Los testigos, entre los que se encontraban ejecutivos de Airbnb, Coca-Cola, Intel, Proctor &amp; Gamble y Visa, tambi\u00e9n fueron presionados sobre c\u00f3mo gestionar\u00e1n los riesgos materiales y reputacionales de estar asociados con unos Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos que se celebran en medio de un genocidio. perpetrado por el pa\u00eds anfitri\u00f3n de los Juegos.<\/p>\n<p>El Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos reconoce oficialmente como genocidio las inquietantes acciones del gobierno chino contra los uigures y otras minor\u00edas \u00e9tnicas predominantemente musulmanas en Xinjiang, incluidas la tortura, el encarcelamiento, los trabajos forzados y la presi\u00f3n para que abandonen sus pr\u00e1cticas religiosas y culturales. China tiene un historial de utilizar los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos como un espect\u00e1culo para retratar triunfalmente el sistema econ\u00f3mico, social y pol\u00edtico chino, y ya utiliz\u00f3 esta estrategia en 2008, cuando el pa\u00eds fue sede de los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos de verano en medio de una importante represi\u00f3n contra las zonas tibetanas y otros derechos humanos. abusos.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&quot;Mientras el mundo observa los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos que se desarrollan actualmente en Jap\u00f3n, esta Comisi\u00f3n sigue profundamente preocupada porque en menos de siete meses est\u00e1 previsto que comiencen otros Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos a la sombra de algunos de los abusos de derechos humanos m\u00e1s atroces del mundo&quot;, dijo el Presidente Merkley. \u201cCelebrar los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos de Invierno de 2022 en China y permitir que su gobierno autoritario coseche amplios frutos de su prestigio y propaganda de albergar este evento tan querido a nivel mundial no defiende el esp\u00edritu ol\u00edmpico. Es crucial que todos nosotros, incluidos los principales patrocinadores estadounidenses del evento, nos aseguremos de que eso no suceda\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A lo largo de la audiencia, el presidente Merkley y sus colegas del CECC expresaron su decepci\u00f3n por la negativa de los testigos a comprometerse a apoyar la reubicaci\u00f3n de los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos de 2022, y sus afirmaciones de que no podr\u00e1n instar al Comit\u00e9 Ol\u00edmpico Internacional (COI) a eliminar pa\u00edses. cometer abusos atroces contra los derechos humanos fuera de la futura consideraci\u00f3n del pa\u00eds anfitri\u00f3n. En su declaraci\u00f3n final, el Presidente Merkley se\u00f1al\u00f3 que esas decisiones son abdicaciones profundamente inquietantes de la responsabilidad moral de las empresas de enfrentarse al genocidio. Se\u00f1al\u00f3 que una abdicaci\u00f3n similar por parte de naciones, patrocinadores y organizaciones ol\u00edmpicas antes y durante los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos de 1936 en la Alemania nazi puede haber envalentonado a los l\u00edderes nazis en un momento crucial en la cronolog\u00eda de sus horrendos cr\u00edmenes contra la humanidad.<\/p>\n<p>Los legisladores tambi\u00e9n presionaron a los testigos para que detallaran las medidas que se est\u00e1n tomando para garantizar que sus productos no se fabriquen utilizando productos de trabajo forzado y para que se comprometan a apoyar a cualquier atleta ol\u00edmpico estadounidense que decida hablar en contra del genocidio.<\/p>\n<p>Merkley ha estado a la vanguardia del impulso del Congreso para fortalecer el compromiso de Estados Unidos de investigar y responder a los abusos de derechos humanos del gobierno chino contra los musulmanes uigures en China. Ese trabajo ha incluido la introducci\u00f3n del acuerdo bipartidista <i>Ley de prevenci\u00f3n del trabajo forzoso uigur<\/i>\u2014legislaci\u00f3n para garantizar que los bienes fabricados en la Regi\u00f3n Aut\u00f3noma Uigur de Xinjiang importados a Estados Unidos no se fabriquen con trabajo forzoso. La legislaci\u00f3n fue aprobada por el Senado de Estados Unidos el mes pasado.<\/p>\n<p>El v\u00eddeo de la audiencia est\u00e1 disponible. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NpkOD_jlJT0&amp;ab_channel=Congressional-ExecutiveCommissiononChina\">aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, D.C. &ndash; Oregon&rsquo;s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley, the Chairman of the bipartisan and bicameral Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), gaveled in a CECC hearing today to urge corporate sponsors of the 2022 Beijing Olympics to leverage their influence to insist on concrete human rights improvements in China.
