Mission & Interests

Goals: The World Uyghur Congress (WUC) is an international organization based in Munich, Germany, that represents the collective interest of the Uyghur people both in East Turkistan (also known as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Peoples Republic of China ‘PRC’) and abroad.

Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: The WUC performs some lobbying activities in relation to the EU and European Parliament. In particular, the WUC meets with MEPs to update them on the deteriorating situation in the Uyghur Autonomous Region and push for European action to alleviate their situation. The WUC is focused on EU foreign policy, particularly its relations with China. We advocate for human rights to be fully integrated in the EU's relations with China and for the Uyghur issue to be raised.
Communication Activities: The World Uyghur Congress works with the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation to implement its advocacy strategy in the institutions of the European Union. In 2022, a Uyghur friendship group was re-established in the European Parliament. With the group as a network for action, we intend to organise a number of conferences on specific human rights violations against Uyghurs and try to raise greater awareness of the situation of the Uyghur people.
