Urging the International Olympic Committee to take into consideration the mass detention of Uyghurs and consider all options to uphold the fundamental rights of persecuted minorities in China ahead of the 2022 Olympic Games.

House Resolution 466 is a non-binding measure that formally calls upon the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to address human rights concerns in China prior to the 2022 Winter Olympics. The resolution argues that holding the games in a country accused of genocide and crimes against humanity, specifically regarding the treatment of Uyghurs and other religious minorities, conflicts with the Olympic Charter’s principles of human dignity and non-discrimination. While the resolution does not change U.S. law, it serves as an official expression of congressional intent, urging the IOC to consider all options—including relocation of the games—to uphold the fundamental rights of persecuted groups.
