Three Years of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act: Assessing the Impact

In the three years that the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) has been implemented, the US government has denied the entry of over 10,000 shipments worth nearly a billion dollars. But many wonder, what are the larger impacts of the law?

In this CSIS Human Rights Initiative event taking place on Uyghur Genocide Recognition Day, Senior Associate Dr. Laura Murphy will discuss the findings of her research on the impact of the UFLPA. She will also discuss the future of UFLPA implementation and the effects it is having on global forced labor legislation. Following the presentation, Jewher Ilham, Forced Labor Project Manager, Worker Rights Consortium, Anasuya Syam, Human Rights and Trade Policy Director, The Human Trafficking Legal Center, and Thea Lee, experienced workers' rights advocate and former Deputy Undersecretary for International Affairs in the Department of Labor, will join the conversation for a discussion moderated by Andrew Friedman, Director, CSIS Human Rights Initiative. 

The CSIS Human Rights Initiative along with the Coalition to End Forced Labor in the Uyghur Region invite you to join us on December 9th at 3:00 pm ET. 

Please note that in-person registration has closed. We still invite you to register to join us virtually. 

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
