対中人権決議を採択　ウイグル・チベットに懸念―衆院

　衆院は１日の本会議で、中国・新疆ウイグル自治区などでの人権侵害に懸念を表明する決議を与党と立憲民主、日本維新の会などの賛成多数で採択した。「国際社会が納得するような形で説明責任を果たすよう強く求める」と訴えているが、日中関係に配慮して名指しでの中国批判は避けた。
　決議はチベットや「南モンゴル」（内モンゴル自治区）、香港も挙げ、「信教の自由への侵害や強制収監をはじめとする深刻な人権状況」があると指摘。こうした動きを「国際社会に対する脅威」と位置付けている。（2022/02/01-13:14）

Japan's House of Representatives, the lower chamber of parliament, adopted a resolution Tuesday expressing concerns about alleged human rights abuses in the Xinjiang Uighur autonomous region and some other places in China.
   The resolution was approved by a majority including the Liberal Democratic Party-led ruling bloc and some opposition parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Innovation Party).
   The resolution strongly urges China to "fulfill its accountability in a way that convinces the international community." But it avoided criticizing the country by name in consideration for Japan-China relations.
   The resolution noted "severe human rights situations, including violations of freedom of religion and cases of involuntary imprisonment" in "southern Mongolia," or the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Tibet and Hong Kong, in addition to the Xinjiang region.
   It described such rights violations as "threats to the international community."
