The U.S. government’s Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) came into force three years ago and the CSIS Human Rights Initiative and the Coalition to End Forced Labor in the Uyghur Region are hosting an event on December 9, 2025, to assess its impact on forced labour in China’s Xinjiang region and global markets. Since June 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has detained more than 10,000 shipments valued at nearly one billion dollars under UFLPA, demonstrating its enforcement muscle【513718957703852†L10-L14】. Dr Laura Murphy of Sheffield Hallam University will present findings on supply-chain strategies used by companies to circumvent UFLPA and the broader economic effects of the law on Chinese exports【513718957703852†L15-L22】. Uyghur advocate Jewher Ilham and human rights lawyer Anasuya Syam will join the discussion, moderated by Andrew Friedman from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security【513718957703852†L23-L30】. The event, held on Uyghur Genocide Recognition Day, aims to explore how continued implementation of UFLPA can support victims and inform emerging legislation such as the European Union’s Forced Labour Regulation and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. This case file summarises the event, participants, and enforcement statistics to highlight the importance of UFLPA in combating forced labour.
