This HRIC whitepaper analyzes the counterterrorism policies and practices of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a regional group comprising six states with deeply troubling human rights records: China, the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. It highlights the potential human rights impacts of these policies and practices that also enable SCO member states to target their own populations through repressive measures that compromise internationally recognized human rights, including undermining non-refoulement, privacy rights and due protections.
