Some activists are dissatisfied with the report's refusal to use the term "genocide." "In a final insult to Uyghur survivors, the report fails to mention the word genocide a single time," said Rahima Mahmut, a U.K.-based Uyghur campaigner. "You have to wonder what the U.N. is for if it can’t admit what is staring them plainly in the face."

Lots of damning info in the report. Refusing to call this a genocide doesn't change the horrific reality on the ground, just like calling something a "special military operation" doesn't magically make the horrors of war any less real.
