Syrian Accountability Project Releases ‘2022 Winter Olympics and Genocide’ White Paper

College of Law

The Syrian Accountability Project (SAP) has released the white paper, “The 2022 Winter Olympics and Genocide: A History of Enabling Atrocities and the Path Forward.” The paper recognizes the genocide occurring in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region against the Uyghur people, documents the history of the International Olympic Committee enabling the violation of human rights and the perpetuating of genocide, tracks the legal framework for holding complicit parties accountable, and identifies possible actions states and private entities may take to avoid complicity.

In summary, the paper indicates that “Most directly, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is responsible for the genocide of the Uyghur people. Forced concentration camps, disappearances, and slave labor put the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of the PRC. However, the PRC does not shoulder responsibility for this atrocity alone.”

The 2022 Winter Olympics and Genocide: A History of Enabling Atrocities and the Path Forward can be downloaded from .

The paper was researched and written by 11 College of Law students, along with students from the University of Michigan School of Law, Suffolk University, and the University of Washington in St. Louis under the direction of SAP founder and project leader David M. Crane L’80, former chief prosecutor, Special Court of Sierra Leone, and professor at the College of Law.

The SAP is a student organization founded at the College of Law and expanded to the University of Michigan College of Law. SAP is affiliated with the Global Accountability Network. The entirety of the report is that of SAP alone, and is not reflective of the views of 鶹ƵUniversity or its College of Law. For more information, visit .
