have found individuals to have committed those proscribed acts. There can be no derogation from those commitments.”
報告說：「所有國家都明確接受了禁止奴隸制度、種族歧視、酷刑和大屠殺，包括中國在內。他們曾保證不進行這些被嚴禁的行為，保證會預防，也保證當發現個人犯下這些禁止行為時，會懲罰犯罪者。這些承諾絕不能被減損。」
