  • More about East Turkistan's Right to Sovereignty: Decolonization and Beyond


This study examines the relationship between the People's Republic of China and the people of East Turkistan, focusing on China's settler colonialism and East Turkistan's independence movement. It provides a dispassionate analysis of the East Turkistan's national dilemma in terms of international law and legal precedent, distinguishing substantial evidence from claims of China's crimes against humanity and genocide. The book argues that East Turkistan can be understood through history and law as an illegally occupied territory undergoing genocide and that East Turkistani people had basis advancing territorial claim for independence.

The relationship between the People's Republic of China and the people of East Turkistan, specifically between China's settler colonialism and East Turkistan's independence movement, is the focus of this study. This study stands out for its objective examination of East Turkistan's national predicament in terms of international law and legal precedent, as well as its careful distinction between substantial evidence of China's crimes against humanity and genocide in East Turkistan that have not yet been fully verified. The author demonstrates how other nations have overlooked the nature of that relationship and thus avoided posing crucial questions about East Turkistan that have been posed and answered regarding other occupied and colonized states. The book examines this situation and offers the tools and reasoning to comprehend East Turkistan's actual position in the international community. Currently, the world has bought into China's rhetoric about "stability" and "fighting extremism," and international organizations have accepted China's portrayal of Uyghurs and other people as "minorities" within a Chinese nation-state. This book, on the other hand, demonstrates that East Turkistan can be properly understood through history and law as an illegally occupied territory experiencing genocide. It also argues that East Turkistani people had a basis for advancing territorial claims for independence.
