Congress finds that, as of the date of the enactment of this Act the sanctions provided for under that Act have been employed once since passage of the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act in 2020, even though genocide and other horrific human rights abuses continue to occur. It is the sense of Congress that the President should employ the sanctions provided for under the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020— to address ongoing atrocities, including the use of forced labor and the arbitrary detention of the families of United States citizens and residents, in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China; and to hold entities and officials of the People’s Republic of China accountable for atrocities.
