Overseas Development Aid: Motion.
They found no evidence that UNFPA was "knowingly supported or participated in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilisation in the PRC." The team found that notwithstanding some relaxation in the 32 counties in which UNFPA is involved, the population programs of the PRC "retain coercive elements in law and in practice." The team noted a system of extremely high fines and penalties imposed on families that exceed the number of children.
