| Summary |
The World Bank's private lending arm, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), has committed to upholding the human rights of populations a ected by its invest- ment projects since at least 2012, with the launch of its updated Performance Standards. As the research in this report reveals, IFC has several significant investments in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR or the Uyghur Region) of the People's Republic of China (PRC), where indigenous peoples have been subjected to what international legislators, legal scholars, and advocates have determined to be a genocide. Significant evidence suggests that several of IFC's clients are active participants in the implementation of the PRC's campaign of repression against the Uyghurs, including through forced labor, forced displacement, cultural erasure, and environmental destruction. IFC's failure to adequately safeguard communities and the environment affected by its financing in the Uyghur Region makes the institution complicit in the repression of Uyghur, Kazakh, and other minoritized citizens |
