That the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade notes -- that the Special Rapporteur of the United Nations (UN) on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment has issued two reports detailing allegations of organ harvesting in China;
- that the UN and the Council of Europe are planning to introduce a new binding international treaty to prevent trafficking in organs, tissues and cells and have already issued protocols containing appropriate measures to combat the trafficking of human beings for organ removal;- and calls on the Government to actively support UN and Council of Europe initiatives, including at the Human Rights Council, to oppose the practice of forced organ harvesting in China.
