UFLPA crackdown fears as enforcement dips

WASHINGTON D.C. – A global coalition of NGOs has warned that enforcement of the US Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) is falling behind the shifting realities of state‑imposed labour in China, four years after the law came into force.

The Coalition is pressing Washington to add new names to the Entity List, tighten scrutiny of labour transfer schemes, clamp down on third‑country routing, and expand high‑priority sectors and also wants importers required to trace supply chains to raw‑material level and for authorities to publish clearer data on detentions and release decisions.
